Letters of St. Paul of the Cross: “Remain Wholly Concealed”

“Now, therefore, please remain wholly concealed in the crucified Jesus, with no other desire but to be completely changed by love and do his good pleasure. You will see, at the opportune time, the opening of a great scene, and a great star will rise which will be the harbinger of a very clear day,… Continue reading Letters of St. Paul of the Cross: “Remain Wholly Concealed”

Two Weeks In, the Webb Space Telescope Is Reshaping Astronomy

As soon as President Biden unveiled the first image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on July 11, Massimo Pascale and his team sprang into action. Coordinating over Slack, Pascale, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and 14 collaborators divvied up tasks. The image showed thousands of galaxies in a pinprick-size portion… Continue reading Two Weeks In, the Webb Space Telescope Is Reshaping Astronomy

Greta Fumes As EU Declares Nuclear & NatGas ‘Green’

Members of European Parliament (MEPs) voted on July 6 not to reject adding nuclear and natural gas activities to the European Union taxonomy for sustainable investments, paving the way for the EU to include such projects in its so-called “green” investments. As OilPrice.com’s Tsvetana reports, in a vote on Wednesday, most members of the European Parliament did not support a motion… Continue reading Greta Fumes As EU Declares Nuclear & NatGas ‘Green’

New Number Systems Point Geometry Problem Toward a Real Solution

The Kakeya conjecture sounds like a brain teaser. Place a needle flat on a table. How much area do you need in order to be able to turn it so that it points in all possible directions? The most obvious possible answer is a circle whose diameter is the length of the needle. But this… Continue reading New Number Systems Point Geometry Problem Toward a Real Solution

Ukraine Furious At Turkey For Allowing Passage Of Russian Ship Full Of “Stolen Grain”

Ukraine has lashed out at Turkey and is currently demanding answers over a Russian-flagged cargo ship that was allowed to pass through straits controlled by the Turkish government as it sailed out of the Black Sea. Ukraine alleges the vessel was full of stolen Ukrainian grain, while Moscow has dismissed the reports as false. Ukraine… Continue reading Ukraine Furious At Turkey For Allowing Passage Of Russian Ship Full Of “Stolen Grain”

Embryo Cells Set Patterns for Growth by Pushing and Pulling

One of the longest-standing questions in biology is how a living thing that starts as an embryonic blob of uniform cells morphs over time into an organism with diverse tissues, each with its own unique pattern and characteristics. The answer would explain how a leopard gets its spots, a zebra gets its stripes, trees get… Continue reading Embryo Cells Set Patterns for Growth by Pushing and Pulling

Millions Of Barrels From US Emergency Oil Reserve Sent Abroad, Including To China

With a growing number of people realizing that the Biden administration has drained more oil from the US strategic petroleum reserve, which is meant to be used during real emergencies not fake, made up ones such as Democrats facing a catastrophic failure at the midterm elections… … more people are starting to ask the next… Continue reading Millions Of Barrels From US Emergency Oil Reserve Sent Abroad, Including To China

Mass and Angular Momentum, Left Ambiguous by Einstein, Get Defined

Conserved physical quantities should not vary, or appear to do so, based on how we choose to label things. That was the situation that Chen, Wang, Wang, and Yau hoped to rectify. Starting with their 2015 definition of quasilocal angular momentum, they computed the angular momentum contained within a region of finite radius. Then they… Continue reading Mass and Angular Momentum, Left Ambiguous by Einstein, Get Defined
