openin’ the door to the microwave one second early because you don’t need all the hootin’ and hollerin’
I'D LOVE TO ELABORATE because this is one of my favorite astronomy stories.
Okay. So in the field of Radio Astronomy, there's this phenomenon called a "fast radio burst", a very short, strong radio pulse picked up by a radio telescope. They're still poorly understood, and are considered very exciting to radio astronomers because of how rare they are.
In the 2010's, astronomers working at Australia's Parkes Radio Observatory identified a number of radio signals picked up by the telescope that appeared to resemble fast radio bursts, which they called Perytons.
However, they quickly realized that the signals had to be terrestrial in origin due to the strength of the signal.... as well as the fact that they always occurred during weekdays, around the same time.
The signals tended to be clustered around midday... hmm...
Further evidence that the signals were man-made... this trend also followed daylight savings!!!
(Unless aliens also follow Australian daylight savings conventions, which is highly unlikely...)
It took the astronomers several years, but they eventually tracked down the source to a microwave oven in the facility's break room.
They were unable to recreate the signal, until they tried opening the microwave door before it beeped. Turns out the microwave was letting out a tiny amount of radio emissions when the door opened, which the nearby telescope was sensitive enough to detect.
The Peryton signals had been popping up in the data for over a decade, presumably because astronomers taking their lunch breaks had been opening the break room microwave prematurely for the same reason cited by OP.
I imagine they must have a big sign reading "LET THE MICROWAVE FINISH BEFORE OPENING" hanging in the break room now.
TLDR: If you work in radio astronomy, let the microwave beep before opening it and removing your lunch.
(PS: I highly recommend reading the paper explaining the origin of Perytons, it's short and also pretty entertaining.)
Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳
happy birthday alan!!!!
High level physics is so fucked up it's indistinguishable from epic level magic
And it's always 5 o'clock somewhere.

Related: at a neuroscience conference I was at once there was a talk on how the "microslippages" against your fingertip when you lightly pinch something are generally enough for you to work out exactly how much force to grip it with to lift it without crushing it or dropping it.
[ID/A tweet by Cliff 🦖 [dinosaur emoji] Jerrison (@ pervocracy) saying "one of the most amazing things a human brain can do is when you shake an opaque bottle and get an idea of how full it is by how the weight shifts. there's got to be incredible math going on under the hood there" /End ID]
What about tosses? What about catching? THATS some serious math right there too
Theres a post somewhere about how the human brain is just constantly doing advanced calculus, even if we dont understand the math, we are still very good at consepsualizing it
LOVING PHYSICS HOURS!!!
oh my god it’s laika day everyone drop what you’re doing… we honour a little dog who was sent up into space 65 years ago today. she was found as a three year old stray mongrel wandering the streets of moscow. her ability to endure hardy conditions got her chosen as the candidate for a journey she was never meant to survive. she passed away seven hours after liftoff. I hope she died dreaming of chasing rabbits up in the stars I love u laika forever and ever
every single person with a dog to give them a little kissy on the forehead right now, for laika
small update!
i took the PAT in Coventry on Monday. for any of you who aren’t familiar, it’s the Physics Admissions Test for university admissions. i was with a friend of mine that i made on a residential a few weeks ago. we had a wonderful day walking around town and studying.
the exam itself was tough for a multitude of reasons. i wasn’t expecting to come out of the exam feeling particularly great, but i definitely hoped i’d feel better than i did. however, i know i worked very hard to study for the test so i’ll be happy no matter the outcome. though it was stressful, i’m glad i tried!
we’ll see how this goes!!

The Mice
The Mice, also known as NGC 4676, is a pair of interacting galaxies located in the constellation Coma Berenices.
They are named "The Mice" due to the appearance of their tails, which resemble the tails of mice.
This interaction is a result of gravitational forces between the two galaxies, leading to significant distortions in their shapes and the formation of new stars.

I love when engineers write papers and get to make fun of physicists a bit. Don't get me wrong, I love physicists, some of my closest friends are physicists, but some of y'all need to log off and touch some actual materials before you get too far into spherical cow territory.
what do you mean if I am an "honest" and "realistic" studyblr? is posting one thing and disappearing for weeks on end not realistic enough for you? :/
ALL HAIL CECILIA PAYNE
Imagine you're so small and cold and scared but there's smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared. I'm going to cry
I bought this last night. This is a total game changer. Internet fame, here I come.

Holy shit what. This is like if someone in ancient sumeria had a camera
Here's an article on it from MIT news, if anyone would like to read further!
I know this isn't ninjago guys but I finished this 17 hour painting for my art class and I was proud of it so...enjoy.
I love Egypt fun fact about me. :)
