Twitter Copies Page. My Twitter page started off as an ideas sounding board where I tweeted random thoughts, before more interaction occured - after all it's supposed to be a social networking site. I copied and pasted some tweets from it onto here for a blog that is in the works (starting soon). Also some tweets are copied here just because they are interesting to keep. Updated May 1st 2013

Countdown to the Quote of the Month 1: This idea gives weight to a popular theme that can be grasped if you use many of them. 30 April
Countdown to the Quote of the Month 2: It goes beyond something we know, in the world of physics, to 11 of them 29 April
Countdown to the Quote of the Month 3: The interpretation of the time axis in 1 theory, for the event of this, suggests it is common place. 28 April
Astrophysics + cosmology is about in the middle. I like the broad spectrum of astronomy to pure physics, with all the other things... 27 April
tell u what, just knowing about planets, stars + space is much easier but does it have the same intellectual bite as pure physics? 27 April
+ that if u knew, what it knew about u, the idea wld automatically cancel itself out b4 u found any more. It double bluffed the bluffer. 27 April
On my website, yrs ago, I had an idea that QM was just a scientific way of looking at the world thro the eyes of a game of poker. 27 April
I don't think really that, being a sceptic (scepchick) is a bad thing but to sprinkle it with 'I acknowledged this completely' sometimes. 27 April
so at that point, one must stop + think, this surely is real, is it not? (+ don't call me Shirley, it's Claire). It's all about balance. 27 April
interjection (Science + art the theme runneth throughout my tweets also) a continuous loop of being doubtful of the doubts? 27 April
cancellation. Ask, what if there was 27 April
Juts going back to the doubt theme a few mins ago, what if it was the case of doubting the doubter? Sceptic of the Sceptical. That's like 27 April
If u look at the world through science + art u have a 3 dimensional view of how things work. It's like wearing sunshades, but not. 27 April
Change of subject. I think science + art are almost the same. It's a universal theme throughout my website. It's like a stereogram. 27 April
Doubt (in the correct dose) is the best way 2 go. Lots of doubt + careful thinking, only later, can u fall in the garden pond (it was dark) 27 April
so, just when u think it's all going hunky dory, the best thing 2 do is stop + ask at least once, or more: R u COMPLETELY sure? 27 April
Ever get the thinking that there are certain things you can never be completely convinced about? I'm a sceptic of most things. 27 April

what i meant was, I'll continue to get my legs back the way they where. I used 2 wear shorts + t shirts (sporty) + loved showing the pins 23 April
I'm very lucky to have a good figure. I used to wear short all the time. Then i stopped, this will continue when legs are sorted as + when. 23 April
@6_tailed_comet Interesting. This summer I'm 2 make sure my legs r tanned + toned 4 shorts (I don't need 2 loose weight as I'm trim/slim) 23 April

2 minds thinking about the same prblm. 1 wrote + symbolic, the other diagrammatic. Schwinger wears the suit - Feynman wears the T shirt 23 April
Feynman walks to the blackboard in front of his students +chalks out the 1st ever diagram explaining quantum electrodynamics... 23 April
He walks past a colleague called Julian Schwinger, (Julian holds the latest physics books teaming with long monologues of numbers) 23 April
+ while the sound of 50's music plays in the background a young man called Richard Feynman walks into the entrance of a university 23 April
How do we do this, what do we use to do it with? A really interesting idea called quantum electrodynamics was being tossed about. 23 April
Setting the Scene: 50's America (like Mad Men but with science), just after the war + the minds of the young scientists teaming with ideas.. 23 April

1) Cross ref learning -graphs + wrote in a subject acquisition 2) Cross ref thinking - linking separate subjects.e.g analogy. Both different 19 April
In physics, there r areas that use graphs 2 represent a function or equation. The cross linking between both could b re-enforced. 19 April

It was Edwin Hubble a US astronomer, who got the difference between emission + reflection theory. The scattering of light of emission effect 13 April
More on Iris. This Nebula is in the Caldwell catalogue - loads of nebulae, galaxies + bright star clusters in list created 4 amateur astros 13 April
As with life, in this months quote, you have to take the rough with the smooth http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html #fractalgeometry #mandelbrot 13 April
Being 1,300 light-yrs away, the Iris Nebula is near the Mira-type variable star called T Cephei + close to Beta Cephei or #Alphirk. 13 April
Termed a Caldwell object, the Iris Nebula or NGC 7023, is a bright reflection nebula. At mag +6.8 it's quite bright + shiny. #Nebula 13 April
Its microscopic particles are carbon, nickel + iron, where its nickel + iron r aligned with the galactic magnetic field causing polarization 13 April
Rading about the frequency spectrum of reflection nebula like the Iris Nebula. Stars nearby can't ionize its gas but scatters its dust light 13 April
I've just changed a setting on my stereo(Marantz) amp(Ion Obelisk) using my new Hoover(2300W) just by induction.Went past unit + it changed. 1 April

