Big Prize for Quantum Spots

Poltroon University will soon host a lecture by Big Prize Laureate Dr. Professor Guss Badeen of the Swiss Federal Institute of Quantum Spot Studies in Outerlocken, Switzerland. Dr. Badeen began his work at the Soviet All-Union Agriculture and Artillery Institute in Pissov-on-Don, USSR. After the entertaining implosion of the Soviet Union, Academician Badeen made his way to Switzerland where he is now Emeritus Langweilig Professor of Quantum Agriculture. He will speak on the topic of “My Journey to Sweden with Quantum Spots.”

Admission is free but due to limited seating in the Alderaan auditorium, tickets will be required. Tickets can be obtained online at poltroon_univ.org/QSpot.

Poltroon University is located in Guapo, Arizona, adjacent to the scenic Desiccated Wasteland National Monument. Poltroon is a selective private illiberal arts institution serving the educational needs of junior varsity students. On campus visits are welcome.

Sabine Hossenfelder

Sabine Hossenfelder has become a bit of a star. She has been producing a regular YouTube video called “Science without the gobbledygook.” She is presently a researcher at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. She is a quantum physicist and mathematician with 1 million YouTube subscribers. Her videos are about topical quantum and particle physics with some cosmology thrown in. She brings up issues under debate in the physics community. It is very interesting and thought provoking.

It turns out that she has a very dry wit which I for one appreciate. Every episode she’ll get a phone call from a red desk phone with a mock voice on the other side talking about some off the wall subject. Sometimes it is Elon Musk griping about something. The production value of her programming is quite good because she has people helping with that. It all adds up to something interesting and amusing for we sciency people.
