∑FEETc: Divisor Matrix Table (DMT) 18, digital painting, June 18, 2025, Reginald Brooks

∑FEETc

*Fractal

*Entanglement

*Entropy

*Time

*Consciousness

*Begs the question: What is the relationship between sleep & time? And while you are at it, how about between space & time?

My own idiosyncratic take: no space without time, no time without space (space = extension, displacement(d) -- 1D=line=d, 2D=area=d^2 , 3D=volume=d^3, 4D=vol. as 1D line=d^4, 5D=vol. as 2D area=d^5, 6D=vol..as D vol=d^6... -- and, time = 1/v = 1/frequency, where the frequency is literally the rate -- velocity -- that "d" is presented, i.e. pulse-propagated into and out of our ordinary view. In ∑FEETc, time is perceived as the the fractal presentation of spacetime (ST) -- and its natural entanglement with other ST pulse-propagations -- begins to become so vast and inter-connected that we perceive it as an increase in disorder -- a.k.a. entropy. That perception is, indeed, the foundation of what we become aware of -- and, as -- consciousness. Perceptual time is that that results from our perception of change -- change in the amount or degree of order. Any such perception of time lands one on the spectrum of consciousness. Just reading this has probably resulted in your realization that you may have "wasted" your time! But to continue: As physical time only exists with spatial extension -- intimately linked as ST -- your perceptual time awareness reflects your behind the scenes -- subconscious -- awareness of the change in ST itself. It's a bit like seeing colors in the EM spectrum of light energies. You perceive certain photon wave energies as particular colors, while the physical properties are without perception, but not without information, i.e. the Universe always knows -- thus the Conservation Laws, like the Conservation of Energy -- Charge -- Momentum -- SpaceTime -- and one could argue that information is perception in the larger sense, but the point here is that on the local level, we perceive that information on a "need to know" watered-down presentation required for our present needs -- otherwise we could see all the other colors of the EM spectrum, not just that tiny little window that has evolved so that we might be here wondering what the hell else are we missing out on!). Sleep on it. Always the most productive!

Fragments in the Sun

As THIS event with @caedun was wrapping up. Somewhere in Hallowfall. The warlock dismissed his remote connection over the Illidari who'd given him the thumbs up, and focused back on the sight in front of him. It was foolish to scry over such a distance in the middle of a fight. The Arathi man scrambling to reload his long gun not even twenty feet away to his right in the tall swaying grass. It didn't take a genius to figure out how someone who was trained and drilled to bunker down for hours or days at a time between shifts in Beledar's light would be hookwinked by a sayaad into being little more then a plaything and pawn while locked in the room with a beautiful stranger.

The sayaad seven and a half feet away on its back, writhing desperately to get away, to move at all, from the warlock who'd been hounding it for weeks. "No, see, he's just fine." Nixalegos said in response to the demons taunt that the Illidari had been sundered flesh from soul and serving as...entertainment as the shimmer of etheric plasma shelling surrounding him flickered back into non-existence. It's honeycomb layers of solid light a retrofitted Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator and barrier generator of Draenic design working in conjunction with kinetic displacement radar. In short, the bullet was too fast, kicking his shield on autonomously before he could even be struck. "I could let you see how he mangled your compatriot. Very good at what he does." He said dryly, but bearing no shortage of mocking amusement. "Fuck you." The sayaad said, spitting blood into the grass as it sought to push itself back up and failed. "I'm not going to serve you. We're going to skin you alive and use your soul as fuel for our sisters. So kill me and be done with it." It said defiantly as it could, unable to pick their chin up. Another bullet rang out, the sizable mass of lead and ironclaw struck a figment of photons and sparked off. The warlock merely continued, turned his claw tipped metal clad fingers around as if spinning a non-existent dial slowly. The demon groaned in pain. "The Cracked Core. At first I thought it a clever name. Sayaads making instant devotees with falsified Earthen memory cores. Brilliant, brilliant work. And to leave the soul MOSTLY innocent during the process? To be harvested or sacrificed by the delusional who didn't know what they were giving up? A masterstroke." The warlock said coming closer to the fallen demon. A third bullet flickered the air next to the warlocks cowled head, causing his attention to pivot. The honeycomb splay of light now held cracks. The repeated impacts using up too much battery. Must of been a hell of a gun those Arathi were issued as stock rifles. "Ok. I'm done indulging the hired help. Get up and bring your little minion over." He ordered, his order just that, a note of command in his tone. "No, NO! STOP!" The sayaad said as it's limbs moved against the demons internal struggling. Propping itself up and off the ground like a marionette like strings. The warlock watched the echoes of dark chains wrapped around the demons limbs and around its throat, compelling, forcing it to move for him, to obey his command. The subjugation flawless.

