What is this?

This is a blog for scientific ideas I never got around to submitting anywhere proper.

You know how it goes — you have a thought, you run some numbers, you sketch out a derivation at 11 pm, and then life happens. Instead of letting those ideas die in a notebook, they live here.

The quality bar is: interesting enough to write down, not necessarily rigorous enough to publish.

Topics include physics, mathematics, AI and machine learning, music theory, and science education — often at the intersections between them.

Peer review, for real

If you spot an error, a flawed assumption, or a better way to think about something — I want to hear it. Open an issue or discussion on GitHub and I’ll read it.

Criticism will be posted alongside the original entry. Pinky promise.

Who am I?

Sebastian Spicker. I do science-adjacent things. Sometimes I finish them.
