In Quantum Mechanics, Nothingness Is the Potential To Be Anything | Quanta Magazine
Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation.

I'm a few months behind, but is still worth a listen now. That sample container is prepped and ready to be picked up. It is expensive to do so, but it's also a sample that will aid our understanding of the origins of life if we could get it from there to here.

I'm so new to this platform that I know no one here who cares, but nonetheless the first step of some tattoo work that's been in the planning stages for months was done this week. Hannah is amazing. #tattoo #seagullnebula #skullandcrossbonesnebula #m41 #m93 #sirius #canismajor

A New Bridge Links the Strange Math of Infinity to Computer Science | Quanta Magazine
Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms.

A random thought...it is maybe in some respects unfortunate humans have mostly settled on base 10 as our number system. For quick, intuitive do-it-in-your-head math, I suspect base 12 is better.