V quickly, Wolf–Rayet star is massive star, 20 solar masses, shedding itself a lot as a stellar wind, (like our Sun but more) #WolfRayet 1 April
when compared to Alpha Centauri, α Cen A. u'll c it at 5 degrees north of the celestial equator, sitting happily, like stars do...#Arcturus 1 April
The star of Arcturus is quite near us at 36.7 light yrs or 11.3 parsecs away. it sits in the celestial equator being the 3rd brightest star 1 April
We're talking an orange giant star that used up all its hydrogen. It will keep shedding it self then become a white dwarf. #Arcturus 1 April
After that Boötes says hi (well not literally) in the herdsman. Being 4th brightest star in the sky, Arcturus is here at vis mag of −0.04 1 April
This is an interesting star because of its spectrum range. Namely, massively bright emission lines then a complete drop into dark bands. 1 April
Later in constellation Vela, is a mag star system at +1.7 called Gamma-2 Velorum. 1 of the brightest stars in the sky. #Gamma2Velorum 1 April
This star sheds lots of mass as stellar wind, that can be detected in wavelengths of the non-visible ranges like radio + X-ray. #astronomy1 April
I actually like this star because of it's range in ultraviolet. The term bolometric luminosity refers to it being 500,000 times than our sun 1 April
In a visual sense, this star is12,500 more powerful than our Sun. Because of its blue appreance it's in the ultraviolet range. #ZetaPuppis 1 April
it has a surface temp of 42,000 K, being 22.5 solar masses. This blue supergiant is 1 of the brightest stars in the sky. #ZetaPuppis 1 April
It's constellation Puppis that there is a bright star called Zeta Puppis, Naos, a spectral class of O4If, its quite warm. #astronomy 1 April

1 star that's slightly above infrared range + over Arcturus, along with Betelgeuse, is R Doradus, as another 'bright' star. #infrared 19 March
Add to this its bolometric range, which is its infrared correcting for absolute magnitude + its total becomes 80 times that of our Sun. 19 March
The is because it is based in the infrared range, around the J band mag of about -2.2, which, for e.g is only slightly less than Betelgeuse 19 March
with emission lines. Although this is quite an obvious occurrence in red giants it makes its visual luminosity 110 times more than our Sun! 19 March
being a type K1.5 IIIpe orange giant, Arcturus has been classed as an oddity because of its weird emission spectrum , namely jam packed 19 March
Arcturus is 1 of the brightest in the celestial equator + 4th brightest star 2 c. If u compare it to Alpha Centauri, it's brighter. 19 March

equator region! Its axis of rotation from us Earthly beings makes it look a bit like a fried egg at inclination around 87.°7 ± 0°4. 14 March
The poles of oddly shaped, spinning quite fast, star called, Alpha Ophiuchi, have an avarage temperature of about 1,840 K more than its 14 March
polar radius so its shape ends up as an oblate spheroid. Bloody fast star is that. It gets worse + its about its poles. 14 March
that it doesn't break itself up in the process. Quite amazing. All this spinning creates an equatorial bulge, which is large compared to its 14 March
Alpha Ophiuchi A rotates quite fast with a projected rotational velocity of 240 km. It spins so quick that it's surprising #AlphaOphiuchi 14 March
Its primary has a mass of about 2.4 times the mass of our Sun. its 2ndry is a main sequence star generating energy by thermonuclear fusion. 14 March

Then Aldebaran says hi! It's a very big red star in constellation Taurus..Has an apparent magnitude of 0.87 - BRIGHT! #Aldebaran 9 March
The orbiting star might be a white dwarf. The primary is an odd shape so in this context, the 3rd Kepler law gets thrown out of the window 9 March
What is it? Regulus A, a binary of bluey whiteness + main sequence which is quite niftily being orbited by a star of around 0.3 solar masses 9 March
Just to interject, next yr is 2014 + in March, would u know it, a main belt asteroid 163 Erigone, is to occult the Regulus!. #Erigone 9 March
Look out for Regulus in constellation Leo. Bright star about 77.5 light yrs away, being a multiple of 4 stars into 2 pairs.#Regulus 9 March
I am getting better at it. Iam workking on it. All to the good.... 8 March
is using a hook method. So music is the hook. It might be something else, like a term or even a well known event or idea. 8 March
So for example, there are 3 facts, then there r connections between them+n ew ideas form after. Only after can they click. The familiarity 8 March
Facts r more accessible to wider audience than thinking, but if u get the 'rhythm' right, the thinking gets into the mix well too. 8 March
Sometimes I have so many ideas that I have to tame my brain in order to do step by step thinkings required for instigating facts. 8 March
So, I jhave affectively wipped them all up ;-) (hang on i need my wip) 8 March
Then you all get whipped up into the cosmic storm of space and all its wonders. Really ace way to lean a few things + think about them 8 March
The facts are then revised, boiled down to be simple bites or easy chunks to learn. The music carries away the facts, the facts carry the 8 March
The questions are the countdowns. The facts are then set with the answers. The embedding is ideas within facts AND the music is the hook! 8 March
The 1st thing I do is make sure i know the 'facts'. I then figure out what could be a question (about 3). Answer that b4 the question is set 8 March
I've used some education practices from my job, like 'embedding' + into my quotes. the tangles r there with facts, ideas + familiar hooks 8 March
but I enjoy incorporating my thinking into + around the facts. Some loosely constructed of course. All there to make you think! 8 March
So on my quotes pg, 4 e.g I'll make sure the facts r clear, copy/paste any difficult words but ideas + thinking my own. Takes me ages. #huh 8 March
Just to be clear, I often copy + paste words for spelling. I don't<- copy + paste ideas - http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html #space #ideas 8 March

it's possible 2 capture what we have already done with fusion or antimatter then boxing it up 4 a later date only 2 mess about with it. 3 March
It's not even remotely possible to hold onto an event that is a unstable as an exchange as conservation of energy. It's like saying 3 March
Its says in 1 of my physics text books that physics is the study of energy. Really, all things r is just energy, frozen as mass or in a flux 3 March

BBC Star Gazing Live next then. Emphasis put on kids + young people being interested in astronomy. Science past + future #bbcstargazinglive 3 Jan
A planet like the Moon is a commodity of all sorts. To get a lunar lab for experimentation is a step up from one in orbit. A gigantic jump. 2 Jan
Using all available tech, it can't b that difficult 2 get a colony on the Moon. At least, a start in establishing a larger human footprint. 2 Jan

