Important topic!

Spread the word! 

Science is being defunded around the world. Help us spread the importance of science, by sharing this video!

Despite our achievements, science and society are often at odds. Scientific discoveries like the Earth is round, that our planet revolves around the sun, or that diseases are spread through germs were all once ideas that were rejected by society. So much so that Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for suggesting the Earth wasn’t the centre of the universe, and even Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for supporting the theory. Today we see the rejection of scientific evidence for vaccinations - leading to preventable disease like measles coming back, after being wiped out in the year 2000; or the rejection of scientific evidence for climate change, despite the vast consensus among scientists.

Let’s spread our love of science further, so others can learn to understand and appreciate it! Your sharing is appreciated

Verkligen en vacker skapelse!

Golden rectangle

How the f could a human do something like that? I want to see a video of that guy in action.

His name:  Achim Leistner.

He is the master optician of the Avogadro project, an international effort to define the Avogadro constantwith maximum precision. He was asked to join the project from retirement as it was deemed that his expertise and craftsmanship were essential for the success of the project.

Here is a video: [x]

I just love nerds like this! Wow, you amaze me!

Here’s a time-lapse I took of my friend and I wrapping copper wire around our radio telescope antenna. 

If any of the other stages of the build process would make for interesting videos, I will try to post them as well.

Geometry apps!

I have stumble upon some of the neatest apps, for a person like me that love geometry, these apps are just what I’ve been looking for!

Euclidea:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id927914361 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.euclidea This app is only Euclidean geometry, that’s what I like the most. Appinfo: Euclidea is a brilliantly original way to learn about, explore and have fun with Euclidian Constructions! Your task is to solve interesting challenges by building geometric constructions with a straightedge and compass. If you design the most elegantly simple solutions in the least number of moves, you’ll earn the highest scores. Solutions are scored in lines (L) and elementary Euclidean constructions (E).

XSection:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xsection/id1069933287?mt=8 Haven’t found it on Android yet, but this app aims to learn you about Polyhedrons, cross sections and geometry. Appinfo: Learn how to construct cross sections of polyhedrons. Study different techniques, train yourself, and then solve geometric puzzles. 

Pythagorea:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pythagorea-geometry-on-square/id994864779?mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.pythagorea&hl=sv Just found this game, so I paste the appinfo: Pythagorea is a collection of geometric puzzles of different kind that can be solved without complex constructions or calculations. All objects are drawn on a grid whose cells are squares. A lot of levels can be solved using just your geometric intuition or by finding natural laws, regularity, and symmetry. 

Pythagorea60:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pythagorea-60-geometry-on/id1043064990?mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hil_hk.pythagorea60&hl=sv Just found this game, so I paste the appinfo: Pythagorea 60° is a collection of more than 270 geometric problems of different kind that can be solved without complex constructions or calculations. All objects are drawn on a grid whose cells are equilateral triangles. A lot of levels can be solved using just your geometric intuition or by finding natural laws, regularity, and symmetry. 

Horis International Limited

All these games are made from the same developer, Horis International Limited:  IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/horis-international-limited/id646324304 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=HORIS+INTERNATIONAL+LIMITED Big up, love this!

Hej Malin. Hoppas du förstår svenska, annars kommer det på engelska under. Har du kvar koden till denna? Skulle så gärna vilja se en loop. dra ner hastigheten på den lite och se detaljerna lite mer. Tack på förhand!

Hey Malin. I hope you understand swedish, in otherwise i’ll write it in english below. Do you still got the code for this one? I would like to see it in a loop and slow down the speed a bit, just to see more details. Thanks in advance! Take care!

Damn, yes, why wouldn’t you! Looks great!

idk, why wouldn’t I make these and post them

Hey IBM,  Always loved your posts. BUT THIS, you want people to drink milk from a cow? The milk is for the calf! Shame on you for spreading the lie that milk is good for the body. It’s proven that milk is not good for humans after the age of 12. Stop treat animals like they are made for us humans to abuse! There is no humane way to kill or inseminate another living creature! Hope this is your first and last post propagates for animal abuse!

Dairy DNA

Milk, it does a body good, and we want to make sure it stays that way. In order to help protect the safety of this ingredient found in so many foods, IBM and Cornell University are working on a way to monitor raw milk straight from the source. By sequencing the DNA and RNA of milk and its surrounding microbes, they hope to be able to instantly detect food safety hazards so they don’t have a chance to make it into your glass or onto your plate.

This, wow!

Impressive artwork.

Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) created Self Reflected to elucidate the nature of human consciousness, bridging the connection between the mysterious three pound macroscopic brain and the microscopic behavior of neurons. Self Reflected offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through a technique called reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art. Self Reflected was created to remind us that the most marvelous machine in the known universe is at the core of our being and is the root of our shared humanity.
