My latest to get through peer review: Congrats to @cosmolooney.bsky.social @markneyrinck.bsky.social and our crew for getting this paper across the finish line! We show that two axion scenarios have 3 distinct ground states. ⚛️🧪🔭

positive · AI labelView post →Watching Dark Matter (2024, AppleTV+) again it's so good. If you trust me just go in blind. Scifi multi-universe stuff with dramatic personal stakes. tv.apple.com/us/show/dark...

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Dark Matter and googling quantum physics like is this whole ass show about Schrödinger'a cat? And what the hell is decoherence? Hey at least i'm not doom scrolling on Twitter

neutral · AI labelView post →Pearl Jam in Sydney tonight on the last show of the Dark Matter tour. Mind blowing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Apple TV Dark Matter Show with her. Protagonist is physicist and she’s doing a ’wouldn’t have gone down like that if I was there’. Claims would have determined what was going on much sooner.

The gallery will also have video screens presenting extended looks at video art pieces I created for the tour. Hope to see some of you there!
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok like 60% of the plot of the Dark Matter show could have been averted with better engineering decisions that presumably super genius physicists would have obviously made. Have a sally-port/airlock style entrance and look at what’s outside once you’ve gone through the first door through a window
negative · AI labelView post →BEWARE. A sci-fi series entitled Dark Matter is coming to AppleTV+ on May 8. It's about a character trapped in a parallel reality, not to be confused with the space adventures of Dark Matter (2015-2017).
neutral · AI labelView post →"Choose Your Dreams Carefully" Multiple exposure photo with each exposure being an ICM. I thought it looked like a series of doors and reminded me of the show on Apple TV from about a year or so ago called "Dark Matter" about alternate universes. #abstractphoto #photography #multipleexposure
neutral · AI labelView post →I have tried to watch Dark Matter. Pro: It's a mystery box show that explains the mystery early and sets up a nice premise. Con: It is incredibly boring and the premise is poorly executed.
neutral · AI labelView post →I want to show off the Zero and Dark Matter plushies I made again 👁️
neutral · AI labelView post →That canceled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about… Dark Matter you will never be forgotten 😭
positive · AI labelView post →The TV contraction (The CW and Syfy in particular) did a number on my weird Canadian show vibes. Shout out to some smaller shows during this time: Jake 2.0 The Crow: Stairway to Heaven Mutant X Dark Matter Sanctuary The Collector
neutral · AI labelView post →PSA: Dark Matter season 2 has debuted on Apple TV. I've seen the first few and it's very good. If you haven't seen this show, I highly recommend diving in to season 1.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching this trippy show called "Dark Matter" on Apple. It's a real suspenseful mind bending series RS
neutral · AI labelView post →We are slowly catching up on Dark Matter at Decoding TV ahead of the second season, and I gotta say: if you haven't seen this show, it's a blast. I'm so excited to watch the season finale this week https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decoding-tv/id1163344992?i=1000782789646
positive · AI labelView post →The sci-fi television series ‘Dark Matter’ starring Marc Bendavid, Melissa O’Neil, Roger Cross, Ellen Wong, Wil Wheaton, and Jodelle Ferland premiered on Syfy and Space this week in 2015. 🚀😶🌫️💥 #OTD
neutral · AI labelView post →Apple Originals you should definitely watch: - Ted Lasso - Severance - Invasion - Dark Matter - Morning Show - Foundation - Silo - Presumed Innocent - Shrinking - Mythic Quest To me Apple TV+ has some of the best, most slept on shows
positive · AI labelView post →"ENjoy tHe sIGHT, iT'S THE Last thiNG YOU'll eVEr SEE~" Snap got a hyper ass a while ago, so Dark Matter had to show that ugly Mew up with an even *bigger* ass of his own... yes he is that petty 🎨: @hajimedaotter.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →My current headcannon is that the entire film “Her” takes place in the same hyper-empathetic, Solarpunk, Obama-esque dreamworld that shows up in the Dark Matter TV series, and no one can convince me otherwise.
neutral · AI labelView post →People talk about Firefly being the Traveller RPG analogue on TV. It is, but Dark Matter is way more. Go watch Dark Matter from 2015.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just started watching a show on AppleTV called Dark Matter , this is a super crazy mind trip and I’m loving every second of it.
positive · AI labelView post →so annoyed there's a 2024 show called Dark Matter because i just saw a headline it was returning and thought it was my beloved 2015 show
neutral · AI labelView post →Dark Matter ended its three-season run on SYFY on this day in 2017. It was a fun show about a crew coming together and making their way in the universe, and I wish it was able to finish out its story as intended. Here’s my look back on the origins of the underrated show:
neutral · AI labelView post →I couldn't get enough of Dark Matter. Smashed through it in three successive evenings, then bought the book. Here's my thoughts on one of the best TV shows of the year
positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV announces streaming date for its epic Neuromancer adaptation, new Dark Matter and Matchbox trailers
neutral · AI labelView post →not time travel, but another scifi series canceled way too soon after a single season was Dark Matter - great concept, so perfectly cast... Dark Matter is the middle child between Firefly and The Expanse.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Blackbird, Dark Matter, Presumed Innocent, Defending Jacob, The Morning Show, Hijack, Five Days at Memorial, The Essex Serpent - so much good stuff.

