Astronomers Discover Mysterious Black Hole As Massive As 12 Billion Suns
The Yo momma joke to end all yo momma jokes.
edit: not the biggest found but astonishingly young, so it’s just yo sister
Emperor protect us!
something fun…
What are good resources that I can Use, which ask me more abstract conceptual questions regarding quantum chemistry.
Re: The “Did Homer Simpson Discover the Higgs Boson” article - although the article is obviously written without the aim of being taken seriously, the mass that Homer’s equation predicts is 775 GeV. This is way off the estimate from the “real” Higgs, which is 125 GeV - that’s an error of 520%. It was just a throwaway equation, as an in-joke for physicists at the time.
Also please don’t link to the Daily Mail, it’s a terrible news site
It’s actually pretty cool to look at the blackboard and find out all about the different mathematics and physics behind the 3 equations there (and the 1 diagram).
Here’s a link to a good article by Simon Singh about it: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/10/29/the_simpsons_and_fermat_s_last_theorem_wizard_of_evergreen_terrace_has_brilliant.html
Lol, yea those Fermat’s last theorem jokes were funny, based on old calculators.
I checked recently and my phone’s calculator does indeed correctly show they’re different.
But more TIL a few weeks ago that the creator and some of the writers on the Simpson’s have education in computer science, math, and physics.
Apparently the mass eq of 1 eV on the order of 10E-36 kg, the fact that Homer got the mass even within the same order of magnitude is remarkable
Player haters ball got nothing on you guys
In case you see an article with a title such as, “Observed light act as a wave and a particle at the same time”, that’s a click bait title based on a misconception.
Here’s a better explanation of why that research is interesting:

The “first man-made biological leaf” could enable humans to colonise space
This is amazing stuff, scifi becoming a reality.
More info here - http://www.julianmelchiorri.com/SELECTED-WORKS/Silk-Leaf
He made a less efficient leaf (How many leaves did he have to blend to extract the chloroplast to make one silk-leaf). He talks about using if for space travel, but does not mention anything about how the structure of the choroplast is effected by extreme temperatures and how dessication (a real problem in space) can render them useless. There are many holes in this idea.
I don’t recall him saying what his background is, but it sounds like a step forward, we could potential optimize every aspect of the process. There might be some proper scientific reviews of the process online, but I haven’t looked.
you gonna tell us what’s in the link or is it a dare?
Bravo fellow gamer geeks
Nice to hear.
Wonder if the gamers who solved this then went up to the “scientists” and asked:
That sounds like the type of thing Neil would come out with lol
