luke viia Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Quote The Romantics sought the sublime in everything: praising spirit, nature and the classical past with impassioned poetry and prose. And sometimes they found the sublime in a person, as was the case with their least-known, most-unexpected influence—a half-mad Englishman named John “Walking” Stewart. The Most Unlikely Man to Influence A Generation of Writers: Walking Stewart Spoiler Known as 'Walking' Stewart to his contemporaries for having travelled on foot from Madras, India (where he had worked as a clerk for the East India Company) back to Europe between 1765 and the mid-1790s, Stewart is thought to have walked alone across Persia, Abyssinia, Arabia, and Africa before wandering into every European country as far east as Russia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_Stewart 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak of the week Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Quote PSR J1748−2446ad is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, at 716 Hz (times per second),[2] or 43,000 revolutions per minute. At its equator it is spinning at approximately 24% of the speed of light, or over 70,000 km per second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J1748−2446ad By comparison, the Earth rotates more than 60 000 000 times slower. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlisuite Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 This is so fascinating; a family living deep in Siberian taiga, far away from any nearest settlement, completely isolated. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/for-40-years-this-russian-family-was-cut-off-from-all-human-contact-unaware-of-world-war-ii-7354256/ Quote But if the family’s isolation was hard to grasp, the unmitigated harshness of their lives was not. Traveling to the Lykov homestead on foot was astonishingly arduous, even with the help of a boat along the Abakan. On his first visit to the Lykovs, Peskov—who would appoint himself the family’s chief chronicler—noted that “we traversed 250 kilometres without seeing a single human dwelling!” Isolation made survival in the wilderness close to impossible. Dependent solely on their own resources, the Lykovs struggled to replace the few things they had brought into the taiga with them. They fashioned birch-bark galoshes in place of shoes. Clothes were patched and repatched until they fell apart, then replaced with hemp cloth grown from seed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This predates the earliest known burials by Homo sapiens by at least 100,000 years, suggesting that brain size might not be the definitive factor behind such complex behavior. The team also found crosshatched symbols engraved on the walls of the cave that could date as far back as 241,000–335,000 years, although testing is still ongoing. very interesting 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iococoi Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 ntrstng and open access.. Quote Representing noise: stacked plots and the contrasting diplomatic ambitions of radio astronomy and post-punk Quote Sketched in 1979 by graphic designer Peter Saville, the record sleeve of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures seemingly popularized one of the most celebrated radio-astronomical images: the ‘stacked plot’ of radio signals from a pulsar. However, the sleeve's designer did not have this promotion in mind. Instead, he deliberately muddled the message it originally conveyed in a typical post-punk act of artistic sabotage. In reconstructing the historical events associated with this subversive effort, this essay explores how, after its adoption as an imaging device utilized in radio astronomy, the stacked plot gave representation to the diplomacy agendas of two distinct groups ... https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-for-the-history-of-science/article/representing-noise-stacked-plots-and-the-contrasting-diplomatic-ambitions-of-radio-astronomy-and-postpunk/085E6BEDC4FD45EE330E23395E387F3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
