<\/p>\n“Hey, dude,” the dog says, looking concerned. “We need to talk.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Yeah? What’s up?”<\/p>\n
“Look, it’s great that you’re transcribing the human puppy’s stories into Twitter<\/a> and all, but I’m feeling left out. I’ve got my own Twitter account and all<\/a>, but you hardly ever type any of my<\/em> tweets any more. I have to do it myself, and it’s hard to be witty when you have to type with your nose.”<\/p>\n “I’m sorry. Is there something specific you’d like to tweet about?”<\/p>\n “Well, yeah,” she says, in a tone like I’ve said something stupid. “I mean, obviously, we have a new book about relativity<\/a>. And look at this picture– we’re in a cool physics lab! I want to tweet about physics!”<\/a><\/p>\n “OK, we can do that. Anything specific you have in mind?”<\/p>\n “Ummmm… no. But I bet somebody else could come up with physics things for me to talk about, if you asked them…”<\/p>\n ——<\/p>\n Which is how we got to here. So, here’s the deal: If you’re on Twitter, ask a physics question of Emmy using either her Twitter name (@queen_emmy) or the hashtag #dogphysics, and she’ll answer. Ever wondered how a dog would explain general relativity? The second law of thermodynamics? Why cats land on their feet, even when you chase them off a high place really fast? Ask your question, and I’ll give you her response.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (This ought to be good for a few hours of procrastinatory activity, at least…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Hey, dude,” the dog says, looking concerned. “We need to talk.” “Yeah?