"CHARLES. CHARLES PLEASE." The demon said, using the one muscle it still had control over as it gestured with its clawed hands to come closer, its hips taking on a little tilt it had used the night it had seduced the innocent and woefully uneducated Arathi footsoldier into following a darkness that had nothing to do with the void and everything to do with the swells of its voluptuous figure.

"Baby! BABY. SHOOT ME. KILL ME!" The demon pleaded, it's only escape being denied as the confused half elf lowered its gun from the unholy compulsion it in turn was being used on them. Warlock compelling demon. Demon compelling victim. A tale as old as time. "KILL ME YOU DUMB FUCK BASTARD." The demon begged in impotent fury as its too potent charms denied them the dignity of suicide by minion. "No shortage of good men and women to harvest for summoning reagents in Hallowfall huh?" The Sin'dorei said as 'Charles' marched closer towards the sayaad whos face screamed 'fuck you' and whos body language screamed 'fuck me'. "But why oh why, would you EVER go to all that trouble to summon competition? Knock the gun out his hands before you choke him to death." The warlock added dryly. The backhand of a graceful limb into cold steel was followed by warm hands gripping a nervously excited sweat slicked neck. The otherworldly seduction over the Arathi's wits and whereabouts at last broken to the realization its Mistress was killing him. "There's no love among your kind. No comradery. Sure, you kept the secrets of the incubus form hidden for us mortals for generations, but all this preparation? All this reinforcing of an instant officer core, supply routes, widespread distribution of leadership, recruitment of locals?" Nixalegos said as he stepped closer, watched the Arathi fall to his knees with his former 'lover' still gripping on as if they'd never left the bed that morning. The half human didn't seem quite able to break the grip. Or perhaps they didn't want to. It was difficult to tell. "You claim the others were sisters. Sisters. A curious choice of words. The Cracked Cores real purpose is to summon your Mother." The warlock accused as the man went limp, and the demon kept strangling in the tall grass. "And the window to pull them to Azeroth without overt attention is closing soon. Isn't it?" He said as he twisted his hand a little harder. The demon snarled, and a mortals neck gave off a sickening crunch noise. "Give me their name, and I'll send you back to the Nether soul intact instead of stuffed in a gem or worse." He said without humor nor bluff. "Maybe I'll just give your soul over to that Illidari. See if they have room for dessert." He threatened. A demon sobbed over the corpse, a name was whispered. A second sickening crunch of a neck being snapped was lost among the grass.

eROSITA survey unveils asymmetries in temperature and shape of our Local Hot Bubble

Our solar system dwells in a low-density environment called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB), filled by a tenuous, million-degree hot gas emitting dominantly in soft X-rays. A team led by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) used the eROSITA All-Sky Survey data and found a large-scale temperature gradient in this bubble, possibly linked with past supernova explosions that expanded and reheated the bubble.

The wealth of the eROSITA data also allowed the team to create a new 3D model of the hot gas in the solar neighborhood. The highlight of this work features the discovery of a new interstellar tunnel towards the constellation Centaurus, potentially joining our LHB with a neighboring superbubble. The research is published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

The idea of the LHB has been around for about half a century, first developed to explain the ubiquitous X-ray background below 0.2 keV. Photons of such energies cannot travel very far in the interstellar medium before they are absorbed. In conjunction with the observation that there is almost no interstellar dust in our immediate environment, the scenario where a soft X-ray emitting plasma displaces the neutral materials in the solar neighborhood, forming the "Local Hot Bubble," was put forth.