I'm pleased Obama is back. My delayed reaction due 2 space-time contortion caused by gravitational pull of #Obama's charisma. 9 Nov
Do you know what a great analogy wld b that could explain what those last few tweets here really mean ? Space Soup. #InterstellarMedium 7 Nov
So u could say - by asking what goes on in-between subjects can give us focus on how things started. Boundaries are paramount. 7 Nov
The #primordialnucleosynthesis of elements focus on a formation of stable nuclei of a heavy isotope of hydrogen - deuterium. 7 Nov
that by studying this medium, it's like knowing the way the early universe created its elements, which is called primordial nucleosynthesis 7 Nov
lower densities. Most #interstellar medium is made up of gas, with the main one composed of hydrogen. What is interesting is 7 Nov
create thermal pressures + the denser areas are mostly in molecular form + were there is heat, ionised matter occurs creating 7 Nov
The density of the matter + temperature are also part of it's makeup. Motions that are turbulent, along with magnetic fields
The 3 distinguishing areas within the #InterstellarMedium are the forms of matter that include, molecular, ionic + atomic types. 7 Nov
So, it includes dust, gas + cosmic rays. There is also a form of electromagnetic radiation there called the interstellar radiation field. 7 Nov
on stars + planets, like focusing on Earth + space, but it's good 2 ask, what's happening in the space in between. #Interstellarmedium 7 Nov
A bit like the Earth's Atmosphere, the Interstellar medium is what goes on in between stars in a galaxy. Often much if focused 7 Nov

but it's also the phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, such as the cosmic background radiation. #astronomy 26 Oct
Astronomy is the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology + motion of celestial objects + formation of the universe. #astronomy 26 Oct
Not many ppl know this but, laser altimetry and stereo image analysis has been used to measure the topography of the Moon. 26 Oct
-cont, I meant later tonight, not now! Gee, do you think I am that obsessed with physics? OK, maybe just a bit, a qubit #physics #qubit 25th Oct

Get school kids(ones uninterested in science) to SING their answers in class with mic, on stage etc to their favourite tune. The X Answer 24 Oct
science, such is life. 24 Oct
Science is the underlying epitome of just about everything but often spurned. It's so easy to ignore yet so powerful when utilised, such is 24 Oct
There is an extraordinary dance between nitrogen + oxygen + the speed at which light is emitted from each to produce the various colours. 22 Oct
- and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state. As the solar wind collides, they become ionized or excited 22 Oct
Auroras r emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron - 22 Oct
The Aurora Borealis is caused by colliding energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere called the thermosphere. 22 Oct
Space is the place where stars, planets and galaxies are seen in a live show called astronomy (+ in your backyard to boot) 22 Oct
If u think current theme on #RocketPropulsion is on the Up this month http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html wait until next month - will be above all others 21 Oct
I'm half tempted to get my short tube 3" Catadioptric Telescope out as so clear- my Russian 6"Tal 2 is under garage junk but still tempted. 21 Oct

@Exoplanetology I've nearly finished reading 'Exoplanets + Alien Solar Systems' a good book by spectroscopy/astrophysicist Dr Tahir Yaqoob 20 Oct
So scale outside previous assumptions about how gravity + mass interact, creates a paradox much like Black Holes breaking down Relativity. 20 Oct
Dark Energy, accelerating universal expansion, uses negative pressure that does not influence gravitational interaction between masses. 20 Oct
Up^ there with the quotes http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html 20 Oct
- if it was, we might not even be here to ask it! 20 Oct
If any of these variables changes just slightly, the inevitable question would be to ask, how different would our universe be and - 20 Oct
If any of these variables changed slightly, it could b a very different ordering system of what it means 2 say 'What is beyond our Universe? 20 Oct
Cosmic Microwave Background measurements say the universe is nearly flat, were its mass/energy density must equal to its critical density. 20 Oct
The Standard model of cosmology says dark energy makes up 73% of total mass-energy of the universe that is found by using a redshift method. 20 Oct
So b 4 this, all I know is radial velocity of stars reflex orbit about its barycentre. How to find an #exoplanet but I need a cuppa tea 1st. 18 Oct
The #AlphaCentauriB low signal 2 noise ratio finding makes u think about a delicacy of accurate data. Think universe, think big. #exoplanet 18 Oct
- then when I've done that, I'll write an #astronomy + #exoplanet book called: 'Star, Planet, Nebulae Spangled, Rainbow Coloured Brilliance' 18 Oct
Is wondering if planet Earth might screech to a halt nxt wk, then go into backwards orbit, back in2 summer. #NotMuchToAsk 17 Oct
+ in the space + astronomy news this week, 1 person breaks the sound barrier + another 1 breaks the embargo. #FelixBaumgartner #exoplanet 16 Oct
The Alpha Centauri folks might already be on their way to see us. Puts a new meaning on Starbucks. #alphacentauri #exoplanet #Starbucks 16 Oct
@Betelgeuse10 certainly is - mass is volume times density. It might be same density but different volume (size) 16 Oct
Irony. Dr Tahir's Yaqoob's Exoplanet + Alien Solar Systems book(c pre tweets other day) I'm reading + reviewing. Decent book. #exoplanets 16 Oct
@shiroboshi that's an option. Have ignored them for years. They look like a load of numbers on rows + columns like a bus timetable. 16 Oct
If keep getting sent data about Near Earth Asteroids by someone, as I do, what do you actually do? #NearEarthAsteroids #NEA #astronomy 16 Oct
- it's got significance, like a 5.9 sigma levels of certainty existing for the #Higgs boson but without the Standard Model issued at the LHC 16 Oct
Just got a load of Near Earth asteroids data from John Fletcher again. Not being alarmist, but 16 Oct
A Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen and helium mixed with other ionized gases. Sounds like a bar drink after all that lot. 15 Oct
If you are lucky, most nebulae form from a gravitational collapse of gas within the interstellar medium (ISM). If you are not, duck. 15 Oct
Nebulae belong to four main groups, H II regions, Planetary, Supernova remnant + Dark. The Dark types need not contain cocoa. 15 Oct
On that note again, back to Dr Tahir's Exoplanet book(c previous tweets other day) I'm reading + reviewing. Already decent book. #exoplanets 15 Oct