neutral · AI labelView post →[3] We Are Legion: Two chapters later, I realize I do not like nerdy power fantasy. I heard the science is interesting, but... Guess I'm not finding out. [4] Dark Matter: A well-written thriller with an old premise. Stopped at chapter 5 when a series of predictable Hollywood clichés happened.
negative · AI labelView post →After some Internet sleuthing, I think the show they were trying to direct me to is Dark Matter (which, if you know my wife’s heritage, is particularly funny that I forgot its name) Watching it now; kind of on the fence Full disclosure, though: I wasn’t that into Widow’s Bay at first, either
neutral · AI labelView post →The cast of DARK MATTER, a show we completely forgot about five minutes after the first season ended, came out in questionable fits for Comic Con. Joel Edgerton, that is the worst thing you've ever worn in public tomandlorenzo.com/2026/07/san-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Dark Matter. I was primed onto that show after playing a lot of Fractured Space, which was also a commercial failure.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dude, Counterpart is perhaps the most criminally underrated show of the 21st Century. The two versions of the character JK Simmons plays, the interplay between the two worlds, just the monumental ideas the show grapples with. Dark Matter wishes it was Counterpart (and it's not -- it sucks).
neutral · AI labelView post →I think about the Canadian sci-fi series "Dark Matter" a lot. Mostly because of Marc Bendavid's butt.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think it’s supposed to be the new Apple TV series Dark Matter To be honest, I do not get True Detective vibes from this (more like Travellers)
neutral · AI labelView post →Jennifer Connelly on unraveling lies and trauma in season 2 of 'Dark Matter'. The series premieres Aug 28th on Apple TV+
neutral · AI labelView post →The finale of Green Lantern: The Animated Series, "Dark Matter," debuted on this day (Mar. 16) in 2013! This superb show ends strong as Hal, Kilowog, Razer, and the Lanterns gather to stop Aya and her plan to wipe the galaxy clean of all emotion! #GreenLanternTAS #GreenLantern
neutral · AI labelView post →Some that I've adored: The Left Hand of Darkness by LeGuin, Dark Matter by Michelle Paver and the BBC series The Terror. #SFFChat
neutral · AI labelView post →Caught up on the Apple TV show “Dark Matter,” and it was much better than I expected. A science fiction theme that wasn’t stupid. I could get used to this.
positive · AI labelView post →Heh, I think you're referring to the wrong Dark Matter. The one I'm talking about premiered in 2015 and was cancelled after 3 seasons.
neutral · AI labelView post →A surprisingly silly The Walking Dead-meets-Dark Matter mashup premieres on HBO Max this summer
neutral · AI labelView post →Taking advantage of a 7 day apple TV trial and really digging this Dark Matter show. Also, The Gorge fucking ruled.
positive · AI labelView post →The Apple+ show Dark Matter is exactly the kind of show I like, I'm the target audience. I love shit like this. I hate this show.
negative · AI labelView post →Me and my cohort @kphipps3000.bsky.social were on the Ringer-Verse Recommends podcast with @benlindbergh.bsky.social to talk Dark Matter and Hope (me) and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Keith), and share our AppleTV sci-fi tiers.