This understanding of our immediate environment was not without its challenges, especially after the discovery of the solar wind charge exchange process in 1996—an interaction between the solar wind ions and neutral atoms within the Earth's geocorona and the heliosphere that emits X-rays at similar energies as the LHB. After years of analysis, the consensus now is that both contribute to the soft X-ray background, and the LHB must exist to explain the observations.

The eROSITA telescope is the first X-ray observatory to observe the sky from an orbit completely external to the Earth's geocorona, avoiding the latter's contamination. Also, the timing of the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS1) coincided with the solar minimum, significantly reducing the heliospheric solar wind charge exchange contamination.

"In other words, the eRASS1 data released to the public this year provides the cleanest view of the X-ray sky to date, making it the perfect instrument for studying the LHB," says Michael Yeung from MPE, the lead author of this work.

eROSITA's unparalleled X-ray observations

The team divided the western Galactic hemisphere into about 2,000 regions and extracted and analyzed the spectra from each one. They also leveraged data from ROSAT, the predecessor of eROSITA built also by MPE, which complements the eROSITA spectra at energies lower than 0.2 keV.

They found a clear temperature dichotomy in the LHB, with the Galactic South (0.12 keV; 1.4 MK) slightly hotter than the Galactic North (0.10 keV; 1.2 MK). This feature could be explained by the latest numerical simulations of the LHB caused by supernova explosions in the last few million years.

Diffuse X-ray background spectra inform scientists not just of the temperature but also of the 3D structure of the hot gas. Previous work by the same team has established that the density of the LHB is relatively uniform, calibrating the density of the hot gas with sight lines to giant molecular clouds located on the surface of the LHB.

Relying on this assumption, they generated a new 3D model of the LHB from the measured intensity of the LHB emission in each sight line. They found the LHB has a larger extent towards the Galactic poles as expected, as the hot gas prefers to expand towards directions of the least resistance, away from the Galactic disk.

"This is not surprising, as was already found by the ROSAT survey," pointed out by Michael Freyberg, a core author of this work who was also a part of the pioneering work in the ROSAT era three decades ago.

"What we didn't know was the existence of an interstellar tunnel towards Centaurus, which carves a gap in the cooler interstellar medium (ISM). This region stands out in stark relief thanks to the much-improved sensitivity of eROSITA and a vastly different surveying strategy compared to ROSAT," added Freyberg.

The authors of this work suggest the Centaurus tunnel may just be a local example of a wider hot ISM network sustained by stellar feedback across the galaxy—a popular idea proposed in the 70s that remains difficult to prove.

A 3D model of the solar neighborhood

In addition to the 3D LHB model, the team compiled a list of known supernova remnants, superbubbles, and 3D dust information from the literature and created an interactive 3D model of the solar neighborhood.

Some features of the LHB could be easily appreciated from such a representation, for instance, the well-known Canis Majoris tunnel on the Galactic disk, possibly connecting the LHB to the Gum nebula or another superbubble (called GSH238+00+09), as well as dense molecular clouds (in orange) lying close to the surface of the LHB in the direction of the Galactic Center (GC).

Recent works found that these clouds possess velocities in the radial direction (away from us). The location and the velocity of the clouds could be explained if they were formed from the condensation of swept-up materials during the early stage of the LHB formation.

"Another interesting fact is that the sun must have entered the LHB a few million years ago, a short time compared to the age of the sun, remarked Gabriele Ponti, a co-author of this work. "It is purely coincidental that the sun seems to occupy a relatively central position in the LHB as we continuously move through the Milky Way."

Solar panels actually work more efficiently in the cold! the way that they work is that photons from the sun displace electrons in the modules, which then become the electricity. In the heat, all of the molecules are vibrating a little faster than usual anyway, which inhibits the electron displacement.

Okay also I’ve been driving electric cars long enough now to be really emphatic that the fact that they’re not all automatically built with solar panels in the roofs is a scandal.

And somehow almost every time I tell anyone this they roll their eyes and attempt to explain to me that this would not create a perpetual motion machine because of the limitations of the area relative to the power draw of the motor, which is incredibly annoying because that’s not the point.

