Science isn't about why, it's about why not!

Just a nerdy, gay grad student sharing whatever fascinates me or makes me smile. All things video games, musicals, chemistry, food science, boys/LGBTQ+, and sci-fi/fantasy content.

Guys who complain about the friendzone often don’t care about their female friends’ personal boundaries, forcing their female friends build more walls up. A good cartoon.

“For the love of God, Montresor!” -Cask of Amontifriendzone, Edgar Allan Poe

[digitaldiscipline]

Incessantly, I heard a smacking, as of some entitled dipshit whacking, whacking on my chamber door.

Resignedly, I placed another layer, voicing a quiet, repeated prayer, “This dude thinks he’s a player, but I am not a point to score, he should fuck off and bother me no more.”

Quoth the friendzoned, “Fucking whore.”

I clicked sound expecting some tumblr shit where there’s some heavy metal playing or something, but instead it was the sounds of its little hooves clapping against the wet sand as a bird gently cried in the distance and that’s so great.

Astronomers have found the roundest object in the universe

The star, Kepler 11145123, is the closest natural object to a perfect sphere we've ever observed.

The sun may look round from our viewing angle but it – like most stars – aren’t as spherical as they seem. It’s actually 10 kilometers wider at its equator than it is at its poles. This is due to stars’ rate of spin and variances within their magnetic fields. Kepler 11145123, a burning orb just 5,000 light years from Earth, is an extraordinary exception to that rule.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and the University of Göttingen continually measured the routine expansions and contractions of the star for four years (which is done by tracking its relative brightness). They found that 11145123 is a mere 3 kilometers wider at its equator than its poles, making it the roundest natural object observed to date.

CRYSTALS IN STEREO

Elliot Jackson, a second-grader at Cheat Lake Elementary in West Virginia, grew these crystals for a science fair. Jackson learned that a solution containing a mixture of l- and d-tartaric acid can be separated based on their chiral crystals.

Around 1849, Louis Pasteur had noticed that tartaric acid (structure shown) crystals came in two distinct varieties, each the mirror image of the other. He observed that one crystal shape rotated polarized light to the left, and its mirror twin rotated polarized light to the right. Building on these observations, Pasteur and others developed the concept of chemical chirality. This concept is important when studying natural systems such as enzymes because they often have a strong preference for one molecular configuration over its mirror image.
