Share & Discuss Random Physics & Math News: Where to Start?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the appropriate forum for sharing and discussing random physics and math news. Participants clarify that only mainstream science published in accepted publications is allowed, and questions or discussions must include citations from these sources. There is a query about whether content from arXiv is acceptable, but the original poster later finds the relevant information in the forum rules, expressing support for posting news from acceptable sources.

Okay, I will take a look at the rules. Does this include stuff from arxiv or does it actually have to be published?

edit: nevermind I found it under the rules.

I do think that news in acceptable sources should definitely be posted.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
