El premio Nobel de física este año va para el descubrimiento de efectos cuánticos en sistemas electrónicos macroscópicos. Es decir, que ciertos efectos cuánticos pueden aparecer en sistemas compuestos de millones de partículas a la vez, y no solo en sistemas de pocas partículas.

This man is a monster. Of all the things Trump has done, picking him to head HHs will cause the most suffering and death.

I am such a sucker for pics of Earth and the Moon taken from deep space missions. This one from Psyche, when it was *290 million km* from our planet, really puts things in perspective.

I bet it's been a while since you've had your mind vaporized by a JWST image so here's one of a cluster of galaxies so immense it's visibly warping space.
Bonus: I explain what you're seeing! Because that's kinda my thing!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.
What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy at the center of the bullseye. Warped space! 🧪🔭

There's a #LunarEclipse tonight! If you're in the dark region here, and if you have a view of the Moon at the right time, you'll see the eclipse. Check www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna... for more info and timings for the eclipse in your location. (Here on the East Coast, totality peaks around 3am.)
