  That would never happen. NATO is not an alliance among equals. It’s a manifestation of the US empire. Everyone should be pleased if it breaks up. Russia wanted to join NATO, which Putin supported before and during his time in office. But the bloody war machine always needs an enemy…

  Definitely not Feynman. He developed his whole public clown persona only to distract from his guilt over participating in mass murder. Curie was literally to radioactive to safely get anywhere near to. Her remains are sealed in lead. Which of the other ones had least toxic masculinity?

  Actually you wouldn’t notice anything special crossing the event horizon. You’d just continue to fall.

  Makes you wonder why only one beetle does this. Were the adaptions necessary to survive the digestive acid really complex or really unlikely, maybe?

  That’s not an empirical observation nor a new discovery though. It just an analogy that leans on the definition of Schwarzschild Radius. No one is seriously implying, that we’re somehow trapped in a black hole.

  In fact, the analogy only holds, if the Hubble parameter is constant and this new result, if it holds up, would still indicate, that it is not constant. As was expected by the standard model of cosmology. If the Hubble constant is decreasing, and consensus is that it does, than the Hubble radius is also different from an event horizon in the following way: light reaching us from more than 5 billion years ago comes from regions that have always been receding from us at speeds faster than light.

  But physicists actually do that? They often write it like this: ∫ dx f(x) or this: ∫∫∫ dxdydz f(x,y,z)

  Ultraviolet induced visible fluorescence photography

  Sounds complicated, but it’s just shining UV light on an object in a dark room and taking a normal photo with long exposure. If you want to be pure about only picturing visible light, you might need a UV filter, since many cameras can already see a bit of UV despite inbuilt filters.

  How to DIY.

  Outside of mating season, birds definitely do sing just for fun.

  And even in mating season, I wonder if birds really consciously try to “get laid” or if they just sing, because it feels like the right thing to do in the moment and then getting laid happens. I mean, some start singing very young. How would they know what it’s for the first time? Not all birds are as smart as crows.

  This review paper looks at the motivation for both kinds of singing: intrinsically motivated (just for fun, all year round) and singing that attracts mates. In the latter, it’s unclear, what triggers the motivation. The author supposes, it might be a combination of socially reinforced behavior and the vicinity of a mate, rather then the act of copulation, that triggers the reward.

  It’s also wealth transfer from bottom to top. They don’t just write a free check. These drones and weapons probably come from British manufacturers. So they take taxes and cut services for the people and give to the rich, without threatening anyone’s profits. If they were finding something non destructive, it would cut int someone’s business.

  It’s just that normal gravity on earth feels exactly like being in an accelerating escalator in space. So you can’t tell the difference from the inside. Like in the elevator you can ask them, wether your still on earth or accelerating in space. Einstein used this thought experiment to develop the general theory of relativity.
