A Polling Miss Foretold: The Scottish Greens
"The Greens are running in 6 seats. [...]
Our 1000x model gives them a non-zero chance of winning all 6, although for Shetland it’s just about non-zero. Glasgow Kelvin & Maryhill and Edinburgh Central are favoured to go Green. Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith and Glasgow Southside are pure toss ups, with Edinburgh Northern being less likely."

Draußen hat's irgendwas um 263 Kelvin, und für mich persönlich ist das nahe schon nahe genug am absoluten Nullpunkt. 🥶 #sommerkind

Abstract: Vortex filaments are highly rotating localized structures of fluids that admits several types of excitation. Here, we study them by using numerical simulations of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We first address the propagation of Kelvin waves, helicoidal excitations propagating along the filament, and measure their dispersion relation which turns out to be in good agreement with the original Lord Kelvin predictions. Then, inspired by the connection between vortex line dynamics and an integrable system, we show numerically the existence of solitons propagating along vortex filaments and study the collision of two of such structures. Finally, we show numerically the experimental feasibility of studying vortex solitons in the lab, by proposing an experiment for their generation.

I second this! The repulsive language - and also having good memories of the big Let's-do-Apollo-again announcements of 1989, 2004 and so on with litte to show for in the end - contributes to my excitement level hovering in the low Kelvin range. But hey, let's sit and see where we (and China ... LOL) are at the end of 2028 - less than three years from now - when much of what was promised yesterday should already have happened.