#Science, #physics, #astronomy + #art - are the result, of the attempt, to understand the universal predicament in its final terms. 24 Jul
Sometimes t most interesting go with most difficult. Initially, nature doesn't give away secrets that easily. U ever read Bourbaki Math? 24 Jul
e,g Looking at my collection of science books (about 94) the chunky set ones are the physics+chemistry. You could build a house with them. 24 Jul
There's so much interest in studying #Space #Astronautics #Astronomy #Astrophysics #Physics that even as an amateur it's a full time job! 24 Jul
cont pre tweet - I don't say this much but, I'm VERY honoured 2 have the followers I have. Great group of ppl including lots of physicists. 23 Jul
Saw a tweet few days ago, but can't find, saying every1 shld have a physicist in their life (followers list). You shld c the amount in mine. 23 Jul

In edu there's every reason 2 think of #scienceandart connections, after all, #astronomy is the art of the science of looking at the stars.. 19 Jul
..so scalar is size, to be right, but as means to an end, whereas a vector has direction, a journey that goes somewhere as a means 19 Jul
Yrs ago on my site, I say 2 be right is scalar, good but stops but being interesting, tho not always right, is vector has direction, goes on 19 Jul
same reason #CAE + #CAD diagrams have a place in engineering. Art to seeing when flipping thro engineering textbooks 2 look at the diagrams. 19 Jul
Art + physics r almost identical in that they make u c a 3D visual representation of how the universe works e,g via mental rotation. 19 Jul
Aurora Borealis occurs in high altitude atmosphere the thermosphere below the exospehere. Atmospheric tides occur below in Mesosphere level 18 Jul
mesosphere is greatly unknown. Because of various systems interlocking, all the layers are dependant on each connection eternal or internal 18 Jul
apart from the well known Noctilucent Clouds that are an effect happening at mesosphere level, but dynamic effects to other levels from 18 Jul
You can see the top part of the dance the Aurora Borealis usually straight to local, never a step down in the in-between mesosphere 18 Jul
So I was right that various space weather effects like Sun spots affect local weather with some mingling of layers of atmospheric dances 18 Jul
Trail behaviour of particles left behind after collision inferring #HiggsBoson - liken this to knowing about a snail via only its trail. 18 Jul
A few mnths ago I stopped at roundabout 2 give way+none of t cars giving way moved either+each thinking other cars wld go 1st. Like economy. 18 Jul
The other thing, a minute seeding of atmosphere by microbes + viruses left on human equipment on previous Mars missions. All system connect. 17 Jul
What will space exploration be like in a 100 years time? I have just thought about the under the surface water ocean of Europa. 17 Jul

Am set 4 Rover 2 land. 30 days, 5 hrs, 1 min + 2 secs from now - we have not lift off but land down #Mars #Curiosity #Don'tForgetUrSlippers 7 Jul
However, the #Higgs discovery is great news, now that is certain (well at about an attained confidence level of the 5-sigma point at least).4 Jul
t wld b good if more ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ umph was put into space exploration, be it either manned, commercial or otherwise. Just a thought.4 Jul

Any one seen the Argos advert with the aliens playing tennis? I have never laughed so much in ny life. (apart from watching Billy Connolly) 28 June
Peston, your tie needs sorting. #BBCNews. 28 June
- and of course I was only joking in the last tweet WRT Tesco. Much looking forward 2 t event. Can learn lots of things. #Mars 27 June
@Astro_T_ thanks for favouriting of my 3 tweets. Appreciated muchly, loads. 27 June
is v MUCH looking 4ward 2 car-sized 1-ton rover #Curiosity landing on #Mars like big kid in a sweet shop. They shld have used my car 27 June
LOS. 25 June
Also not forgetting that includes finding new things too. That part is the best part but often resources are mostly directed at the former. 25 June
Astronomy is the ability 2 capture the same interstellar objects + events differently every time, more than 500 times + still be interested. 25 June
Did anybody get to drive out on the open roads during football last night? It's the best opportunity to try out electric cars. 25 June
Right. Try to invent a new colour. 25 June
- so cld team colour kit. The fairness of football a good science exercise. Is it scientific enough + fair 2 each player? I'm not convinced. 24 June
Changing colours on ad banner around football pitch cld wrongly distort players perception of depth + distance.Red advances, blue receides. 24 June
Instead of saying, 'God Saved The Queen', why can't they all say, 'Science Saved The Game' ? #Science #England #Football 24 June
The only thing, I wish there was as much enthusiasm 4 science, in all its form, as there is 4 sport. I'll never understand why there isn't. 24 June
I can only handle final games with football, any other + it's not 4 me. Now, the physics of football is a very different thing 24 June
Over 2 other account in about half an hr. I mean, come on, astronomy + football go 2gether, yes? 1 nil to Astronomy overytime tho. 24 June
@DrMRFrancis I'll see if i can match them up on2 my list (prob not as I have unusual taste) but might be! 24 June
onto another classic - 'Brave New World' Just superb another great from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds 24 June
@DClaphamFRAS I've played Thunder Child loads this month since it's this month quote on my site! I love it 2 but other tracks 2 24 June
Onto the Red Weed (Part 2) at 5 mins + 46 sec that goes to the 'jiggy' bit. Sounds like a background track to UK show Hustle. 24 June
..so onto the 1 of my top 3 <-- music tracks - Justin Hayward's Forever Autumn. Love the string section + modern arrangement 24 June
Well this is just ̶g̶r̶o̶o̶v̶y̶ weird. A music album about Martians but makes u want 2 dance + jig. That has just got 2 b something. 24 June