Yes it’s possible that driving in the sunshine with a solar collector dripping into the battery would net you a little more mileage on that trip before needing recharge, but the usefulness of a solar-topped electric car is that if you drive it someplace–say, to work–and leave it outside in the sun all day, you’ll definitely have more range available by the time you’re ready to head home.

Also if you fuck up your calculations because of the inefficiency induced by cold weather or something and get yourself stranded without anywhere to charge, like halfway up a mountain or, more likely, six miles from home, you can call for rescue or walk away, come back later, and it’ll be able to move again.

This is important because unlike running out of gas you can’t really go get some electricity.

Advances In Quantum Metrology With Bosonic Noisy Systems 

Advances in Quantum Metrology

A recent study reveals how to optimise time and energy to make ultra-precise measurements in the presence of quantum noise in quantum sensors. This groundbreaking study provides a “blueprint for designing efficient quantum sensors under realistic conditions” that shows when advanced quantum resources are valuable and when basic conventional instruments are sufficient.

Quantum Metrology: Promise and Challenge

Quantum metrology accelerates technology by measuring precisely via entanglement and superposition. Quantum technologies could revolutionize sensing and measuring, but practical issues remain. Because  quantum computing, is noisy, time and energy constraints often limit its performance. Using unlimited resources to attain infinite precision in finite time for infinite-dimensional probes like a bosonic mode is unphysical. Because of this, the probe's average energy use must be limited.

“How should it optimally allocate time and energy to measure physical parameters as accurately as possible in noisy quantum systems?” is the study's main question. The paper analyses a well-known model: a single light mode (the “bosonic mode”) interacting with a temperature environment. Experimental platforms like optical cavities and superconducting circuits benefit from this design.

Timing and Energy in Resource Allocation

Time and average energy (photons) are crucial to researchers. In noise, they identified a “nontrivial interplay between the average energy and the time devoted to the estimation”. Heisenberg scaling, which scales precision quadratically with time and energy in noiseless settings, rarely holds in noisy situations. Quantum advantage often decreases to a constant factor dependent on noise type and degree.

This study emphasises the importance of considering time as a resource, which theoretical frameworks often overlook. For noisy systems, where the quadratic scaling of precision with time is usually lost for long durations, it is generally more effective to split the whole available time into ideal shorter measurement windows and repeat the experiment. This technique requires balancing quantum entanglement's benefits with a longer evolution period.

When Quantum Resources Are Brilliant

The work analysed parameter estimates for several parameter types to develop basic measurement precision constraints that apply to all quantum techniques, independent of complexity. It also found suitable protocols for these purposes, often without complex adaptive systems or external ancillae.

Estimating different parameters yields significant differences:

Hamiltonian Parameters for Frequency and Displacement Estimation:

The study found that “simple strategies using classical light and basic measurements are surprisingly nearly optimal, especially when the total sensing time is sufficiently long” for frequency or displacement.

Coherent states and continuous cavity output measurement can approximate frequency over long periods of time almost to the theoretical limits. Nonclassical light is only useful when probing time is very limited. This shows that coherent light continuous photodetection is best if the measurement period is much longer than the system's relaxation time.

The average photon count does not affect displacement estimation precision. Again, choose an ideal repeat duration to get near-optimal performance without squeezing.

Estimating Temperature and Loss Rate for Noise:

However, “nonclassical states of light (like Fock states or two-mode squeezed states) become essential to achieve a genuine quantum advantage” when forecasting noise-related parameters like temperature or loss rate. These parameters' optimal iteration time may be infinitely short, and Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) rises exponentially with time.

At low temperatures, coherent light can estimate loss rate well, but at high temperatures, it fails. This paper shows that a squeezed vacuum state and parity measurement can efficiently saturated the accuracy bound for this assignment. This method is useful because parity measurement can be a quantum non-demolition measurement.

For temperature estimate, coherent states are no better than vacuums. Therefore, a nonclassical light state is needed for good temperature scaling. The study found that a “fast-prepare-and-measure protocol using Fock states provides better scaling with the number of photons than any classical strategy,” saturating fundamental precision constraints and considerably improving precision. A two-mode squeezed vacuum input state with a noiseless ancilla can saturate the bound, while a single-mode squeezed state cannot.

