Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

GPS satellites move at 1/100000 the speed of light, causing their clocks to tick slower by 7 microseconds per day, and orbit at a height that makes their clocks tick faster by 45 microseconds per day. Two relativistic effects, both at the 1 part in 10 billion level, both essential for GPS accuracy 🧪

Hey fellow astronomers and physicists, any guidance or leads for post-bacc/gap year opportunities for students? I've seen a few advertised and I know it's tough out there, but I'd love to hear about anything you might have come across! 🔭⚛️

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

choice for the long run. However, the result of the tournament was that the highest average score was attained by the simplest of all strategies submitted:
TIT FOR TAT. This strategy is simply one of cooperating on the first move and then doing whatever the other player did on the preceding move. Thus TIT FOR TAT is a strategy of cooperation based on reciprocity.
The results of the first round were then circulated and entries for a second round were solicited. This time there were 62 entries from six countries (23). Most of the contestants were computer hob-byists, but there were also professors of evolutionary biology, physics, and computer science, as well as the five disciplines represented in the first round. TIT FOR TAT was again submitted by the winner of the first round, Professor Ana-tol Rapoport of the Institute for Advanced Study (Vienna). It won again. An analysis of the 3 million choices which were made in the second round identified the impressive robustness of TIT FOR TAT as dependent on three features: it was never the first to defect, it was provocable into retaliation by a defection of the other, and it was forgiving after just one act of retaliation (24).

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
