Lyman-alpha surveys miss 90% of all galaxies, so now we have 1.7t instead of 170B.

Delta Debugging
you establish a hypothesis on why something does not work. You test this hypothesis, and you refine or reject it. When debugging, people are doing this all the time. Manually. Delta Debugging automates this process.
Cinema Fantastico
the camera in
always gives epic shots by obeying the law of thirds and other tricks. this is more mediated cinema than gameplay, but: awesome.
Quantum Gravity
Differences in entropy between parts of the Universe generates a force that redistributes matter in a way that maximizes entropy: Gravity.
By playing with quantum entanglement, physicists hope to probe their ideas about quantum gravity for the first time
Math won’t solve quantum gravity. Experimentation will.
Math Hermit
This guy is so AWESOMELY insane!!
We LOVE it!!
A reclusive genius, Dr. Grigori Perelman, famously solved one of the world’s most complicated math problems, the 100-year-old Poincaré conjecture, and is now refusing to accept a $1M prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute for doing so!
a rare moment where celeb worship meets an actual worthwhile human being. cognitive dissonance.
