We're very quiet. It's peaceful sitting here, not speaking, the composition Fixed, the road turning suddenly dark, the air Going cool, here and there the rocks shining and glittering- It's this stillness we both love. The love of form is a love of endings. ~ Louise Glück

I think my favorite part in any video game I’ve ever played is that bit in Portal 2 that essentially goes:

GLaDOS: “Great, this is the part where he kills you.” Wheatley: “Hello! This is the part where I kill you!”

Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You

*Achievement Unlocked: The Part Where He Kills You”

my dreams, my works, must wait till after hell

by Gwendolyn Brooks

I hold my honey and I store my bread  In little jars and cabinets of my will.  I label clearly, and each latch and lid  I bid, Be firm till I return from hell.  I am very hungry. I am incomplete. And none can tell when I may dine again.  No man can give me any word but Wait,  The puny light. I keep eyes pointed in;  Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt  Drag out to their last dregs and I resume  On such legs as are left me, in such heart  As I can manage, remember to go home, My taste will not have turned insensitive  To honey and bread old purity could love.

When a wedge falls into a pool, it creates a distinctive, doubly-curved splash. Here’s how it works. When the front of the wedge first enters the water, it creates a thin sheet of fluid that gets ejected diagonally upward. As the wedge sinks further, the sheet thickens and ejects at a more vertical angle. That creates a low pressure zone in the air beside the splash, which causes outside air to flow inward, generating a sort of Venturi effect under the splash. Because the outer part of the splash sheet is thinner, it’s more strongly affected by the air flow beneath it, and it gets pulled downward, enhancing the splash’s curvature.

This doubly-curved splash is particular to wedges of the right angle. To see what kind of splashes other shapes make, check out the video below. (Image and video credit: Z. Sakr et al.; for more, see L. Vincent et al.)

Messier 63: The Sunflower Galaxy Image Credit & Copyright: Bernard Miller

Explanation: A bright spiral galaxy of the northern sky, Messier 63 is about 25 million light-years distant in the loyal constellation Canes Venatici. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, the majestic island universe is nearly 100,000 light-years across. That’s about the size of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Known by the popular moniker, The Sunflower Galaxy, M63 sports a bright yellowish core in this sharp telescopic portrait. Its sweeping blue spiral arms are streaked with cosmic dust lanes and dotted with pink star forming regions. A dominant member of a known galaxy group, M63 has faint, extended features that are likely star streams from tidally disrupted satellite galaxies. M63 shines across the electromagnetic spectrum and is thought to have undergone bursts of intense star formation.

Capillary action – or capillarity – is the ability of liquids to flow through narrow constrictions. It results from intermolecular forces between fluids and solids. It’s a combination of surface tension – which creates cohesion within the liquid – and adhesion, which allows the liquid and solid to hold to one another. Together, these forces propel the liquid to flow through narrow gaps. 

In the video below, a saturated mixture of sand and water is poured into a mold on a bed of dry sand. When left to settle, much of the water flows from the mold into the dry sand bed through capillary action. When the mold is removed (top), the sand holds its shape, something it can’t do without a porous bed to soak in the excess liquid. (Image and video credit: amàco et al.)

Dante’s Inferno is the best piece of classical poetry because it’s the most petty thing you will ever read. Half of Hell is mythological or historical figures and the other half is Dante’s enemies. So the whole thing is like “I am Medea, who slew her own child to spite her husband.” “And I am Francisco di Vincezzino Fabriccia, who gets very talented and handsome poets kicked out of Florence, but I’m very sorry for it now because I’m burning in Hell and I suck.”
