I came to realize that itâs better to be a dumbass with a lot of patience than a genius without self discipline.

mathematicians have a very weird standard for use of the term âwell-knownâ
This is the most correct post about mathematicians I have ever seen.Â
//date a girl who comments her code
Wang Zhenyi was one of the greatest scholars in China. She was an astronomer, poet, and mathematician who accurately recorded lunar and solar eclipses and equinoxes. She also wrote political poetry about injustice.and papers explaining trigonometry and the principles of multiplication and division. https://www.etsy.com/listing/459039646/women-in-science-wang-zhenyi Enjoy these illustrations?

Star Trek inspires physics students to come up with ânovel method for the working principle of the photon torpedoesâ
Ignore any physical intuition you have about how this is wrong.

if usain bolt played a concert Bb on a trumpet while running past you at his 100m wr pace, you would hear the note almost exactly a quarter step sharp when approaching you and almost exactly a quarter step flat as he runs away
this is what I do with my masterâs degree
What a gentlemoon! This photo has been circulating the internet since at least 2012, and this well timed bird or other âUFOâ totally makes it. đ

Okay, this picture is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, and itâs amazing.
Itâs surreal to see a world without* an atmosphere and therefore a deep black sky. And before you claim itâs fake because there arenât any stars, thatâs because camera exposure to see the surface is too short.
*technically the moon has an atmosphere, but itâs around 10-100 trillionth of ours^
^assuming youâre reading this from Earth, and this isnât being read in the year 2050 on a Mars colony
I was zoomed in on it, trying to figure out why it was making me vaguely uncomfortable and why my mind kept insisting this was fake, and I realized the problem I was having was that I was expecting atmospheric perspective to fade the contrast on the farther objects and make the horizon hazy, butâŠ.. no atmosphere.Â

The preceding comment is interesting because it highlights one of the ways that our perception of reality can be culturally influenced.
You know how sometimes, when youâre watching a movie with computer-generated special effects, you can just tell whether certain scenes are CGI, even though you canât put your finger on exactly why?
Well, one of the things your brain is picking up on to make that determination is missing or incorrectly simulated atmospheric haze; this is highly characteristic of cheap CGI because atmospheric haze is a huge pain in the ass to correctly calculate - most low-budget productions either omit it entirely, or else fake it with simple linear distance fog.
Thatâs why photos of the Lunar surface and objects in outer space tend to look fake to modern audiences: weâve been unconsciously conditioned to associate wonky atmospheric haze with bad CGI.
what I wanna know is whatâs up with that black dot. is it a moon cave. who lives in there

A solution for CO2: Turn it into concrete
Concrete is an essential material when it comes to infrastructuresâ it can be found in our roads, driveways, and even the foundations of homes and buildings.
However, concrete production also poses an environmental concern. About five percent of the planetâs greenhouse gas emissions come from making the cement thatâs a binding agent in concrete.
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at UCLA has been working on a unique solution that may help eliminate these sources of greenhouse gases.
Their plan is to create a closed-loop process: capture carbon from power plant smokestacks and use it to create a new building material â CO2NCRETE â that would be fabricated using 3-D printers. Thatâs âupcycling.â
This isnât the first attempt to trap carbon emissions from power plants. Itâs been done before, but the so far unmet challenge is what to do with the carbon dioxide once itâs been acquired.
âWe hope to not only capture more gas,â DeShazo said, âbut weâre going to take that gas and, instead of storing it, which is the current approach, weâre going to try to use it to create a new kind of building material that will replace cement.â
