nasa: A stone cold look at Saturn 🗿

The giant planet gives us a look into its moody disposition. The Cassini spacecraft captured this image on Jan. 30, 2007, from a distance of 700,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers). As Saturn’s atmosphere rages with thunderous and hurricane-like storms, its majestic rings spin a tale of ancient collisions and cataclysms. A joint endeavor of NASA, @europeanspaceagency, and @agenziaspazialeitaliana, Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study Saturn and its complex system of rings and moons over the course of a decade. Lessons we took from Cassini helped in the planning of our #EuropaClipper mission, which is on its way to Jupiter and expected to arrive in April 2030. Image description: A black-and-white image of Saturn taken from a lower angle. The rings of Saturn frame the upper right portion of the planet in various widths. Details of stripes and swirls from storms can be seen along the face of the planet. The left side of the planet is encompassed in a shadow.

Traveling for work and appreciating the views from my hotel.

Also while out for dinner at cal tech I saw this girl waiting in line and was like huh that girl looks for familiar. And realized that she was the one who got the first picture of a black hole and I recognized her because her face was all over social media for like a week. It was so weird but so cool. The super nerd version of celebrity sighting.

Also I have to go give an hour long presentation tomorrow as part of this three hour giant review in front of a like ten person review board and everyone on my project. And. I. Am. So. Nervous.

I have been nervous for weeks tbh but at least after tomorrow it will all be over

Is Our Universe Someone Else's Computer Simulation?

A superb high strangeness presentation that WILL make you think. Our best and brightest are sneakily posing this question.  Great Presentation on modern quantum field theory. Earth and our universe, might well be a petri dish for OTHER scientists.

SUMMARY

Some people in the human abduction syndrome have reported that E.T.s describe our universe as a 3-D hologram projected from another dimension by a Super Intelligence. Quantum computer engineers and astrophysicists ask in scientific papers: “Are We Living in a Computer Simulation Universe?” 

On April 5, 2016, the Hayden Planetarium in New York hosted a debate on the question “Is the Universe A Simulation?” 

 One of the panelists, James Gates, Ph.D., a theoretical physicist at the Univ. of Maryland said: “If the simulation hypothesis is valid, then we open the door to eternal life and resurrection and things that formally have been discussed in the realm of religion.” Human abductee Michael Talbot wrote in his 1992 book, The Holographic Universe, about what he learned from an alien.

KK Bar, fuck offer kill yourself. Imagine I said I discovered entropic effects (systemic) to Chrys. That’s you dude. So embarrassing.