Squeezing Estimate:

No classical analogue exists for this parameter. The study proposes a novel method using cat-state-based bosonic error-correction codes. This improved approach achieves quadratic precision scaling with the average number of photons. This has a major advantage over other estimating kinds, where scaling is constrained.

Future Quantum Technology Implications

Researchers and engineers working on quantum sensors can use the findings as a guide. Outlining “when quantum resources are truly beneficial and when simpler tools suffice” helps construct quantum technologies more efficiently and precisely.

By emphasising time as a scarce resource and analysing numerous parameter types, the study lays the groundwork for quantum sensing, thermometry, and open quantum system dynamics. The discovery that optimal performance is often achieved with simple passive protocols, without the need for complex adaptive systems or entanglement with external ancillae, is a promising step towards quantum sensor deployment. This study shows how quantum metrology's fundamental restrictions can affect protocol and sensing device development.

Lost Light 4-6

Lost Light 4

they fucking figure out it's a ruse immediately lmAO like I said, Six-of-Twelve really just slapped together a fake alt mode for Rung

absolutely hilarious that out of the CyWhirlGate trifecta, Whirl is the one who's the best at communicating

ah yes, this argument lmAO it's funny, now I know that both Megatron and Rodimus are right about each other, Rodimus wants to get his revenge on Getaway as soon as possible and Megatron wants to put off his judgment at the hands of the Knights of Cybertron, but I remember when this first came out, I had full faith in Rodimus that he wasn't trying to brush off all this functionist universe stuff just to get out of here as quickly as he could. Granted, he snapped out of it quick but I was real loud about how I believed he never considered it in the first place lmAO rip to my past self, it's not your fault Roddy had a moment of weakness

honestly I'm impressed with how quick Anode and Lug became interesting characters, both as individuals and in terms of the overarching lore, like I said, blacksmiths are such a cool concept and also Anode is a likable person and she and Lug play off each other really well

“No one is telling anyone anything. Ever.” YEAH THEY SURE AREN'T, THAT'S THE PROBLEM

“I don't think you're trying to avoid your trial.” oh Minimus... honestly I think this also made me want to take Roddy's side even harder lmAO because I knew for certain that Megatron DID want to avoid it, he literally said so back when we first found the Necrobot planet, which made Megatron getting stuck here at the end of this arc even harder to swallow. It was definitely one of the things that tested my faith in this comic and made a lot of people bail

fhdasjk Roddy is so fuckin done with this shit and he is so right to resort to grade school tactics to stop Six-of-Twelve from monologuing, shut your fuck up, dunkass

honestly good for Whirl for letting Tailgate know what's up, somebody's gotta tell that guy what's going on

Lost Light 5

hfghjdk good on Nightbeat for at least trying to get Rung to open up but also don't take up the whole couch you ass

aww Rung honey...

good for Ratchet for managing to bluff successfully this time lmAO

also really love Ratchet smirking while Rung tells off the Functionist Council

love Cyclonus being a good leader to everyone, Roddy was right to put him in charge while the rest of the command staff are away

photonic crystal, that's what Rung coughed up. Also aww man, the fact that he started making them as a physiological response to an intolerable psychological burden... losing Skids tore him up bad........

“I woke up after being spiked” a HEE HEE HOO

“You're not accountable to them- You're accountable to your conscience.” “They ARE my conscience.” oooOOOUGFHDG *POINTS AT MEGATRON* HA HA YOU CARE ABOUT THEM... god and him specifically naming Rodimus and Minimus, not Magnus, Minimus

“If it's not the Decepticons, it's the Functionists... We can't help turning our hate outwards.” I've said it before but truly it is fucked up that Megatron or no Megatron, the universe was always destined to suffer at the hands of Cybertronians. Funny though that for this universe, Megatron is going to end the suffering before it extends beyond Cybertron

Lost Light 6

there we go, there's my boy Roddy coming back to himself. Shame he had to punch out the world's most rickety old man first but it's fine, he can take it lmAO

