A physics/mathematics geek at heart though I make my living in technology (embedded devices). Some day I hope to be able to teach QFT.
1) My life is based on real events.
2) Can't believe I've literally phoned it in for over 3 yrs

I love this.
If you live anywhere in the dark blue areas, you are closer to outer space (defined by the Kármán line) than you are to the nearest seashore.

Fascinating graph shows the estimated total mass of all the mammals living on Earth.
In 1850, it was evenly divided between wildlife and humans + domesticated animals. Today, humans and their livestock account for about 95% of the total.

Fifteen years of radio observations yielded this amazing view down the throat of a black hole.
We're looking into a jet of plasma shooting out from a supermassive black hole, called PKS 1424+240. The lines depict intense magnetic fields threaded through the jet.

When a black hole jet is aimed directly at us, we see extremely energetic particles & radiation beamed our way.
In this case, PKS 1424+240, is so intense we can even see it in *neutrinos*.
Nero fiddled while Rome burnt.
History repeats itself.
