Great in my 12x36 image stabilized binoculars!

Zotero @zotero.bsky.social - thanks for version 7 - much much faster (Native Apple Silicon support + other stuff) and smoother on my Mac, which makes things like tab switching much better.

Also it looks better. The small amount I spend per year for storage, etc makes it even better.

This video by Matt O'Dowd explains
@postquantum.bsky.social 's theory of non-quantum gravity.
Since Matt is so good at what he does, the explanation works at many levels of understanding. If you haven't dug into 'postquantum gravity' - here is a great launch point.

How close to our universe can we get if we use a model containing *only* General Relativity. So QM, EM, Strong, Weak are modeled as emergent. Radical simplification.
