Physics And Us

@OJoelsen Goodnight

Good night from Nuuk, Greenland 🇬🇱 April 13, 2026 (10:35pm) Temp: -7°C.

@JohnnyFSE Our justice system is "Made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people"

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities. You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free. I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded. It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇 Numbers don't lie, but criminals do. courtwatch.us @bennyjohnson @jockowillink @GrantCardone @LauraLoomer @nickshirleyy @j_fishback

@surfgoldbeaches As a physicist I don't understand at all why the board doesn't nosedive during a hang 10. Surfing is magic.

Her first wave at @ surfabudhabi, 3rd stop of the world longboard tour!

@elonmusk If Europe was real, you would only need one approval for all countries. If the transatlantic friendship was real, you wouldn't even need that

First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe! Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.

@jreichelt Germany is a leader in Earth observation (TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X satellites) and robot exploration (Philae lander on the Rosetta mission). Their launchpad is in French Guiana because from Germany you can't launch. They just put 32 Amazon internet satellites into orbit.

Man muss dieses Interview gesehen haben, um den vollständigen Realitätsverlust der Bundesregierung zu verstehen. Doro Bär behauptet, die USA wären bei der Raumfahrt abhängig von Deutschland (was zum letzen Mal halbwegs bei Wernher von Braun stimmte). Bär sagt: „Deutschland ist eine große Raumfahrernation, ohne uns geht es nicht zum Mond." Die USA sind vor 57 Jahren auf dem Mond gelandet, haben Space Shuttle gebaut, verfügen über das gewaltigste und leistungsstärkste Weltraumprogramm der Welt. Deutschland fährt seit Jahrzehnten per Anhalter durch die Galaxie. Wir haben keine Raketen, keine Abschussrampen. Unsere Raumfahrt besteht (auch Dank EU) vor allem aus Raumfahrtbürokratie. Natürlich gibt es tolle deutsche Unternehmen, die der US-Raumfahrt zuliefern. Aber was Doro Bär hier behauptet, ist ungefähr so, als würde der Herrscher des Tschad (wer auch immer das sein mag) sein Land als große Seefahrernation bezeichnen. Bedrückend an solchen Äußerungen ist vor allem das Menschenbild, das damit einhergeht. Doro Bär muss ja ernsthaft glauben, die Deutschen wären dumm genug, ihr abzunehmen, dass es ohne uns nicht zum Mond geht.

@abakcus Have been using tangent etc. for my whole life. Nobody ever explained to me where these names came from. Lifelong learning.

Every trig function, one triangle, one circle. No formulas, just geometry.

@henrytheduff @Eyalo365 No, this effect is reducing the reach by about 2% only

@Eyalo365 Oops - someone who doesn't understand rocket science. The rotation of the earth is 380 m/s at Iran's latitude. A missile launched to the east has a speed boost, to the west and you have to catch up. It's why orbital launches always go east. Iran cannot hit Europe.

Oops - someone does not know what a circle looks like and what happens if you move the center to North West Iran - it would cover Europe and Reach Berlin, Paris and London

@KI_Agent @SebastianVorb Auch im akademischen Bereich: "TU Berlin KI" googeln liefert nahezu nichts Konstruktives, sondern fast nur Kritik, Warnung, "Anleitungen", doomsday. Keine gute Motivation für den Nachwuchs.

Peter Steinberger mit der aktuell bedeutsamsten KI-Entwicklung OpenClaw zur Erstellung von KI-Agenten verlässt Europa. x.com/i/status/20254… @SebastianVorb: Wir hatten eine riesige Chance in Europa, ein Projekt mit großem Potential. Doch der Entwickler wurde gleich zu Beginn von Regulierung und Bedenkenträgern ausgebremst. Zukünftig kommt der KI-Agent eben aus den USA und wir werden wieder einmal nur die Konsumenten der KI, nicht deren Gestalter sein.

@JayV80 @CollinGrossWx Scrat

@CollinGrossWx Any clue what caused it?

Check this out! 👀🧊 Visible satellite imagery showing the massive ice sheet on Lake Erie cracking and breaking apart this afternoon!

@WhiteHouse Wow, one can make infinite amounts of 💊💊💊 🥳

@WhiteHouse And new 💊💊💊 can be spawned!

@codytfenwick I once looked into if prime number savants would know some secret algorithm. Turned out there's not a single rigorous scientific investigation into this phenomenon. All made up.

This piece on Oliver Sacks's deceptions is baffling. In retrospect, it seems hard to understand why these stories were even taken seriously.

@WIREDScience The first photograph of an exoplanet, 2M1207b orbiting a brown dwarf, was taken in 2004 using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. 21 years ago.

Even the best telescopes can’t see exoplanets. It’s all about watching for jiggly stars, blue shifts, and transits. wired.com/story/how-do-a…

@AstronomyVibes Hi I'm Zarquon. Sorry I'm a bit late.

🚨 What’s the scariest message we could receive if 3I/ATLAS turned out to be alien tech?

@liujiashuo77 @elonmusk It's simple / not simple: The more you know the past, the better you can predict the future

We built FutureX, the world’s first live benchmark for real future prediction — politics, economy, culture, sports, etc. Among 23 AI agents, #Grok4 ranked #1 🏆 Elon didn’t lie. @elonmusk your model sees further 🚀🍀 LeaderBoard: futurex-ai.github.io

Tomorrow's lottery numbers are: 3 6 9 12 34 37 (5). If you're lucky, you'll wake up in that parallel universe where this is going to be true.
