@fasc1nate Imagine being the natives hear before all this pollution and all. Being the first Brits like my ancestors arriving here must have been amazing to see man now the world is so small and dirty and owned

In 1969, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers temporarily stopped the water flow over the American Falls at Niagara Falls by building a rock cofferdam upstream. This exposed a dry canyon for the first time in millennia, revealing a huge pile of fallen boulders, scattered coins, lost artifacts, and even two human skeletons. The goal was to study erosion and stabilize the cliff before eventually restoring the water. With the falls dry, engineers documented the bare rock face and the massive talus pile at its base. The exposed riverbed created an eerie and silent scene, a stark contrast to the thunderous waterfall usually seen there. Workers installed anchors, examined the cliff, and considered removing debris, but ultimately decided the boulders were essential for maintaining the falls' shape. After about six months, the cofferdam was detonated in November 1969, allowing water to flow over the falls once again. More historical photos: bit.ly/3vlLOd6

@dutt_bhopal @PhysInHistory You enough to not know what you're talking about

@PhysInHistory Einstein was right in this account. Events are not probability. Heisenberg of uncertainty is his inability of resolution. Momentum and position as he opined can not be measured with accuracy ie it has an error. Just , ask what can be measured accurately beyond least count. ?

Werner Heisenberg on the famous 'Bohr-Einstein debate' 💭 Einstein was not prepared to let us do what, to him, amounted to pulling the ground from under his feet. Later in life, also, when quantum theory had long since become an integral part of modern physics, Einstein was unable to change his attitude—at best, he was prepared to accept the existence of quantum theory as a temporary expedient. "God does not throw dice" was his unshakable principle, one that he would not allow anybody to challenge. To which Bohr could only counter with: "Nor is it our business to prescribe to God how He should run the world." -- as mentioned in Ch. 6, Physics and Beyond (1969)

@ItsFleeceKing How dahell did you catch him with one pinap berry and one great curveball!?

MY FIRST SHADOW SHUNDO IN POKÉMON GO!!! 😭 😭 😭 And it had the special Tokyo background 🇯🇵 Still at a loss for words! My best catch of all time 🥳 💯 ✨ #PokemonGOFest2026

@_BRCooper @vintagemapstore Room temp IQ comment. You honestly think current Africa smashed by modernity resembled Africa from 2000 years ago? LMFAO!! Read up on Nero's expedition to find the source of the Nile and learn something

@vintagemapstore Sweet blissful ignorance.

@Sunni_in_SoCal @historyinmemes Wanting freedom is not betrayal

@historyinmemes The Arabs betrayed the Ottomans & the Ummah, the region has not scene Peace since!

The Ottoman train famously ambushed by Lawrence of Arabia during World War I on the Hejaz Railway still remains abandoned in the desert of Saudi Arabia today. The Hejaz Railway was one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects ever undertaken by the Ottoman Empire. Constructed in the early 1900s, the railway was meant to link Damascus with Medina, making the pilgrimage journey to Islam’s holy cities faster, safer, and easier for the empire to control. When World War I erupted, however, the railway became far more than a transportation route. It turned into a critical military lifeline, carrying Ottoman troops, weapons, supplies, and communications across the desert. That importance also made it one of the primary targets during the Arab Revolt. Lawrence of Arabia worked alongside Arab forces to organize repeated attacks against the railway. Their strategy was not to destroy the entire system outright, but to constantly disrupt it. Blown tracks, sabotaged bridges, and derailed trains forced the Ottomans into a draining cycle of repairs, consuming time, manpower, and resources on the very line meant to hold the region together. That is why the abandoned wreckage scattered across the desert still feels so haunting today. It is more than a rusting train left behind in the sand. It is a preserved fragment of a war fought through railways, deserts, collapsing empires, and rebellion. The Hejaz Railway was originally intended to extend all the way to Mecca, but the outbreak of World War I halted construction before the line could move beyond Medina.

@XitterZai @Ezekle1 @Dexerto Meh, actions/thriller/horror is played out. Finally, something different

@Ezekle1 @Dexerto wow this is terrible, like you could make an action/thriller/horror out of this style and they chose.. existentialism?

A full-length movie that was animated to look like a PS1 game has premiered at Cannes ‘Le Vertige’ was animated by five recent graduates using Blender, an iPhone, and a cheap app to capture the style

@space_univrs @PhysInHistory Is it, "Indian number theory", or is it actually, "number theory". Mathematics itself is universal, literally

This photograph quietly captures one of the greatest concentrations of mathematical brilliance in Indian history. At the center sits Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose intuitive understanding of numbers still astonishes mathematicians more than a century later. Beside him is K. Ananda Rao, who would go on to become a foundational figure in Indian number theory and mentor future scientific giants, including Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. What makes this image so powerful is realizing that many of these minds were shaping the future of mathematics long before modern computers, calculators, or AI existed. Just pure human intellect, curiosity, and obsession with understanding the universe through numbers 🧠📚

Mathematician K. Ananda Rao (seated far left), Srinivasa Ramanujan (seated middle at front), and other colleagues posing for a photograph, ca. 1917. Ananda Rao is known as the pioneer of the Indian school of number theory, after Ramanujan. Rao taught several prominent mathematicians and physicists in India including Dr. Subramanyam Chandrasekhar.

