Cosmic Variance
« Remind me not to mess with John Banville
Stewart on fire »

Friggin’ scientists

by Sean Carroll

Continuing the Cosmic Variance/Dinosaur Comics synergy: T. Rex contemplates multiple universes.

Dinosaur comics

I’m pretty sure that T. Rex would have eventually gotten around to explaining eternal inflation and the landscape, if only that downer Utahraptor hadn’t been such a buzzkill. Maybe we should get Ryan North as a guest blogger?

Except that: there are plenty of borderline-plausible theories that we haven’t yet put forward. We’re working on that.

    • Cosmic Variance Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
      • Daniel Holz
      • JoAnne Hewett
      • John Conway
      • Julianne Dalcanton
      • Mark Trodden
      • Risa Wechsler
      • Sean Carroll
      Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.
