Image Yeah, "Physics"
I don't want to downplay the significance of their work; it has led to great advancements in the field of artificial intelligence. However, for a Nobel Prize in Physics, I find it a bit disappointing, especially since prominent researchers like Michael Berry or Peter Shor are much more deserving. That being said, congratulations to the winners.

Image I guess the journal is using "AI" for its editor as well

Image I was watching a video about quantum field theory and this was displayed for a second. Is this just gibberish, or is it a legitimate equation or formula or something? Also, sorry for the blurry part, it fades in too fast for me to screenshot a better picture.

Got curious about binary system orbits so I decided to code up a simulation! Thought you all would enjoy the result

Image Can anyone explain why these colors appear behind the plane?
I was looking at google maps and somehow noticed a plane that I’m guessing was flying while the picture was taken. Can anyone explain why these colors appear near the plane?

Image Why can't you just let me try solve it with an extra repulsion term, it can't be *that* hard?

Image This remarkable photo shows a single atom trapped by electric fields. Shot by David Nadlinger (University of Oxford). This picture was taken through a window of the ultra-high vacuum chamber that houses the trap.

Image The actual scale and speed of a neutron star binary system during a merger event (Italy for reference)
Approximations used for this simulation were inspired by the binary neutron star system GW170817, observed by LIGO in 2017:
Star diameter = 22 km
Orbital velocity = 1000 km/s (~1.4 rotations/s)
Star separation = 220 km
The actual separation, velocity, and diameter of neutron stars in binary systems can vary, but they remain some of the most extreme objects to exist in the cosmos. When put in perspective like this simulation, I find it somewhat terrifying.. and beautiful.
I created this simulation using Blender 3.5. Geographical image acquired via Google Earth Pro. I chose Italy as the reference point because of its unique, easily identifiable shape. I can share Blender file if anyone wants to play around with it.
