>> Stop Press! August PubSci… is in August <<

A superluminal neutrino glitch* has occurred at PubSci Towers, resulting in today’s blog post giving the impression that August’s PubSci would take place on 19th July.

This is, of course, impossible as it would require faster-than-light travel to achieve (an idea so proposterous that the infinite monkey typing pool spontaneously all produced “Hahahahaha!” on their keyboards).

James Riordon will, quite naturally, be speaking at PubSci on 16th August 2023. As if further proof were needed, you can read the corrected blog post here.

It’s going to be another popular one, especially as James will be addressing the world-famous Royal Institution the following evening. To ensure you catch him at PubSci first, please book your place via Eventbrite. PubSci is always free to attend, but we can only run events with your support.

We suspect it’s no coincidence this late-night measurement error occurred while writing about James’ talk. Neutrinos were reported to have travelled faster than light in the OPERA experiment in 2011. It was later established that a loose cable was responsible for this anomaly – which is pretty much how I came to leave last month’s date in this month’s blog post!

Hope to see you on the 16th August

Richard