I created 'Countdown To The Quote Of The Month' up about this time last yr - a feeble attempt 2 throw few ideas together (again) 22 June
Theme is thunder. Choice of 2 songs, Leo Sayer's 'Thunder In My Heart' or Jeff Wayne's 'Thunder Child' from The War of the Worlds 22 June
Well, before months end, my attempt at putting together loosely constructed ideas with a theme each month http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html 22 June
Apparently yesterday was Solstastic. 21 June
@DClaphamFRAS hya Dave! It wasn't to do with trends TBH, I just tweeted what arrived in my head! Cheers anyway.. 21 June
#Mars and #space right at the top. Let's get there then. 21 June
The UK inflation rate has fallen to 2.8% + England got through 2 the quarter-finals. We just need a hotel on Mars next. 18 June
You know when we colonise Mars, will there be an instruction book on how to air your clean washing? 18 June
wants to be a space lady. Next best thing over at http://www.cthisspace.com 18 June
I've just heard a car chugg out on the road outside my house. What chance we have if can't get cars right, much less space programs? 18 June
+ just think of how many people will do the interesting research into the commercial side of - The Science of Everyday Space Flight. 18 June
cont - the clouds won't get in the way 2 c the stars but prob need 2 b out of the Suns rays 2 reduce extreme contrast. 18 June
Back to space flight - u wake up 2 the view of the Earths curvature + its atmosphere of sparkling hues never seen b4 until now. 18 June
How many ways can u understand science? Any way to understand science, example via art, is a better way, than limited ways. 18 June
I was tweeting about commercial space flight other day. Need 2 sort problems with funding. Make it an asset 2 our species. 17 June
So, what will the future hold in terms of commercial space flight or space hotels, this is the next big question to be addressed. 16 June
Ironically, the theme I chose this month for my 'Countdown to the Quote of the Month' idea, is thunder http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html 15 June
@BudgetAstro not much chance of me able 2 do that but if i was rich 1 day a large observatory and lecture theatre wld b on the cards at mine 15 June
Today I have a free day with virtually nothing planned. I could even go to Morrisons. I would rather fly a space ship though 15 June
@tttabata well, it's the physics of light and all the theories that surround it. Astronomy included! They are superb subjects 15 June
@KidzOutdoors thank you for the kindest words and the #FF Jane and Neil. One back to you both #FF! Cheers. 15 June
@tttabata Yes, thank you! Yours is still a good idea. I like science so much. I think my favourite area in physics is light. 15 June
@tttabata put it this way, my day job isn't anything like my interest/hobby. It's good that there are institutes like urs 15 June
@tttabata so it remains an interest but I still love it. Physics is my 1st choice. I have studied it as an autodidact. 15 June
@tttabata yes, I was about 7 in 1977. I grew up, didn't do well at school so wasn't clever enough to do science properly. 15 June
On my site, this mths 'Countdown To The Quote of the Month's theme is ̶l̶o̶v̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ thunder. http://www.cthisspace.com/quotes2.html 14 June
@tttabata I might have the paper mag still from about 1977/8 with Black Holes article in it, also lasers. It's strange what we remember... 14 June
I missed quite a lot of the #NuSTAR expedition ̶t̶o̶d̶a̶y̶ yesterday so wondered what happened. Will be catching up on that. 14 June
It's iffy, if describing Dark Matter, 2 use the flowery word of mysterious. Something like unknown - we know a don't know 13 June
If u look thru a Sun filter into an eye piece when viewing the Sun, make sure it's new. It might have flecks u don't want 13 June
Right, I'll shut up now. 13 June
orientation +rotation of fronts like puppets of political cells also included here. So things + systems with people. 13 June
had 2 log back in... was thinking about politicians+ prime ministers as fronts of organisations w no change in orientation 13 June
The idea I put in these last few tweets can be used in companies not just engineering or physics. Can be used anywhere. 13 June
- idea is if u only combine ideas their surface area r stagnant or still. Rotating increases surface area so more ideas. 13 June
the last word looks like it reads rational - it actually rotational. Rotate objects and ideas (different to combining) 13 June
Combine a di·a·met·ri·c scientific approach 2 ur working day. Logic. Clarity. Objective <-> Insight. Creative. Rotational 13 June
@ClaireCSmith It's wonderful that you were interested in an article about black holes in Scientific American at the age of about six. 13 June
@tttabata @SciAm it was Scientific American mag about Black Holes, that I 1st read about age 6, that got into science. memories! 12 June
I am very intrigued by the science of the unusual dynamics with regards to the recent UK weather. #floods. #meteorology 12 June

I had a great time last night (this morning) on line watching thec #VenusTransiton the other account. Now slightly tired 6 June
Countdown To The Quote 1:Its heat causes expansion into cooler air faster than sound would travel in the same cool air. 31 May
Countdown To The Quote 2: The sound created by it, is from increased pressure + temperature, by rapid expansion of air. 30 May
Previous tweet I incorrectly tweeted 2 instead of 1. No reason ends cannot be 2 or more - think of #non-Euclidean #RiemannHypothesis #Zeta 30 Ma

