There was an announcement this week: scientists have apparently discovered a new state of matter: topological superconductivity. I don’t have a great Braves tie-in to this discovery, but some have come to expect non-Braves-related intros from me. So if you’re into stable qubits, I’m sure you’re pretty excited right now and you can pretty much stop reading.
Last week, JamesD asked me how many times teams hit six or more home runs in a 9 inning game without winning, as the Braves managed against the Mets, losing 10-8. The answer is 23 times, including 3 teams that hit 7 home runs and lost, which is the record.