@thisisgh0st @Dexerto Exactly how will that be achieved?

@Dexerto Just get rid of ai slop

YouTube is rolling out automatic AI labels that will alert viewers when videos contain significant photorealistic AI-generated content

@jieun_oh20265 @Dexerto "Original AI-generated" is an oxymoron, emphasis on , "moron"

YouTube: “We’re rolling out automatic AI labels!” Meanwhile: Deleting original AI-generated channels like mine for “Spam” with zero warning and no real human review. You’re so focused on labeling AI content but can’t even protect creators who actually make original work. The system is still completely broken.

@ultramanjones @Tiger_Detective @PhysInHistory You calling one of the most brilliant mathematicians ever, an idiot?

@Tiger_Detective @PhysInHistory So take the prize and give it to Richard Hamilton. Protestors can be right idiots.

@monoparti @PhysInHistory I'll take your word for it

@PhysInHistory So c²=¹/μ⁰ε⁰ Therefore E/m = ¹/μ⁰ε⁰ μ⁰/m = E/ε⁰

The connections between electricity, magnetism, and the speed of light can be represented by the modern equation as :

@tarunvats33 *Laughs in OneUI 9.0 beta

Finally! Galaxy S24 FE gets One UI 8.5 Stable update in India Build: S721BXXUBDZDP / S721BOJMBDZDP / S721BXXUBDZDP

@Rogue_agent008 @OccOpinions @Sporadi10387103 @TheGalox_ Rumor is Samsung isn't happy with the durability of silicone carbon batteries, but that they're close to getting the right formula to meet their standards. Maybe the S27U will have it

@OccOpinions @Sporadi10387103 @TheGalox_ I agree they need to fuck off with using Lithium ion batteries otherwise they will be gone from the market it's not that expensive to put a Sillicon Carbon battery into a new ultra model tbh.

Already seeing features cut from the Galaxy S27 series. Samsung needs to realize that they can't cut costs more than they already have on the Galaxy S27 series without going back to declining sales. All we ask is bigger batteries and better cameras. Probably a $10 per unit or less investment by Samsung that they can't keep delaying.

@ryderjj89 @WindowsCentral I've had mine for a year with no issues, BUT, my previous one was not so durable. I get where you're coming from though

@WindowsCentral Not gonna matter if the sticks aren't TMR or hall and the bumpers aren't better. Not buying a controller that shits the bed after 3 months.

The Xbox Elite Controller Series 3 just leaked, and it looks like Microsoft is gearing up for a serious upgrade. New images show added scroll wheels near the headphone jack, opening the door for deeper in‑game control. Even more intriguing is a switch between local and cloud modes, hinting at direct Wi‑Fi connectivity for smoother Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft also appears to be introducing a user‑replaceable rechargeable battery... FINALLY! Hopefully, those pesky durability issues that plagued the previous generation controllers have been fixed too windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xb…

@NRN__098 @nafas21666146 @drpezeshkian Lol. Sorry to tell you, but the supposed, "terrorist organization occupying Iran" 100% came FROM THE PEOPLE. The current government isn't a foreign power that took over, it's completely home grown

@nafas21666146 @drpezeshkian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 #FreeIran‌ #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran #DigitalBlackOutIran‌

Asia's oldest living organism, the ancient Abarkuh cypress tree - at least 4500 years old - is rooted in land that was already known as Iran at the time.

@rmanzo77 @tarunvats33 I'm trying out OneUI 9 beta on my S26 Ultra, a few very minor bugs, everything else runs great

@tarunvats33 I have the S26 Ultra, can't wait for the 9.0 to be released. But realistically, probably gonna be at launch of the S27 series,

Samsung really impressed this time In the last 4 years, we never saw a situation where the first beta build was spotted on May 6 and just one week later, on May 13, Samsung officially released the One UI 9 Beta. Samsung has truly come a long way in software updates

@AhsanAl48219184 @thesammyfans Lol, you clearly didn't experience the TouchWiz days. OneUI is FAAAAAAR better these days, dare I say OneUI is actually GOOD

@thesammyfans Samsung is failure in software update

One UI 8.5 remained five months in Public Beta, yet the Stable update doesn’t seem perfect, as users are still facing the giant icon problem. sammyfans.com/2026/05/15/sta…

@director_nat @Rainmaker1973 You believe what ever you want, whatever helps you sleep at night. The rest of the educated world will continue to build on the VAST VOLUMES of verifiable knowledge of evolution

@Rainmaker1973 Things were bigger not too long ago. Huge bears, huge deer, huge penguins, huge dogs, huge birds, huge bugs, etc. But you still believe in millions of years and evolution. 🙄

The largest-ever fossil of a giant millipede, as big as a car, has been found on a beach in the north of England. The fossil, the remains of a creature called Arthropleura, dates from the Carboniferous Period, about 326 million years ago.

@dez_blanchfield @simongerman600 This is reaching astronomical levels of ignorance. Either you're trolling or have never read up on even a basic level of history 🤦
