Patterns in science and math
A new Royal Institute lecture dropped that talks about key patterns in science and math and a brief discussion about them. There's an interesting way of thinking about knowledge that indicates we start off by butterfly-collecting until we have enough information to develop patterns and theories off of the collection, and the lecture has a wonderful summary on WHY human intelligence works off of patterns. 1) Cosmic Microwave Background (key to reaching back to the end of inflation) 2) Feynman Diagrams (part of the key to understanding the probabilistic nature of Quantum Mechanics) 3) periodic table (very much much what I would expect from a physicist about chemistry) 4) the Number line (touches on set theory aleph-null infinity, but misses out on talking about aleph-one or the hyperreal number line) 5) DNA (a decent overview of the relationship between the chemistries, genes, and chromosomes) 6) Symmetries (which are important, but Sabine Hossenfelder had quite a bit to say about the love of other physicists for symmetry and the issues it causes in physics) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dXgcVTquGh0 (edited)

Science experiments are fun!
Going through the process, making a hypothesis, and preforming the experiments to see the outcomes!

Amazing
The Atoms in your body '🫵Literally You🫵' Are about 13.8 billion years old. Almost every atom was formed in the core of a star that exploded long before the Earth existed. In other words, you are made of stardust. Every heartbeat is the echo of cosmic explosions that happened eons before humans... read more

Taxidermied Coot
This is an American Coot. It's a bit of challenge to taxidermy these water birds because of how much oil they have, as well as the fat stored in their bodies.

I have to take an environmental conservation class and its honestly just a bummer every time.

What are the thoughts on plastic eating worms?
Recently learned about some worms that can break down plastics into fat. Just wondering if anyone think it's viable, could be upscale, or if we just find the chemical process out and do it mechanically ourselves (edited)

Feelings are fast prediction not future memories
Science says It feels like magic. But it’s your brain working overtime behind the scenes. What we call “gut instinct” isn’t supernatural. It’s actually your brain drawing on millions of past experiences to make rapid-fire predictions before your conscious mind even catches up. Neuroscientists... read more

Basalt - 3Ma years old
I'm a sucker for collecting rocks and since I'm studying environmental science this was an EPIC find. A piece of very heavy basalt. From where I found it, the only location it could've come from would've been a 3 million year old magma sill in South Wales. It has tiny pyrite crystals in it if you... read more

High thoughts
So with the advancements in medical research, we can extend human life by 2030 and eventually regenerate cells to keep people at their prime. If we also have the tech to modify our names with gene editing to make ourselves taller, would we just become the elves from lotr?