Space+astronomy was never so good when some 1 actually asks me, if we travelled there, would we need a lunch box? 30 May
What a wonderful place to be, on this Earth, travelling at great velocities, through the vast unknown of #space itself. 29 May
On twitter (or elsewhere) there's a superb continuum of streaming news about #astronomy #space #physics #bbcstargazing 29 May
Space + astronomy r great subjects, even if cloudy u can imagine the night sky(or day) at it's best teaming with events 29 May
-unique events more accepted in astronomy, like stray asteroids, than in living things, stray abilities. #makesyouthink 28 May
Y is it often considered that if something or some1 is outstanding or different then it can't b plausible as a natural state? 28 May

@rincon_p and star gazing astronomy ones ! 23 May
@genejm29 hya yes, it has been. Same to you Gene, hope u r well. Cheers. 23 May
@KarenLMasters as there r many professional amateurs, e.g. Live cld have meant linking up to their observatories +work 23 May
@KarenLMasters yes, I liked the prgm, but thought as well as, an outreach in UK idea might increase interest 4 layman. 23 May
Note however, as light takes time 2 reach ur scope+ eyes it means generally u r observing the past, better than nothing! 23 May
2nd best, buy ur own telescope, go outside on clear night + set up 2 c the wonder of the sky as live as it could ever be 23 May
I thought that the title Stargazing Live wld imply just that, a live programme or some live aspect about #bbcstargazing 23 May
this would have been easy as Nature watch does this already. Also more programmes at a better hour for children to see 23 May
with actual live star gazing. Maybe various live outreach events that would also increase probability of clear skies - 23 May
talking of doing live star gazing, as per the yr before, I would have been good 2 see this yrs prgm #bbcstargazinglive - 23 May
In fact, I think I prefer my 3" Catadioptric than my 6" Russian Tal 2 (can take catadioptric out for star gazing easily) 23 May
looked as it moved pas the centre of the field of view. It was as live as u could ever get it with a cheap Catadioptric 23 May
on what looked like the central clear view only (chromatic aberration?) but it didn't detract from how amazing the Moon 23 May
I remember in the 90's I just put in the highest mag eyepiece then loosely stacked on the next highest. I saw the Moon 23 May
thing 2 remember is that it's quite affordable 2 get a good observing view out of cheap telescope. No need 4 fancy stuff 23 May
2 the live feel of just observing. Even my 3" Catadioptric over my other 6" reflector, has reasonable effect, so the main 23 May
Having three telescopes myself, I am not concerned with any technology or optical accuracy as it doesn't change or add 23 May
as long as the image is reasonably clear, or you can make out a shape, or at least distinguish stars from planets. 23 May
So, unless you r doing astro imaging, you don't need buy a very expensive telescope. The live factor is easily captured 23 May
the viewing is live (the best aspect of astronomy I think, is much like live TV) it's almost as if you can touch the sky 23 May
It is very easy to but a cheap telescope to see the night sky, and as real as using the naked eye. The best aspect is 23 May
No one can change the universe but can always do a bit of astronomy on it and about it, which can't be bad. 22 May
Think about things in terms of probabilities but don't forget to wait for the good times to roll, like a dice. 22 May
Logic says best to be prepared for events that sometimes cannot be understood nor answered + 2 enjoy the journey. 22 May
it's like the critical energy density and gravity of the universe - it needs to be just that otherwise, well who knows... 22 May
but not any less that, you do the most stupidest things, and not any more that you never do anything at all. Balance 22 May
It's probably best to be just spend your life being slightly deluded into thinking most of the time it's going to be ok 22 May
so ,it made me think about not just quantum uncertainty but also classical level of real life events - very scary, v real 22 May
and that we do not know. That's the uncertain part. The certain part is a chance to make a difference - 22 May
The reason why I have tweeted this is because, science, life and the universe is more than we think it is, much more 22 May
because at the end of the daythat is all we have got. 22 May
which is, to be in a universe or a world with all the emotion+feeling just enough to inspire us to get through the day 22 May
but at same time, we as humans would best be advised to just get on with life as if it had appeared to be exacttly that, 22 May
In the real world, the universe (quantum too) does not owe anyone or thing a favour - it is without emotion + feeling 22 May
unpredictability. It can also b unfair. Reason why I deleted the tweet was it seemed negative but wasn't the intention. 22 May
Basically I tweeted that life (a bit like quantum uncertainty) is like, well, uncertain. Also full of risks and 22 May
pinhead in front of car headlight 22 May
cont - tweet on 'speck in front of light' - If still doesn't get idea behind #solareclipse nor #transitofvenus just say 22 May
If anyone asks you what is the #transitofvenus just say it's like the #solareclipse but instead of the Moon, it's Venus.21 May
I would advice wearing shoes that vibrate when they detect steps/obstacles whilst walking in a dark garden stargazing. 21 May
A Don't Do This At Home Astronomy Tip:(smear black shoe polish on binocular eye pieces) look directly at the Sun at all. 21 May
Cbut I could get out my 3" Catadioptric instead meanwhile my 3rd scope I call the Hand Held Captain Cook, sits on cabinet 21 May
Was thinking of making my largest of three scopes, a Russian Tal 6" telescope, the focal point of the #transitofvenus 21 May
So, I've got 4 telescopes, where one of them is made of cake, to view various happenings going on in the next few weeks. 21 May
It'll b another superb #astronomy marathon in early June, #venustransit + #iss passes over UK. Better than Olympics! 21 May
So after the great #annulareclipse + various #sunspot sightings + photos there is some more astronomy 4 all to enjoy 21 May
Woooooooooshhhhh!! 20 May
Solar flares produce low 2 high frequencies of radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, x-rays+ gamma rays. 20 May
Whereas the magnitude is based on the Sun's visual output only but plays a part in working out its apparent brightness 20 May
So the solar constant includes all wooping wavelengths of solar electromagnetic radiation and not just the visible light 20 May
on a plane perpendicular to the rays of distance of one astronomical unit - a similar distance from Sun to Earth(ish) 20 May
The solar constant flux density is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area + be incident 20 May
cont- this is y the Sun + its light it such an important aspect in our life. Not much emphasis is put on type of light. 20 May
Sunlight is a total frequency spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ranging from infrared, visible + ultraviolet light. 20 May
The Sun's dynamo is self-exciting creating a direction of the field reversing itself about every 11 yrs, a sunspot cycle 20 May
The Sun's internal + external layers create a type of magnetic dynamo generating its unique magnetic field we know about 20 May
The Sun is mainly plasma + magnetic fields, not solid but is often mistaken for being so because of it's immense power. 20 May
Astronomy is 4 EVERYONE-1st a science, sometimes an art, talking point + thinking subject #bbcstargazing #bbcskyatnight 16 May
so meaning actually talking about how new advances in technology often do so by, 4 e.g. a hybrid system (joining ideas) 15 May
By by product, I meant combining CryoSat with space exploration (seeing Earth in different way) as evolutionary advantage 15 May
The CryoSat mission has a by product role (like heat by product of light) that makes us c our own endeavours as shocking 15 May
The problem is when there are blurred boundaries, like CryoSat mission, by evolutionary changes of our view of priority 15 May
Astronomy + space seems to, superbly _ rightly so, churn out loads of new ideas + theories (also military technology).15 May
Time:15th May 2012. Advanced civilisation: Humans. Planet: Earth. Latest invention: Android. Last trip to Moon: 1969. 15 May

