Some of my answers on Quora were featured online by Forbes Magazine, The Huffington Post, Apple News and other media outlets. I also wrote a couple of articles for non-peer reviewed magazines:
Recently I retranslated a historic paper by Kaluza. Much to my surprise, I was approached by a journal that wished to publish my translation.
Meanwhile, the reputable Italian science Web site scienza express began publishing my select Quora answers in Italian.
My real passion is physics. I wrote or coauthored several (mostly) physics papers (for a bibtex file containing a complete list of my publications, please click here, or here for a PDF):

It has been proposed that a tetrahedral configuration of satellites can be used to detect certain types of deviations from Newtonian gravity.
This simulation does just that, runs a tetrahedral configuration in heliocentric orbit, while measuring the trace of the gravitational gradient tensor. It should be zero. It really isn't zero, as a result of measurement and numerical uncertainties, but how close to zero can it get? Check out the various configurations that have been hardcoded in this implementation.
To run the simulation, just click Play/Pause.
