If I saw that IRL I’d suddenly have something to do inside. Taxes, maybe a root canal…

Someday…

WHOOO!!!

I had no idea this was a thing, so thank you for posting the trailer 2!

Since I missed #1 here’s the link in case anyone else did too: https://youtu.be/EEoQAoEGLhw

Naw…

I’m pretty sure, as far as we’re aware, that the meteor that caused the K–Pg Extinction Event was the first Nat. 20. (Taking out Goliath has nothing on taking out most of life on Earth, including the dinosaurs…)

Thanks an AWESOME story! Thank you sharing it.

Ha ha ha!

Well…

We both saw the photo in the article. It’s a big photo, and they had to enlarge the teeny tiny spot this galaxy was in, then blow it up and actually add an arrow to point it out.

Seems pretty wee to me!

“A redshift of one corresponds to a distance of more than 10 billion light-years. JWST’s studies showed that JADES-GS-z14-0 has a redshift of 14.32, the highest ever recorded.”

Wow!

“Usually gases like oxygen show up only after large groups of stars have lived their lives and died in supernova explosions,” Hainline says. “So seeing oxygen in a galaxy this young is like if you are an anthropologist and you find an enormous, ancient city that has evidence of iPhones.”

That just boggles the mind!

Can’t wait to get more data on this wee, spry, bizarre find.

The “force” keeping particles together are other particles! With their own quantum fields even.

Here’s an 8 minute primer on the Standard Model: https://youtu.be/XYcw8nV_GTs

Black Holes are infinitely fascinating!

They’re ’a thing’ we knew nothing about until Einstein wrote a paper, and even though his own math showed their existence, he doubted that they could be real.

Turns out that they are, and that they form the structure of the entire universe.

That’s my object.

My favorite thing is Quantum Field Theory! You know the field of magnetism, you played with it as a kid when you got your hands on two magnets the first time.

Turns out every particle in the standard model has its own field, and an excitation of that field manifests as that type of particle.

EDIT: Both links above are 1+ hours each, and done in layperson terms. No degree needed, just a desire to learn something fascinating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przybylski%27s_Star

“Przybylski’s observations indicated unusually low amounts of iron and nickel in the star’s spectrum, but higher amounts of unusual elements such as strontium, holmium, niobium, scandium, yttrium, caesium, neodymium, praseodymium, thorium, ytterbium, and uranium. In fact, at first Przybylski doubted that iron was present in the spectrum at all. Modern work shows that the iron group elements are somewhat below normal in abundance, but it is clear that the lanthanides and other exotic elements are highly over-abundant.”

Living the best life!

Does that exactly the same sentence in the first two paragraphs indicate an AI writer?

I stopped reading at that point.

Or good 3D movies!

I’m calling dibs on Neptune as my family’s home base in the future!

I know it’s several billion years in the future, but I called it.

MAGNIFICENT! 😍🥰😍❤️

That’s not trouble, that’s a dog!

Doing dog things and hoping that you’re as proud as they are of their accomplishment!

I’ve done this on my Druid but with 3 portable holes…and the entire party.

Only time my mom threatened to kill me is when she stepped on one. She was dead serious!

13 TeV!
