With the detection of the Higgs boson,
the standard model is an almost complete theory.
Missing from the model is a massless spin-two boson, the graviton.
We might reasonably expect that detection of gravitational radiation would include the observation of the graviton as the quanta of the radiation.
However, the connection between gravitational radiation observations and the theoretical graviton has yet to be realized due to the physical limitations on single-gravit…

So glad to see Trump's constant push for destroying the planet comes back to bite him on his "special day"

The FBI says that anti-capitalist graffiti can indicate a mobilization to violence and can be reported to the bureau,
according to a counterterrorism report obtained through a public records request.
The public safety awareness report, dated Jan. 30, states that “anarchist violent extremists,” dubbed AVEs by the FBI, “pose [a] persistent public safety threat.”
Among the activities the report claims are “potential indicators of AVE ['anarchist violent extremist'] mob…

Die Werkstatt der Empörung
Wer eine Weile in den Kommentarspalten rechter und rechtsextremer Seiten unterwegs ist, macht eine ernüchternde Entdeckung: Das, was wie spontane Bauchwut aussieht, ist Handwerk. Die Empörung ist nicht chaotisch, sondern bemerkenswert gleichförmig gebaut.

Autofahrer greift Feuerwehrleute im Rettungseinsatz an. Innenministerin kritisiert die Tat. Ich hoffe, die Staatsanwaltschaft erkennt hier nicht auch wieder fehlendes öffentliches Interesse.

Since a while, whenever I wanted to open social media for distraction, I just grabbed my eBook reader and read some pages ... and oh boy - this gave quite some progress with my reading!!
I am at s.th between 15 and 20 books this year already ... the library pass really pays off!

Materials in lithium-ion battery cathodes have continuously evolved since the 1990s,
but anodes have stubbornly remained graphite.
Now, finally, there’s some innovation on that side: silicon anodes,
which engineers have struggled to master for a decade,
are finally coming into wide commercialization.
They enable up to five times the energy density of graphite anodes,
charge many times faster,
and are poised to revolutionize the battery market

Everyone with a checkbook understands how to get what they want from Donald Trump
-- and that is to pay him.
When he owned a hotel in Washington, the place was constantly booked during his presidency.
As soon as he left office in 2021, the vacancy sign turned on.
Memberships in his tacky golf resorts increase, as well as the fees, while he’s president.
After he leaves office, they drop off.
Since re-entering office in January 2025, Trump has made huge bus…
