[Like Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing] I am also besotted with mathematics… I am absolutely struck with the power of mathematics, and that’s why I’m a theoretical physicist. If I want to answer questions, I love that we can all share the mathematical answers. It’s not about me trying to convince you of what I believe or of my perspective. We can all agree that one plus one is two, and we can all make calculations that come out to be the same, whether you’re from India or Pakistan or, you know, Oklahoma.

Magnificent On Being interview with cosmologist and theoretical physicist Janna Levin, who studies black holes, is the author of a bewitching novel about Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing, and has written beautifully about the relationship between genius and madness. (via explore-blog)

hey, your blog is super great and you seem like a beautiful human being. i find you to be super inspiring! i know you get a lot of these questions, but is it okay to punch boys who tell me that i "can't can't be an engineer because I'm a girl"?

Not that I’m advocating violence, but if hypothetically you were to punch a shitty dude for being sexist, you should aim for the solar plexus or the stomach, not the face, because you’re less likely to hurt your hand and you’ll do more damage. Hypothetically of course.