I'll be real, the entire time we were having that big fight on the Necrobot planet and using the spark flowers to generate the force field, I was thinking about this moment where Anode realizes she can use the flower with Lug's residual spark energy in it to bring Lug back, like. She's real lucky Lug's flower wasn't one of the ones that got blown up or used as fuel lmAO

Rung mass displacing himself to be big enough to punch the moon is still simultaneously really cool and extremely funny

I do like this little bit of dialogue between Clicker and Megatron, talking about how the opposite of functionism isn't lack of function, it's choice

oof, fucked up that Rodimus puts his trust in Megatron despite himself and Megatron ends up breaking it. Not on purpose, it's Terminus that tricks him into going to the wrong rendezvous point, but Roddy doesn't know that

man poor Roddy is just going through it right now, all these motherfuckers betraying his trust, purposefully or not

awww Ratchet hugging Rung is still so sweet, I like how it's the first thing he does, just makes a beeline for Rung and lets him know he loves him

see, now I can appreciate this moment of Megatron being able to do things over in the functionst universe, changing Cybertron the way he wanted to in the beginning, but boy was it easy to think this was the end of Megatron's arc and we were never gonna see him again lmAO This was definitely one of the things that tested my faith in this comic, I did not like the idea of Megatron escaping judgment for everything he did in his own universe, like yeah sure he's changed but he has simply done too much to justify being gifted a second chance like this without ever answering for anything he did. But now, knowing that he does come back, I can handle him being given this second chance and then coming back and answering for his crimes lmAO in fact I like that a lot, he gets to finally do the kind of good he always wanted to do without it affecting his judgment or erasing all the bad he did before

Dissecting the Intricacies: Investigating the Mechanisms Underpinning Common Wonders

Mechanics is the unseen conductor in the grand scheme of things, arranging the motions of planets and stars as well as the details of our daily existence. Everything is governed by mechanics, from the elegant dance of planets to the commonplace but necessary operations of machinery. In this investigation, we dissect the layers of intricacy to reveal the underlying ideas that power existence's machinery.

Fundamentally, mechanics is the area of physics that studies how physical bodies behave under various forces or displacements and how those behaviors affect their surroundings. It includes both quantum mechanics, which explores the extremely microscopic, where particles exhibit behaviors that defy traditional intuition, and classical mechanics, which deals with macroscopic objects traveling at speeds much slower than the speed of light.

Sir Isaac Newton's explanation of classical mechanics in the 17th century set the foundation for our knowledge of motion. The foundation of classical mechanics is Newton's three laws of motion, which offer a framework for explaining how things behave when subjected to forces. According to the first law, unless an outside force acts upon an object, it will continue to be at rest or move uniformly. This relationship is quantified by the second law, which states that an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the net force acting upon it. The third law, which states that there is an equal and opposite reaction to every action, finally summarizes the idea of action and reaction.

These rules apply to a wide range of situations, including projectile trajectory and the migration of celestial bodies in vast stretches of space. Classical mechanics gives the mathematical foundation to comprehend and predict various events, such as the soft sway of a pendulum or the thundering roar of a rocket speeding towards the heavens. But when we continue to probe the structure of reality, classical mechanics starts to break down. The game's rules alter at the subatomic scale, giving rise to the mysterious field of quantum mechanics. Particles like electrons and photons behave in this way in a way that goes against conventional wisdom. Our comprehension of the essential essence of reality is put to the test by ideas such as quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Many contemporary technologies, including nuclear reactors and semiconductor devices used in electronics, are based on the ideas of quantum mechanics. The foundation of modern physics and engineering is provided by its mathematical formalism, which makes it possible to build cutting-edge technologies that have a significant impact on our daily lives. Mechanics is not limited to physics; it permeates every facet of our everyday existence. Mechanical principles are the foundation upon which our contemporary society is formed, from the basic devices that make home chores easier to the intricate workings of vehicle engines and aerospace propulsion systems.

