Xmas Present
Read more: Xmas PresentChristmas present from a physicist to a mathematician Ages ago when I was a postgraduate at Oxford, I sat in the back of a lecture theatre of a lecture that I wandered into when my experiment was running in the basement of the Nuclear Physics building. The lecturer that day was James Binney and he…

Qubits
Read more: QubitsThe Building Blocks of Magic in Our World As a child, I never believed in fairy tales, and as a teenager, I never read love stories. There was a kind of emptiness in my inner landscape, a space where other people seemed to store their myths and enchantments. That space remained untouched until the day…

Hallucination
Read more: HallucinationHallucination is the bane of Large Language Models. When an AI doesn’t know something — because it never saw it in its training data — it doesn’t stop or say “I’m not sure” or “F*ck knows!” Instead, it keeps predicting the next word anyway, and that’s when it starts hallucinating and ends up producing answers…

Hilbert space
Read more: Hilbert spaceHilbert space isn’t just mathematics — it’s the infinite stage where quantum states dance, where superposition and entanglement weave patterns more intricate than any spell. To me, it feels like love: vectors aligning, dimensions unfolding, a proof written in silence. In this boundless geometry, reality bends, and the magic is not in equations alone, but…

Ethical AI
Read more: Ethical AIProbabilities, Primates and Purpose: My Path to Ethical AI I don’t do things the conventional way. Probably because I am neurodiverse, and I learn by doing, and testing, and putting it out there to be challenged (detractors call it my vanity projects, but heyho, my money, my time, my life and therefore my choices). When…

Bayesian Choices
Read more: Bayesian ChoicesA few days ago, I shared these lines in a blog post titled Planck: The “spin” refers to electron spin; the “wave” to quantum wave functions. But the inspiration behind my words came not from physics alone—it was Robert Frost’s immortal poem The Road Not Taken. I was in a taxi, traveling along Abingdon Road…

Planck
Read more: PlanckI wrote a poem and I mentioned the term Planck constant. A Sista messaged me to ask, “What is Planck constant? Is it like planking?” (which we have been obsessed with in the Fab4050 60 Day Challenge). So here it is. The Planck constant is like the ruler for measuring how tiny and strange the…
