the glass weapons in skyrim are so pretty to me and i want nothing more than a glass war axe in real life but i do love how the same weapons in oblivion look like theyve been infused with mountain dew

TIL To create an accurate depiction of a black hole in the movie Interstellar, Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, wrote pages of theoretical equations to help the VFX team. The resulting visual effects provided Thorne with new insights, resulting in the publication of three scientific papers.

because this and also because Jurassic Park–related advances in paleontology, et cetera, anyone who devalues the arts in favor of the sciences demonstrably has the wrong end of the stick

Science and Arts are not opposites, they are not rivals, they are the neglected siblings of the egotistical and over-indulged Sports and his best friend Money.

We, as scientist and artists, must unite. Science is an art, and art is a science. We hold hands and we make the world a much better place!

When Interstellar came out, every single undergrad at my university who was doing work for a LIGO project, half a dozen assorted physics majors, and half a dozen engineers all went out to watch it with the explicit intent to talk about the physics of it. It was at an IMAX and we were basically the only people there, and we asked the few who were if they’d be okay hearing us talk during the movie. (They said yes, I think they were interested in what we’d say.)

We also happened to love the movie along the way, but we got deep into the physics of it. Like, deep deep. General relativity shit, the math of causality violation, so much deep niche physics. And then one of the engineers casually commented, “Hmm. None of those are the big problem though.”

All us general relativity people: “Oh?”

Engineer: “Yeah. The real problem was that they needed the really big rocket to get off of earth but only those tiny itty bitty landers to clear a gravitational field so intense it causes massive time dilation.”

All us general relativity people: suddenly and intensely coming to terms with how obvious that was and how badly we missed it

Engineer: “Physicists.” (affectionately derogatory)

when people are like “the hunger games just stole the plot of battle royale” like listen everything steals from the plot of everything the lion king is just furry hamlet westworld is jurassic park but sexier lost is edgy gilligan’s island there are no original stories and the only good piece of media is jennifer’s body

michael crichton keeps TRYING to tell y’all about the evils of capitalism impeding on the progress of science when will y’all LISTEN

Maybe he just doesn’t like theme parks

i’d love to see more fantasy/sci-fi worlds where a species lifespan difference between a married couple, or between friends, is a normal factor of life. i’m tired of dramatic angsting about it, i want to see how people cope with it when it’s just an everyday part of the world

starpeace

how does it affect ideas of marriage when you are not, in fact, expected to be able to live out both your lives together? do certain species have specific traditions for mourning their shorter-lived friends? are interspecies friendships and relationships more avoided or more valued because of this? do longer-lived species form bonds with whole families, part of their lives for generation after generation? how does it affect society’s ideas of age/maturity if some people will never reach certain ages? are comparisons between different species’ relative ages argued about? how would it affect a political landscape if people with vastly different lifespans lived in one place?

starpeace

i want “help, i know this is normal for humans but my husband decided to spend ALL the rest of his short life with me and now i can’t cope with how much i love him”. i also want “fuck, i killed a guy and i have to pay a wergild for his life but it turns out he had a lifespan 50x a human’s and the court here says i have to pay 50x as much, please bail me out”

“extortionate rates? ma’am, i am merely a humble artist. if you don’t want the very finest job done preserving the visage of those who will be gone in a mere flutter of a butterfly’s wings—pardon the expression—then by all means seek a cheaper option”

“our local ruler is from a species that endures hundreds of years longer than us. my children’s children will not live to see the end of his tyranny. unless we put an end to it ourselves”

“oh, that’s my uncle! he’s been a friend of the family for twenty generations. my ancestor saved his life in battle, you know how it is, he’s supposed to stay until he saves one of our lives in return. but we’re mostly shopkeepers so now he’s just kind of here. gives great birthday presents”

“sweetheart please stop making me put off writing a will. we both know you have no life skills so you are going to be provided for when i die or so help me i WILL make you learn how to cook”

this should be a tweet but I don’t want to deal with people on Twitter. everyone stop having every character in your fiction talk like their goal is to get an A in therapy.

catchaspark

I love cathartic conversations too and that is why I am begging you: stop hunting them to extinction by making them constant, characterless, and corny as hell

YES

we need more masculine clothing designed to show off tits

Btw I recently found out about the fern Sticherus truncatus and i don’t like it. Why is it so bad to look at??? I hate it so much??? Cursed Cursed Cursed

headspace-hotel

If i post a picture of it I feel like there should be some kind of warning on it, in a similar category as trypophobia, but what

headspace-hotel

…Bad. Why is it doing that

unitydruid

I’m so glad you asked. In the ferns you’re probably used to seeing, such as Pteridium aquilinium, the fractal patterns increase in size as you move towards the base of the plant. They taper to a point. In S. truncatus, the fractal patterns increase in size as you move away from the base of the plant, a pattern which is more commonly seen in trees. S. truncatus branches toward infinity, giving that broad, crowded look.

Okay there’s an actual mathematical reason it looks Wrong. That’s neat thanks for sharing

linecoveredinjellyfish

my favorite romance trope is like. you dont want to hurt me but i am asking you to hurt me. i need you to stab me. i need you to carve this out of me. i need you to cut something off of me. this will hurt both of us in incredible ways. yours are the only hands i trust enough to weild this knife. you do not want to hurt me. i am asking you to hurt me.

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.

"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

[ID: three images.

The first is a photograph of two dogs laying on the floor together. The dog with the toy in its mouth is sandwiched between the other dog and the couch.

The second image is a close up on the dog with the toy in its mouth, showing that it is looking towards the ceiling, as though determined not to make eye contact.

The third image is a screenshot of tags by princesscochlea that read "a quiet place (2018 dir. john krasinski)"]

Sigourney Weaver / production still from Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979)

Babe are you okay I saw you reblog Sigourney Weaver / production still from Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979)

officialmacgyver

The commentary by Ridley Scott he did for the Quadrilogy Boxset about this scene is hilarious. He said “She refused to pull up her panties and shave at all. We had to pay someone in 1979 something like 5 thousand dollars to air brush out all her minge hair on every single cell of film. It took weeks!”
