@seanmcarroll.bsky.social, I don’t know if you like poetry. There’s this poem I’ve been going back to, it’s a dark poem.

A Musical Instrument by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A Musical Instrument by Elizabeth Barrett Browning “What was he doing, the great god Pan, Down in the reeds by the river? Spreading ruin and scattering ban, Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat, And breaking the golden lilies afloat With the dragon-fly on the river. He tore out a reed, the great god Pan, From the deep cool bed of the river; The limpid water turbidly ran, And the broken lilies a-dying lay, And the dragon-fly had fled away, Ere he brought it out of the river. High on the shore sat the great god Pan While turbidly flowed the river; And hacked and hewed as a great god can, With his hard bleak steel at the patient reed, Till there was not a sign of the leaf indeed To prove it fresh from the river. He cut it short, did the great god Pan (How tall it stood in the river!), Then drew the pith, like the heart of a man. Steadily from the outside ring, And notched the poor dry empty thing In holes, as he sat by the river. ‘This is the way,’ laughed the great god Pan (Laughed while he sat by the river), 'The only way, since gods began To make a sweet music, they could succeed.’ Then, dropping his mouth to a hole in the reed, He blew in power by the river. Sweet, sweet, sweet, O Pan! Piercing sweet by the river! Blinding sweet, O great god Pan! The sun on the hill forgot to die, And the lilies revived, and the dragon-fly Came back to dream on the river. Yet half a beast is the great god Pan, To laugh as he sits by the river, Making a poet out of a man; The true gods sigh for the cost and pain For the reed which grows nevermore again As a reed with the reeds in the river.”

A New Way to Measure Where the Milky Way's Dark Matter Is
Our Milky Way Galaxy is rich in dark matter. The problem is, we can’t see where it’s distributed because, well, it’s dark. We also don’t completely understand how it’s distributed—in clumps or what? A team at the University of Alabama-Huntsville has figured out a way to use solitary pulsars to map this stuff and unveil … Continue reading "A New Way to Measure Where the Milky Way’s Dark Matter Is"

A photo of homes destroyed in Las Flores Canyon by the Palisades Fire, amid one home still standing. The owner of the house that remains intact had done a home ignition assessment with the Community Brigade and made the recommended changes. The others had not. Home hardening teachings are one of the most important things the brigade does to prevent home loss. Credit: Connor Nelson

In early days I was asked whether I would be interested in being involved with UATX. I said no, since it was pretty obvious what was going on. Anyone who thinks it wasn’t obvious should reevaluate how they think about these things.
