I find so much comfort in thunderstorms.
It's like reuniting with an old friend after a long time.
It's like eating a warm cookie with a comfy sweater on Christmas.
It's like reading once again that book that made you fall in love with reading.
It's home.

the astrophysics students
dreaming of discoveries yet to be made
wonder at the vastness of the cosmos
long equations scrawled across graph paper
jwst images as your phone lockscreen
solving complex orbital mechanics problems
debating the nature of dark matter
studying relativity and gravitational waves
mind-bending thought experiments that change your way of thinking
stargazing on a clear night
seeing supernovas and black holes in your mind's eye
discovering new stars and planets
a drive to understand the fundamentals of our universe
related: physics, astronomy

Things my professors have said: chemistry edition
"a human is just a sack of water"
"I once heard one of our professors explain to another one how incredibly important physical chemistry is. The other one replied, 'Yes I know. But it's so boring'"
[draws a goat on the wipeboard]
"I thought to myself, 'god, I'm still so young and these people are building a hydrogen bomb next door!'"
"the alchemists were lonely people because they stank"
"look at this unit! Physicists make everything more complicated"
"hydrogen is that guy who does sports. Deuterium is the one who wishes he did"
"not a day goes by that something doesn't explode in this faculty. Our dearly departed professor [name] who blew himself up in his laboratory and died on the spot-"
"who here enjoys trigonometry?" [Several people raise their hands] "you're weird"
"generally speaking, you can't write one over zero or else everyone gets a stroke - so we're going to use these anti-stroke brackets"
"when I was a little kid I liked to play with mercury. You don't do that though!"
And my personal favorite:
"so many great inventions in science have been made because people dream - so, I encourage you all to dream every day"

11/29/23
I'm giving my undergrad senior thesis presentation this weekend and I'm feeling excited but so stressed! It is not nearly as polished as I had wanted it to be at this point, but it is what it is and I think I will pass. It's been hard to stay focused while other big parts of my life are really tumultuous and also I have COVID.
Reminders for myself and anyone else who needs them: you will get through this, things may change but that's okay, and it doesn't have to be good, it just has to be done.

Nicolaus Copernicus (Konstanty Laszczka, Polish sculptor)
Happy birthday, Nicolaus Copernicus!
Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 — May 24, 1543) is primarily known as an exceptional astronomer who formulated the true model of the solar system, which led to an unprecedented change in the human perception of Earth’s place in the universe. This great Pole, who is rightly included among the greatest minds of the European Renaissance, was also a clergyman, a mathematician, a physician, a lawyer and a translator. He also proved himself as an effective strategist and military commander, leading the defence of Olsztyn against the attack of the German Monastic Order of the Teutonic Knights. Later on, he exhibited great organizational skills, quickly rebuilding and relaunching the economy of the areas devastated by the invasion of the Teutonic Knights. He also served in diplomacy and participated in the works of the Polish Sejm.
Copernicus’ scientific achievements in the field of economics were equally significant, and place him among the greatest authors of the world economic thought. In 1517 Copernicus wrote a treatise on the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money. He noted that the“debasement of coin” was one of the main reasons for the collapse of states. He was therefore one of the first advocates of modern monetary policy based on the unification of the currency in circulation, constant care for its value and the prevention of inflation, which ruins the economy. In money he distinguished the ore value (valor) and the estimated value (estimatio), determined by the issuer. According to Copernicus, the ore value of a good coin should correspond to its estimated value. This was not synonymous, however, with the reduction of the coin to a piece of metal being the subject of trade in goods. The ore contained in the money was supposed to be the guarantee of its price, and the value of the legal tender was assigned to it by special symbols proving its relationship with a given country and ruler. Although such views are nothing new today, in his time they constituted a milestone in the development of economic thought.
Additionally Copernicus was not only a theorist of finance, but he was also the co-author of a successful monetary reform, later also implemented in other countries. It was Copernicus, the first of the great Polish economists, who in 1519 proposed to King Sigismund I the Old to unify the monetary system of the Polish Crown with that of its subordinate Royal Prussia. The principles described in the treatise published in 1517 were decades later repeated by the English financier Thomas Gresham and are currently most often referred to around the world as Gresham’s law. Historical truth, however, requires us to restore the authorship of this principle to its creator, for example through the popularization of knowledge about the Copernicus-Gresham Law.
