Hey #Quantumsky 👋🏾
This is an attempt at indexing the growing quantum community here on Bluesky. Please let me know if you'd like to be added to the list.
Genuinely happy to see what looks like a successful migration from the birdsite 😄

Physics is dying. It’s mathematical fiction. Science is failing. Most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit. I don’t trust scientists. Would you believe me if I tol...

Any experience in doing so, and advice on pitfalls to avoid? The side goal being to help improve Wikipedia.
