He isn't 62 years old: he is 18 years old with 44 years of experience. 😅

Ho letto con grande interesse "The broom of the system", ma non trovo ancora il coraggio di affrontare "Infinite jest".

Black-and-white historical photograph of renowned Chinese-American physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu. She stands confidently in a white lab coat, facing the camera with a calm, poised expression and direct gaze. Her dark hair is elegantly styled. Behind her is a large, complex rack of mid-20th-century electronic equipment, including tangled cables, multiple control panels, dials, switches, and connectors. Prominently visible is a device labeled "CU1721" (a linear amplifier), with additional markings such as "GUIDANCE CONTROL," "FOR AC ANALYSIS," "TIME CONTROL," input/output ports, and other technical labels typical of nuclear physics instrumentation from that era. The setting captures the intensity and precision of experimental nuclear research in the post-WWII period.

Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997.

She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

Purtroppo i jammer sono vietati dalla legge. Quante volte ci ho pensato anch'io.

In High Energy Physics people have been publishing nulls for tens of years now: no signs of Supersymmetry, no detections of particles which could constitute the Dark Matter that keeps galaxies together. I'd say that the HEP community is still open to nulls, though I wonder how long this will last.

Non torna. Gli scozzesi sono gente simpatica. 😇

Oltre ad apprezzare la massima, che è oltremodo vera, anche alla luce della scienza e di ciò che ora sappiamo sul cervello umano, imparo ciò che avevo dimenticato, ovvero che Marco Aurelio scrisse i Pensieri in greco.
Grazie!

However, do I understand correctly that Puerto Rico isn't a State but an "unincorporated territory" whose residents do not vote for Congress and for President?
Though they're US citizens, Puerto Ricans seem to be deprived of full representation rights, which I think confuses many, me included.

After Guantanamo, countless extra judiciary abductions and even torture of non-US citizens, it was only a matter of time for such practices to start hitting domestically.

YouTube video by Infinite Imagination Why are you guys so Anti dictators?

Incredibly spot on, and not just in the U.S. youtube.com/shorts/qkrY4...

The new norm.😞

Unsurprisingly, the climate 'skeptics' pretend to ignore that diesel fuels solidify around -12 °C and require special additives to stay sufficiently fluid down to -22 °C.
Whereas sodium batteries at -40 °C retain over 90% of their storage capacity.
Fossil fuels era is over, and it was high time.

Surely it's my eye, but the 2nd derivative looks positive. 😔

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"The Standard Model is incredibly good at predicting many aspects of how the world works, but it does have some holes."

Parenting first!
I am no expert, but I suspect that AI could be really good at this job, provided one had sufficient disk and cloud space available.

a man with a mustache is standing next to two other men on a boat Alt: A famous example of a photograph portraying soviet dictator Josip Stalin and some of his collaborators, which was later altered by deleting the image of Nikolai Yezhov, who had been purged.

I don't know why this photo comes to my mind. 😇

This is really a smart idea.
I look forward to further answers to this question.

a wizard should know better is written on a screen Alt: The picture is a citation from "The Lord of the Rings", in which an Ent, also known as a shepherd of trees, says "A wizard should know better" while contemplating with sadness and anger a landscaped cleared of its tree cover.

Cartoon on Washington Post‘s mass layoffs

Me too

Temo che la maggioranza delle persone si renderà conto del problema solo quando mancherà il pane. 😞

Quando lo stolto guarda il dito.

Questa mappa mostra le anomalie termiche previste oggi in Nord America. Penso che ogni commento sia superfluo; uniche note il fatto che sta piovendo perfino sulle montagne rocciose canadesi e che su quelle statunitensi la stagione nivometrica è drammatica. 1/3

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Perfect recipe to build an army of yes man that won't stand a chance against China.

It's likewise in science.
Richard Feynman has been an excellent scientist and contributed lots to physics.
Yet he was misogynistic, disrespectful of other cultures... In a word, a jerk.
And worse can be said of Isaac Newton, one should just read about what he did to Leibnitz.

😱
