Bonaparte wasn’t wrong… Reminds me of that “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt”, but I fear it’s too late for me. BUT… we’re in the double digits! 990 more to go!

 

AESTHETIC RAIN IS EVERYTHING I AM HERE FOR IT FOREVER

 

SPACE

  • I’m no Homer Simpson… “But there’s an Air N Space Museum!” The below is about how to make oxygen molecules in outer space! I know we saw Perseverance do it on Mars, but with comets, it’s possible we’re learning even more… we can make exhalation into fresh breaths!

he painted a unicorn in outer space! I'm asking you.. What's it breathin'?.. Homer: Air? Warden: Ain't no air in space. Homer: There's an air-in-space museum. : TheSimpsons

 

But I was curious, if Oxygen is the most abundant element in the universe, why isn’t there more Oxygen in space. Well, it took a kid’s website to explain it perfectly and succinctly: “oxygen atoms cling tightly to stardust. This prevents the oxygen atoms from joining together to form oxygen molecules”. In researching deeper, here is a fantastic explanation, which includes the reminder just because O2 is the 3rd most abundant element does NOT mean it’s not outnumbered by Hydrogen molecules Millions to One: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/05/why-there-so-little-breathable-oxygen-space

But science is on the job: Comets are teaching us how to make breathable oxygen in space: By mimicking how asteroids naturally convert carbon dioxide into molecular oxygen, researchers hope to one day turn human exhales into breaths of fresh air. https://astronomy.com/news/2019/06/comets-are-teaching-us-how-to-make-breathable-oxygen-in-space

 

 

 

  • The Planetary Defense Conference Exercise has begun. You’ve got to wonder, in seeing how people responded to Covid, just how many people wouldn’t be team players at the end of time?

SCIENCE IS COMPLEX BECAUSE THEY GIVE RESULTS, AND BEND YOUR HEAD

  • This boggles my mind, because there’s trillions of neutrinos moving through us constantly, and it has mass. What?

Mysterious Neutrinos Get New Mass Estimate Cosmic calculations suggest how massive nature’s lightest matter particle could be https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mysterious-neutrinos-get-new-mass-estimate1/

 

These manifolds not only preserved the handedness of the particles, but they also preserved supersymmetry just enough to replicate certain aspects of the Standard Model.

One benefit of the Calabi-Yau manifolds was that the geometry of the folded dimensions gives rise to different types of observable particles in our universe. If the Calabi-Yau shape has three holes (or rather higher-dimensional analogs of holes), three families of particles will be predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.

 

  • To see them in action, so to speak: at 4+ minutes, this virtual reality “game” called “Orders of Magnitude” ends on the manifold, because it’s the smallest known thing, hiding universes. So watching the whole thing… the end of our perceivable universe has experimentally shown that we’re theoretically in a multiverse, while the smallest observable part of our cosmos is also hiding universes, within us. HEAD MELTED.

  • New Glow in the Dark technology will make troops highly visible to enemy snipers. NO NOooo… it’s new night vision tech in action!

 

 

  • This shape is wild.

 

  • So my journey is realizing that pigs are smarter than dogs, and maybe we shouldn’t eat a bunch of really emotionally intelligent creatures? I tried to winnow my way to just fowl, but I’ve seen vids of chickens and turkeys acting silly so I dunno. I’ve not become impossible.

WHEN GOOD SCIENCE FINDS BAD STUFF

 

  • I for one think the logic holds tight, and although not optimistic and hopeful in the search like Carl Sagan, I don’t lightly assume we’ll be wiped out. But Drake’s equation loudly tells me something about the silence… they’re not out there and complex and intelligent life forms are likely rare, and it’s the lead into the theory that I find to abide Occam’s Razor. HOWEVER… if there are alien races out there being as quiet as possible so not to be found, WE ARE SCREWED. And the simple fact that if any creature made the long haul to a relatively unpopulated backwoods spiral arm, the resourced they’re spending to get here will 100% be about the resources they can take.

Dark Forest theory: A terrifying explanation of why we haven’t heard from aliens yet The Fermi paradox asks us where all the aliens are if the cosmos should be filled with them. The Dark Forest theory says we should pray we never find them. https://bigthink.com/scotty-hendricks/the-dark-forest-theory-a-terrifying-explanation-of-why-we-havent-heard-from-aliens-yet

 

PHILOSOPHY AND THESE DAMNED THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS

Existential Comics nails it:

 

MUSIC BUT MUSIC

  • Liam Bailey is something else. If you like brilliant roots acoustic reggae and stellar production:

 

  • Cut Chemist, looping to perform a 45rpm single turntable set:

 

MUSIC BUT COMEDY

 

  • BOZO DUBBED OVER PART TWO: The night the skeletons came to life.

 

  • The Night Court theme with added lyrics. Thanks Dan!

AIR FORCE BUT COMEDY LOL

 

 

MOVIES AND TVS

 

  • This movie was so phenomenal, and largely forgotten.

 

  • I know Paxton was killed by a Predator, a Xenomorph, and a Terminator, but Karl’s out of this freaking world like a chameleon.

 

 

  • I never watched this show, but someone edited all of the magic tricks out of the show, and it’s WEIRD:

 

 

VIDEO GAMES AND WHAT I DID IN VR

 

 

 

 

SOCIETY AND CULTURE

  • This is a few years old, but any good wildfire stories are gonna come at ya. This dog is the best dog.
