   Sigh. Post-CERN-travel cold accomplished. Hooray for me.

   Landed in Dallas. I miss #CERN but I am glad to be home.

   Made it to Heathrow. It was an easy breeze to my connecting flight. Relaxing now before we board.

    At Geneva airport. Security screening was insane today. Almost ready to board flight to London.

    This is my last night at CERN before I leave for Dallas tomorrow. It has been crazy productive. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3610

    I don't believe in claims that there is a "western science" - I have too many friends and colleagues from poor towns in Columbia, big cities in India and China, small villages in Japan, and far-flung towns in Russia, to believe there is such a thing as "western this" or "eastern that" when it comes to developing reliable information about the natural world. We all interrog…

    To close this out from my side, I would say this. As a scientist, I don't claim to be certain about anything except those things for which there is overwhelming reliable evidence. I am certain that the sun will rise again tomorrow, although there is a tiny probability it won't. I am certain that the sky will be blue on a clear day as a result of Rayleigh scattering; though…

    @woodathon@loadaverage.org Can you explain what you mean by "there is a historical dimension"? Your concern is unclear. Please be specific. All things have a historical dimension. You need to explain how that is an issue for understanding the natural world and why it needs to be addressed.

    A peek into the ATLAS control room from the visitor center. Why so quiet? Everybody was busy on the other side of the control room. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3605

    @benfell@cybernude.org @woodathon@loadaverage.org @sklaing@quitter.is You leveled a whole bunch of criticisms there. I am curious: how does science compare to other ways of knowing? Which ways of knowing are better at establishing reliable information about the universe? Certainly, science is not a perfect process.... which is why it must be repeated to establish reliabili…
