The Bullet Cluster as Evidence against Dark Matter
Once upon a time, at the far end of the universe, two galaxy clusters collided. Their head-on encounter tore apart the galaxies and left behind two reconfigured heaps of stars and gas, separating again and moving apart from each other, destiny unknown.
Four billion years later, a curious group of water-based humanoid life-forms tries to make sense of the galaxies� collision. They point their

Fashion: Golden Goose Sneaker Trend
Hey guys! Hope you all had a fantastic New Year! I have been spotting the coolest sneakers around the blogosphere called Golden Goose. They're on the top scale of prices for sneakers, so you def have to love these to splurge on them. However, if you think the price tag is a bit much for you, these are a similar, more affordable version available at SheIn.
They come in a wide variety of colors, I personally like all the colors but my favorite is the more neutral all white with black seen here. As for trendy sneakers, I've seen SO MANY young girls sporting shell top Adidas...and although I had a pair when I was 15 years old, I think they're WAY TOO popular now. Personally, I'd rather invest a bit more money & get something like golden goose. Or even get a cheaper pair that look like the real deal! They're trendy, comfy & not every single teeny bopper is wearing them. Happy New Year!!!

How to use an "argument from authority"
I spent the holidays playing with the video animation software. As a side-effect, I produced this little video.
If you'd rather read than listen, here's the complete voiceover:
It has become a popular defense of science deniers to yell �argument from authority� when someone quotes an experts� opinion. Unfortunately, the argument from authority is often used incorrectly.

The 2017 Edge Annual Question: Which Scientific Term or Concept Ought To Be More Widely Known?
My first thought when I heard the 2017 Edge Annual Question was �Wasn�t that last year's question?� It wasn�t. But it�s almost identical to the 2011 question, �What scientific concept would improve everybody�s cognitive toolkit.� That�s ok, I guess, the internet has an estimated memory of 2 days, so after 5 years it�s reasonable to assume nobody will remember their improved toolkit.
After that

Physics is good for your health

Yes, physics is good for your health. And that�s not only because it�s good to know that peeing on high power lines is a bad idea. It�s also because, if they wheel you to the hospital, physics is your best friend. Without physics, there�d be no X-rays and no magnetic resonance imaging. There�d be no ultrasound and no spectroscopy, no optical fiber

FASHION: 5 Vavoom dresses for NYE
Hey guys! I am so excited for the Holidays! BIGGEST reason is because I will get to spend time with my family. Also, I'm excited about going on more than (1) date night......thanks to my mom! With that said...anyone have plans for the New Year??
We hadn't been out on New Year's Eve since NYE 2015, right before Noah popped into the mix & we became a family of 3. So, this year even though we may not make it out to party, I wanted to inspire those of you who would be. I put together some dresses that are sure to draw some attention & get you noticed while ringing in 2017.
Hope you all have a great Christmas!!
which one is your favorite?

Reasoning in Physics
I�m just back from a workshop about �Reasoning in Physics� at the Center for Advanced Studies in Munich. I went because it seemed a good idea to improve my reasoning, but as I sat there, something entirely different was on my mind: How did I get there? How did I, with my avowed dislike of all things -ism and -ology, end up in a room full of philosophers, people who weren�t discussing physics,

Design: Throwback of My Apartment
Earlier this year, I was featured in a popular Decor magazine called Casa e Jardim from Brazil.

I don't believe I ever shared all these photos on my blog....so I wanted to post them today. The photos were shot earlier this year when Noah was much younger & wasn't standing or walking yet...hence, why the coffee table is styled so nicely in the pic below! Ha! These days, the apartment is not as nicely decorated because having a toddler changes everything! Simple things like a glass vase are now considered "armed & dangerous." haha
This apartment holds so many memories but one of my favorites was decorating it. I hope my home decor will inspire you! Please feel free to pin these pics!

Book Review, �Why Quark Rhymes With Pork� by David Mermin
Why Quark Rhymes with Pork: And Other Scientific Diversions
By N. David Mermin
Cambridge University Press (January 2016)
The content of many non-fiction books can be summarized as �the blurb spread thinly,� but that�s a craft which David Mermin�s new essay collection Why Quark Rhymes With Pork cannot be accused of. The best summary I could therefore come up with is �things David Mermin is

Cosmic rays hint at new physics just beyond the reach of the LHC
Cosmic ray shower. Artist�s impression.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) � the world�s presently most powerful particle accelerator � reaches a maximum collision energy of 14 TeV. But cosmic rays that collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere have been measured with collision energies about ten times as high.
The two types of observations complement each other. At the LHC, energies

FASHION: 5 Comfy Holiday Sweaters
Many of us will be attending Holiday parties or just family gatherings this Season. For me, I'll be heading to a family gathering where we will (for the first time ever) do a Christmas sweater theme. This is NOT a common thing for my family, but my brother suggested it 2 weeks ago along with some hot chocolate - & I said, "Um, YEA!!"
With that said, I spent the last week looking for the right sweater that wasn't going to have me sweating up a storm while indoors! I finally decided on this one.
If you're thinking of the same, I pulled together 5 sweatshirts that I thought would work nicely for a family gathering or office party. In the meanwhile Happy Shopping! I will shoot a few pics for my instagram + show it on my SnapChat: CocoaAndHearts around Christmas time. Stay tuned!

Away Note
I'll be in Munich next week, attending a workshop at the Center for Advanced Studies on the topic "Reasoning in Physics." I'm giving a talk about "Naturalness: How religion turned to math" which has attracted criticism already before I've given it. I take that to mean I'm hitting a nerve ;)