One of the six traditional simple machines is the common lever. The lever's capacity to increase force finds use in a wide range of equipment, including seesaws and crowbars. We can accomplish things with this little apparatus that would be impossible to do with just physical force if we grasp its dynamics. When it comes to the construction and management of land, marine, and airborne autos, mechanics is paramount. For these systems to operate effectively, dependably, and safely—whether they are jet turbines that power airplanes or combustion engines that power cars—a thorough understanding of mechanics is required.

In the field of biology as well, mechanics is essential. The human body, with its interconnected system of muscles, tendons, and bones, is a mechanical engineering marvel. The goal of the multidisciplinary study of biomechanics is to comprehend how living things interact with their surroundings and how biological processes are governed by mechanical principles. It does this by fusing the concepts of mechanics with biology, physiology, and anatomy.

In summary, mechanics is the invisible hand that directs the motion of the universe and the complex devices we use on a daily basis. Mechanics is the thread that weaves the fabric of existence together, from the celestial ballet of planets to the inner workings of the atom, from the basic machines that lighten our burdens to the wonders of modern technology. We have the power to change the world and push the bounds of what is feasible as we continue to solve its mysteries.

The Sciences

Approximately 13.7 aeons ago, the infinitesimal, primeval singularity underwent an explosion of space itself. After a hundred billionth of a yoctosecond passed, the temperature of the universe was 1,800 trillion trillion degrees Fahrenheit.

A quadrillion is ten to the fifteenth power, or a 1 with 15 zeroes after it. A quintillion is 10 the 18th power. A sextillion is 10 to the 21st power. A septillion is 10 to the 24th power. An octillion is 10 to the 27th power. A vigintillion is 10 to the 63rd power. A centillion is 10 to the 303rd power.

It was the Italian astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei who said "science is written in the language of mathematics." Galileo is considered the father of modern science and is known for refining the invention of the telescope.

A chronon is a billionth of a trillionth of a second, the time it takes for a photon (a quantum of light) to cross the width of an electron at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second. A yoctosecond is a septillionth of a second. A zeptosecond is a sextillionth of a second. An attosecond is a quintillionth of a second. A femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second. A picosecond is a trillionth of a second. A nanosecond is a billionth of a second. A microsecond is a millionth of a second. A millisecond is a thousandth of a second. In astronomy and geology, an aeon is a billion years.

A light-year is about 5.9 trillion miles. With the exception of the sun, the nearest star is proxima centauri and it is 4.24 light-years away. The large magellanic cloud is 179,000 light-years away. The virgo cluster is 60 million light-years away. The nearest quasar is 1 billion light-years away. The edge of the visible universe is 13.7 billion light-years away.

Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is 16.6 miles long and Deimos is 9.3 miles long. Deimos is two and a half times farther away from Mars than Phobos. Jupiter has 63 moons. Uranus has 27 moons.

Sir Isaac Newton, an Englishman, and Gotffried Wilhelm von Leibniz, a German, invented calculus. The word "algorithm", which is a step-by-step process for solving a problem, comes from the Muslims. The Muslims invented algebra. Pythagoras came up with the Pythagorean theorem, which uses the equation A squared plus B squared equals C squared to find the hypotenuse of a triangle. The medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci is the namesake of the Fibonacci sequence, which is a string of numbers in which the two preceding numbers add up to the following number. An example of this would be the following: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, and so on.

Absolute zero is negative 460 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 273 degrees Celsius, the point at which there is a total absence of thermal energy and matter stops moving. Under different circumstances, displacements transpire, which generates kinetic energy.

This planet is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. There is a theory which postulates that early on in our universe's history, a large amount of matter annihilated itself with antimatter.

One theory for how life began posits that there was a primordial soup of amino acids and molecules collided until the right combination came together to form life. Evolutionary biology asserts that life began in the ocean.

Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small.

According to Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one cannot be sure of both the position and velocity of a particle. The four fundamental forces of physics are the electromagnetic force, the gravitational force, the strong nuclear interaction, and the weak nuclear interaction. Each force is carried by and/or corresponds with an elementary boson. The names of the elementary bosons are the graviton, the gluon, the virtual photon, and the W and Z bosons (also known as the intermediate vector bosons.) It is believed that these particles have no substructure.

