Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting, but he's looking at the nuclear phase diagram

Gru presenting his plan. Quark mass dependence and chiral restoration, but critical point is missing

I've got my most important slides ready for the nuclear physics conference in Chicago

The scene from Ferris Bueller's day off where Cameron stares at a Seurat painting. I have replaced the painting with the nuclear phase diagram

The camera slowly zooms in on the critical point in the phase diagram, while also zooming in on Cameron's eyes, which are welling with emotion

From an episode of Danger Mouse where the evil plan is to cover the entire world in instant custard (?)

Danger Mouse and Penfold running from a bomb that says BOOM

Danger Mouse and Penfold standing in custard. It's deep enough that Penfold needs a snorkel to breathe. Danger Mouse is doing research in a large tome

A black hole fell into a star – then ate its way out again

Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as the star is consumed from within

The note on the back of the photo mis-states his name as Christopher Columbus Vaughan

Cursive handwriting that says:
Christopher (Christy)
Columbus
Vaughan
Pat's father
about 25 years old
about 1932

He was my grandma's first cousin, and my mom's godfather. He and his wife Bridie (Lennon) both immigrated to Chicago from Ireland, and met at a dance, just like in the movie Brooklyn. Unlike the movie, neither of them ever returned to Ireland

Christopher Columbus never sailed to America, but you know who did? My cousin Christy Columba Vaughan