Just use a tube of #smarties 2 discover the elusive Higgs Boson thereby completing the hardest puzzle-the Standard Model 11 May
'smarties are oblate spheroids with a minor axis of about 5 mm (0.2 in) and a major axis of about 15 mm (0.6 in).'- wiki 11 May
so the laws of physics and hence science have all the answers until you get to the sweet shop to buy a tube of #smarties 11 May
An infinite awe of a cycle of science, by the beauty of space, the universe leads us a way to the sense of the majestic. 8 May
Did I just say astronomy twice in that last tweet? Yes. That's because it's so good I had to name it twice. . 7 May
I am onto just loving good science, astronomy, physics, astronomy, art, music, it's all great, it is honest. .7 May
I'll watch #thskyatnight on catch up TV. Apparently it was good. Last wk I hardly watched any TV. An increasing trend. 7 May
I often think of Abba music as 70's spacey and all ethereal - quite technical for its day too. 7 May
@ClaireCSmith - According to director @alex_freeman it was a piece called 'Blue Planet' by Terry Devine-King. Cheers. 6 May
Apparently the universe could be saddle shaped, nothing new, but cld be thought of as due to bottom heat molding the plastic.6 May

Last few tweets about wonder or interest in science since childhood - does any one have the same thoughts that stay with you all your life? 8:09 AM - 8 Feb
Mid 1970's I took interest in my mum's crystal ornament on windowsill. On clear midday, it refracted the Sun's light - enough to wonder. 6:22 AM - 8 Feb
1st interest in physics of light was reading Scientific American Mag at my Aunt + Uncles house, about 1977/8.Took it home -never put it down 6:14 AM - 8 Feb
I was about 7 yrs old, 1 v cold sunny day in garden, my breath turned in2 ice crystals seconds after hitting air, then clinked on the ground 6:10 AM - 8 Feb
It's not always an obvious thing but, Art + Physics r v similar. Look at a text + popular book + see how they merge 2 encompass a gestalt. 11:51 PM - 6 Feb
Just 2 b on the serious side, physics + bubbles do go 2gether. An interesting overlap, though not fully researched like Neutron Star physics 11:41 PM - 6 Feb

Steady State theory is finite in that it ties up starts + ends, continuously balancing out the Perfect Cosmological Principle. 19 Jan

Is someone thinks dust, clouds and gases are boring, get them to look closely at a Nebula in the night sky and they won't think that again. 15 Jan
You don't need to create a worm hole to jump in time - the best time machine is to look at stars and see a history go right into your eyes. 15 Jan
It's a good way to think of a Black Hole as the opposite of an explosion - a reverse blast typically in slow motion that warps space-time. 15 Jan
Astronomy doesn't stop when the Sun comes out - in fact it starts again with the journey of discovery about what the Solar Astronomy is. 15 Jan
It can be:know what the subject is and study it differently via different books or get to know the subject with just one book - or both! 15 Jan
At star parties there are different scopes that are used to look at the same object. It's a great journey to go through each one per object. 15 Jan

