Sometimes part of learning how the world works is learning what doesn't work. ⁠

Thanks to Isaac Newton and alchemists everywhere, we know a little more about how the world works and we're celebrating that with our Alchemy t-shirt! Grab yours at complexly.store!

The next Deep Dive premieres on October 17th, hosted by @tomlumperson.bsky.social!!

Here's a sneak preview of the animations.

A chalice and a collection of mysterious ingredients: a bag of white substance, a chunk of a metallic material, and a yellow liquid in a volumetric flask. A man with suns for eyes, reaching out toward a paper that is floating toward him.

New from me at @scishow.bsky.social! In news stories, why do quantum computers look like a 'steampunk chandelier'? Well, turns out: that's not the computer!

(But that's all just setup for my rant at the end about how so much quantum tech is way over-hyped 👀👀👀)

this is actually one of the hubble images of all time
An image is split in two. In the bottom left of the first image a bright blue ring appears, slightly fading in all directions, with a small blue dot in the middle. Red and orange waves of gas ripple, arcing from top left to top right. A light blue center appears out of the sea of red, and several bright white dots shine through. In the top right, dark blue gas emanates from the blackness of space. An image is split in two.

I always wanted to believe in Blue Zones, or unique parts of the world where there is thought to be a higher rate of centenarians and super centenarians. I had an opportunity to read a ton and write about them in this episode of @scishow.bsky.social 🤓

Hank! I love @scishow.bsky.social and supported it when I could.

Maybe it’s just me as an aspiring astrophysics nerd, but I yelled “What the f*ck!” at the screen at a very specific point in the video.

That a neutrino could run into something so primordial is wild.

This was a really fun one. We wrote about the real science behind an ancient tome said to hold alchemical secrets... And just what does Shannon entropy have to do with it?
