UW astronomers collect rare evidence of two planets colliding An oddly-behaving star led two UW astronomers to capture rare evidence of a collision between two planets in a distant solar system. The discovery could aid scientists in their search for worlds...

Proud πŸ”­ advisor day: @andyastro.bsky.social has a wonderful press release about his latest paper, finding one of the most interesting planet-collision candidates yet!

This Spacetime Quasicrystal Could Solve Physicists’ Biggest Problem
This Spacetime Quasicrystal Could Solve Physicists’ Biggest Problem YouTube video by Sabine Hossenfelder

What is space, really? That’s one of the biggest questions in science. According to a pair of researchers from the Perimeter Institute, the answer to that is: a quasicrystal. What is a quasicrystal, and how is space a quasicrystal? Let’s take a look.

This is Boulder Opal stone from Australia.
.
A type of gemstone that combines a host rock, usually ironstone or sandstone, and a precious opal. As the rock is forming, a silica compound containing water penetrates the rock, and deposits opal in the cracks.

What's the 'quantum metric' discussed in this article?

The state space β„‚Pⁿ has a KΓ€hler structure g + iΟ‰ (Riemannian metric + i times symplectic structure). Given any map from any manifold to β„‚Pⁿ, we can pull this back and get a 'quantum metric' on that manifold!

Now physicists are measuring it!

20yrs ago we knew of maybe a few thousand stellar rotation periods. Kepler/K2 was a massive step to about 50k. This is the next, and most dramatic leap in our understanding! Bravo!!!!

A young barmaid behind the bar at the famous French nightclub Folies-Bergère is staring forward in a bored, introspective way.  Behind her is a mirror which reflects the lively scene.  At the top left you see the green shoes of a trapeze artists.  More importantly, at right you see the back of the barmaid, and see that she is face to a man who leans close and seems to be requesting something.

This is Manet's famous painting "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère":

The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view!

But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible!

Meet β€œTech News World”, a Facebook page that recently pivoted from spamming the platform with AI-generated movie posters to spamming the platform with AI-generated videos of war in the Middle East.

Sadly, β€œTech News World” is not the only spammy account exploiting the violence for views and clicks.
