"how much do you know about atomic ground states and the quantisation of energy?" I ask, while making custard

Yep, that sounds like you.

What was your interlocutor's reply?

:-)

[redsixwing]

(but was it custard-relevant?)

Am amused.

[kaberett]

A fair amount as long as I can look up the actual equations, think I, finshing my chard-themed Thai green curry.

[kaberett]

Oooh, that sounds tasty.

(me_and and I were discussing https://phys.org/news/2017-03-physicists-impossible-cool-absolute.html & the nature of temperature; he's a mathematician, and I wanted to check how much bullshit could get away with. >_>)

Interesting!

Lancaster Uni had, and may still have, the record for lowest temperature achieved at 0.000006 Kelvin. I always argued it helped the climate gave them a head start ;)

I've seen a couple of links to that on today's DW catch-up. I think we have acquaintances is common who actually worked on that paper.

[silveradept]

Not enough, but I suspect I learn a ton!

[azurelunatic]

Alexen are great. :)

[alatefeline]

Delightful!

(in synchronicity: I had a custard craving tonight and bought supermarket vanilla slice (aka mille-feuille aka snot block) for dessert. The icing was revoltingly sweet, but the custard/pastry was what I wanted.)

[batrachian]

I am interested in both of these topics.
