Hey, everyone, it's Daniel with a quick note about my new book, which is out now.

Do aliens speak physics?

It's all about how easy or hard it might be to talk to arriving aliens about physics.

I think it's right up your alley, but you don't have to trust me.

Here's what Seamus Blackley, creator of the Xbox, said about it. Quote, You should buy this book. If you don't buy it for the charming, smart, funny prose, buy it for the lovely and poignant illustrations. Buy it for the wonderful imaginative daydreams about how we might meet aliens and what they'd be like. Buy it because it will gently accidentally educate you

by the history of language, translation, decryption,

and the cultural impact of the writing and transmitting ideas.

Not enough, buy it for the thoughtful, clear, and genuinely entertaining grand tour

of the fundamentals of math, physics, and the universality of consciousness.

You won't go wrong.

So please consider picking up a copy of Do Aliens Speak Physics?

The goal of science is to make sense of the world, to unravel the laws that control it and translate them into something that makes sense to us.

But there's no guarantee that the universe runs on rules that we can understand.

What if our intuition, built in a slow and large environment, doesn't equip us with ways of understanding that can be

mapped to the quantum world. One of the trickiest elements of quantum mechanics is its strange

randomness. We like to think that the universe follows rules that determine what happens,

that at any moment there is a true story of reality. But quantum mechanics says no,

there are only probabilities until you look and that a random one is selected. And if you have two

quantum objects whose fates are intertwined, who have to coordinate their outcomes to follow some

rule, then those outcomes are somehow determined together,
