"Portland Community College physics professor Toby Dittrich plans to perform a modern version of the Eddington experiment during the eclipse.

The original experiment was first done during the 1919 total solar eclipse by a team of scientists off the coast of Africa that tested Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity." youtu.be/dgIxPEP4xxs @science @physics @astronomy

@bibliolater @religion Thanks, this video was helpful. As a pastor, I frequently get people who tell me that they've watched some other video or something online about the Aramaic-first hypothesis so it's helpful to understand what that argument is and why the consensus (Greek-first) is the consensus.

"What language was the Bible written in? Specifically, what was the original language of the New Testament? While the broad concensus is that it was Greek, some have hypthosized that Syriac/Aramaic was the language of the original text. What do the experts say?" youtu.be/rxq6OGPTMPQ @religion

"The modus operandi of men like Hawkins was to sail to Guinea, acquire a cargo of enslaved people, by force and/or barter, and ship them to the Spanish Caribbean and Mexico.91 Here, Hawkins would claim inclement weather had forced him to the area (a tactic used by many illicit traders), offer platitudes to local officials and sometimes promise to help clear out foreign pirates from the area.92 In return, he asked the Spanish to purchase his enslaved people. If that failed, he became aggressive, after which the local elites, often under-manned and in relatively lightly defended settlements, would agree to purchase his human cargo."

🇺🇸 "Local and state laws quickly targeted Chinese immigrants, often forcing them to pay fees and abandon their traditional methods of doing things. Government employment, and even the use of public schools, was banned for the Chinese. Courts typically excluded testimony from Chinese immigrants, meaning any legal disputes between Chinese and white residents would almost automatically be decided in favor of the white party."

@bibliolater @1dalm @science Maybe that's the key to the whole drop in fertility: too many sperm thinking that golf balls are eggs

"It’s no surprise that fertility is dropping in many countries, which demographers attribute to factors such as higher education levels among people who give birth, rising incomes, and expanded access to contraceptives. The United States is at 1.6 instead of the requisite 2.1, for example, and China and Taiwan are hovering at about 1.2 and one, respectively." doi.org/10.1126/science.ze0x33 @science

"The article asks whether people on the right of the ideological spectrum appraise the past, present, and future differently from people on the left. The data show that this is so in the case of the past: In all countries examined, right- compared to left-wing supporters evaluated the past as being more positive. In the United States and Poland, and possibly also in the United Kingdom (although in the latter country the results of the regression analysis are not confirmed by the Pearson correlation), an effect emerges also when considering the good-prospect future scenario: This was evaluated more positively on the left."