The Multiverse theory posits that there are an infinite number of universes coexisting with ours on parallel dimensional planes. Other universes arose from the primordial vacuum when the big bang occurred. Some parallel universes are congenial to life, others are not.

Supposedly, any combination of anything and everything exists in the Multiverse, according to the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Matter absorbs bundles of energy called photons. A photon is a quantum of light and light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

Radioactivity and radiation are determined by the amount of neutrons in atomic nuclei. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the element of the atom.

The Higgs boson, also known as the God particle, is believed to have brought mass into the universe.

Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation means energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. The theory of relativity has to do with converting matter into energy and vice versa. Nuclear fission is the process whereby the nuclei of certain heavy atoms (fissionable isotopes such as uranium-233, U-235, thorium-232, and plutonium-239) are bombarded by neutrons and split into two nearly equal parts. Nuclear fusion occurs with the nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium collide and coalesce, creating helium and giving off energy.

According to quantum computing, the universe is made up of information rather than matter and energy. Quantum computers utilize qubits, which can be a one, a zero, or both a one and zero simultaneously.

Technological singularity refers to the advent of human history during which technology surmounts all human obstacles and the post-human era begins. Human brains will be able to become vastly enhanced by having nanochips implanted in them and by having nanobots in the brain capillaries. Celestial mechanics will be able to be altered and the universe will be saturated with intelligence. Ray Kurzweil discusses these things in great detail in his book entitled "The Singularity Is Near".

Novel Mössbauer scheme proposed for gravitation wave detection

Scientists at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed an innovative method to realize gravitational wave detection by utilizing Mössbauer resonance, the very most precise mechanisms in modern science. Their findings, recently published in Science Bulletin (2024, 69(18)), highlight a new approach that could revolutionize the study of gravitational waves. Analogous to the sensitivity of frog eyes to motion, the brand new stationary Mössbauer setup is particularly attuned to time-variant energy shifts caused by space-time vibrations, and enables the reconstruction of both the direction and polarization of gravitational waves.

The Mössbauer effect, which involves the recoil-free emission and absorption of X-ray photons by nuclei bound in a lattice, was a key discovery recognized by the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics. Known for its exceptional precision, this effect was first used to test gravitational redshift in the famous Harvard tower experiment and has since been widely applied in material and chemical sciences, as well as in the development of Mössbauer spectroscopy.

In this latest proposal, IHEP scientists explore the potential of a stationary Mössbauer system, where gravitational frequency shifts caused by height variations could replace the traditional Doppler shift used in differential Mössbauer spectrometry. For isotopes like 109Ag, which possess an extremely narrow relative linewidth of 10^-22, this method allows for the spatial localization of the Mössbauer resonance with an accuracy of 10 microns.

"It comes to our realization that the local gravitational field is such a superb meter for energy calibration when it comes gravitational shift." Said Prof. Yu Gao and Prof. Huaqiao Zhang (IHEP), that the idea emerged during a discussion of whether nuclear systems can probe the photon energy shift inside a gravitational wave background.

As gravitational waves pass, they induce energy fluctuations in Mössbauer photons. Under the influence of the local gravitational field, these fluctuations lead to vertical displacements of the resonance spot. According to the team’s calculations, with sufficient spatial resolution, the setup could achieve remarkable sensitivity to gravitational waves.

“Mössbauer spectroscopy, with its unparalleled precision, has become an invaluable tool across various research fields,” said Prof. Wei Xu of IHEP. “By integrating this new detection scenario, we aim to bring this concept to fruition in a modern laboratory setting.”

Modern high-energy detectors, with their superior spatial and temporal resolution, enable real-time monitoring of the Mössbauer resonance. The paper proposes a novel layout where detectors are arranged in a circular configuration around an activated silver source, enhancing sensitivity not only to the strength of gravitational waves but also to their direction of propagation and polarization angle.

IMAGE: Detectors positioned equidistantly at a distance d from the source are capable of sensing vertical displacements of the Mössbauer resonance point. In the subfigure (lower right), a detector is placed behind an absorber layer (indicated in red). This configuration allows the detector to monitor the height variations of nuclear resonance peaks by accurately measuring the corresponding photon flux. Credit ©Science China Press
