> The Consolation of Haldane depends, though, on what kind of universe we live in, and maybe on such arcana as whether there's enough matter eventually to reverse the expansion of the universe, and the character of vacuum fluctuations. Those with a deep longing for life after death might, it seems, devote themselves to cosmology, quantum gravity, elementary particle physics, and, especially, transfinite arithmetic.
-- Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World
Sagan does not agree with Haldane, but I think "why not?"

New book day! After a couple of intense year's my partner's book is now out in the wild, UK & US publications.
'Escape From Model Land, how mathematical models can lead us astray and what we can do about it'
With models (financial, environmental, public heath etc) so influential in our lives this entertainingly written book is really important for modellers themselves and decision makers increasingly reliant on models.

What issue could there be? These are official numbers, and no one there is able to confirm or disprove. 😉
@Pat
And all this presuming that the Chinese numbers are true, right?

What are the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics? And what, exactly, is fundamental physics? How important is it? I gave a talk about all that, and here's the video:
Plus, I give a quick intro to the Standard Model of general relativity. Instead of just waving my hands about curved spacetime, I explain Einstein's equation.
Slides are here:
