I hope no mad scientist ever plays with that gene 😅
No mad scientists, just regular scientists working on regular fruit flies. What could go wrong?

Doctors HATE this simple fifth lesson!
It would be kind of nostalgic. Like the discussion forums of yore, where signatures were the place to shove quotes, statistics, awards, maybe a gif or two.
I doubt you saw all that for 2-3 minutes, but if you’re happy with what you saw then that’s all that matters, really. Enjoy April 8th and clear skies!
If you can travel to be in the path of totality that day, DO IT. I have seen 2 total solar eclipses so far. While the deep partial phases (>95%) are amazing on their own, nothing compares to actual 100% totality. Only during totality can you safely look directly at the Sun (because it’s entirely hidden). Only during totality can you see the Sun’s corona for several minutes, as a whitish ring of light around the black hole that used to be the Sun.
Be safe and clear skies everyone!
Yes. In totality, you can safely stare at a black hole of a Sun for 2-3 minutes on end, no glasses required, and marvel at the fine details of the corona and the intense red-pink light of the chromosphere. You get to experience a profound bone-chilling realization that we are on a literal rock hurtling through space.
This led to an interesting question. Can a being be omnipotent without being omniscient? In other words, maybe I do create reality as I go (hence omnipotent) but I don’t know how I do it nor what things are doing when I’m not looking at them (hence not omniscient)
Replace state-approved with corporation-approved and yeah, this is our world now.
My mom introduced me to avocado toast. She’s a boomer, I’m a millenial…
As with many articles in science and math, the discovery isn’t that “this weird thing happens”, but that “hey, we can model this weird thing using this equation/model (that sometimes comes from a totally unrelated field).” Maybe in 10, 20, 50 years this discovery will become the key to understanding yet another weird thing, and so on.
“Everyone understands” that if you drop an object it falls to the ground. Yet we still don’t fully understand how gravitation works.
Government worker here too, can confirm our system runs on COBOL. The wizards who can program it have infinite job security.
So how much evidence is there for negative mass, then? Sounds like just replacing one unknown with another.