Other applications 4 art in science- CAD (computer aided design) illustrations 4 schools. Art + computers 4 science engineering. 26 Nov
but not only that, art becomes a function in it self, of learning, more than a hobby - an element of discovery needed in science. 25 Nov
How do we know about the biology of the eye? A cross section diagram shows the form + function of each process through art in sci 25 Nov
Diagrams + scientific illustration eg of art in science share a common understanding in many text books + popular science books. 25 Nov
Some people c the world through art, some science, why not both? Not all subjects r in a box with no relation 2 other subjects. 25 Nov
wonders if they Lepton the wrong bandwagon about Neutrinos violating relativistic velocities. 24 Nov
Right, this is VERY hard- I'v been reading about Cherenkov radiation for past day + combined it with my knowledge of electromagnetic theory. 22 Nov
So, is it that Neutrino's r a different cookie, un hindered by gravity/mass, almost jumping the mainstream avenues of common understanding. 22 Nov

outcome is change in internal structure of system, whether it changes that system in same way is unsure, just a analogy 4 energy expenditure 21 Nov
now compare 1st 2 ways in wich that system can internally changed by say, quantative easing (more dosh) with push of more supply+ demand. 21 Nov
Suppose the recession is 1st law of closed thermodynamic system-it's change in energy=dif between energy as heat + work done on surroundings 21 Nov
Tonight it's crystal clear+ atmosphere layers reasonably consistent making it a good opportunity to see detailed areas better. A free show! 20 Nov

V good prgm to @steveslater1987. Might just quote Professor John Zarnecki in nxt months quote, will credit 'Destination Titan'+ Steve Slater 29 Sep
music by Brian Eno with the surface ot Titan which makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. That must mean it good programme. 29 Sep
data arrives + all was well. Good music 2 set off celebration+reflection after relief suggesting that si what science is all about in t end- 29 Sep
-signal not arrived on time yet, so loads of suspense (a bit like Dr Who but without the monster). Interetsing to see what happens next.... 29 Sep
Jean-Pierre Lebreton starts the twist with a signal being picked up, maybe t gloom was worth t wait. Weird, it's like the probe was alive 29 Sep
something amusing here, the probe looks like its taking a drag out of a fag!(yuck!) Perhaps it sensed that the projects wasn't going well.AI 29 Sep
slight criticism: try not to make out doing experiments as too hard an painfull too much as school pupils will b put off practical science- 29 Sep
Dr Ralph Lorenz saying BBC lighting not working on project with other things going wrong. Me thinks limitations makes u more creative yes? 29 Sep
Professor John Zarnecki explains v well the surface science which invloves an instrument that has 9 different sensors like giant probe - 29 Sep
Professor John Zarnecki explains v well the surface science which invloves an instrument that has 9 different sensors like giant probe - 29 Sep
guy did splashdown dynamics 4 his PhD, liquid methane on Titan stuff + wanted 2 know if t probe would hit properly. Chemistry + physics - 29 Sep

"Perception is real, even if it's not reality" - Edward de Bono. Look at all t last few tweets and decide which side of the paradox is true. 4 Sep

Cats and dogs licking up water. 28 May
Idea. Count Down To The Quote. You will get it. Today ill start with a countdown tweet. They nearer the quote the later the count 28 May
Roger Penrose is one of my favorite physicists so its just ad well his ideas are brought toward to answer this puzzle. A great ay to 27 May
Interestingly, it could be assumed that a specific psychology is used to understand the physics of the mind. Cognition is key it. 27 May
That last text is going toward Roger Penrose territory - meant any place. The mind is important factor regardless of which method 27 May
Pertaining to mind, the saying u r on my mind, on supposes physical. U r of mind denotes any place of mind. What other things r a 25 May
Can't think of new word but we know it's still in the eye of the beholder. The science lies underneath regardless of the outcome. 22 May
So what i am asking is, y would a flower be more beautiful than a car? Don't like the word beauty-need different 1 21 May
Beauty objective but fancying someone more subjective? Beauty in form of biology, psychology important function, but miss clues in physics 21 May
Beauty objective but fancying someone more subjective? Beauty in form of physics is important function- miss clues in biology, psychology. 21 May
back 2 subject of beauty(MayQuote of month on my site)has scientific+asthetic function.Always wondered y I find certain guys more fanciable 20 May
uses mobile 4 talking only 4 emergency, don't undertand y people r always talking on mobiles. Conatant talking is piontless-Net is bettter! 20 May
pointless using my mobile 4 talking, never talk on it + scrap t contact list, just use t internet, constellation map + weather apps. 20 May
Is thinking of having mobile implanted under skin, the cyborg overlords are here 2 stay. 19 May
so by some, never heard of, law of deduction, if mobile always in bag(like mine)then bag is strapped 2 head 2. Will everyobe follow suit? 19 May
thinks everyobe should use a strap on head 2 hold mobile IN like u would a bathroom shelf with soap in it on wall tilesSuction cup on 4head 19 May
has no become a head strapper (term i coined- using mobile phone so much, may as well strap it to the head) but still leaves phone in bag. 19 May
My website and twitter will still carry on, but adding a new angle in blog. The ideas more pronounced. 15 May
Is wondering whether to start a blog using ideas from twitter and website. Is currently thinking about this. 13 May
per unit difference of source is like increase in surface area(last tweets)of energy expenditure in variability then include e consumption. 11th May
Electric + hybrid cars work better in tandem with nuclear energy not coal/gas -so per unit difference of source maybe, not of consumption. 10th May
cont- fractals r about beauty of forms in space - trees, lungs, grass. Another example of a form working with its surroundings, psychology. 10th May
is thinking about why natural forms expend large amounts of energy on large surface areas, the brain 1 of many. A form of beauty perhaps. 10th May
How did u spend ur sat night? "well, you know getting soil out of my ornaments," 8 May

Shrinking boat is not: odd geometry, ST contraction, expansion/contraction due to temperature/water, scale change.
Another clue. It's not what you think, but it is what you think. Connection 2 physics/science obscured, but fundamental. 9:56 AM Jul 19th, 2009 via web
A clue. It's not<- 2 do with materials shrinking/expanding due 2 water. Only seen it once. Could b used 4 other ideas. 9:38 AM Jul 19th, 2009 via web
