A wave of retractions is shaking physics. Grappling with problematic papers and poorly documented data, researchers and journal editors gathered in Pittsburgh to hash out the best way forward. https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/05/15/1092535/a-wave-of-retractions-is-shaking-physics/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

“We’ve talked in the past about there being academic evidence, engineering studies. What we are actually seeing now with those satellites in operation is empirical evidence. You see the noise floor on our satellites increase to the degree that services cannot be provided.”

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I think: Wow Google Maps, you really fucked up this time

Saw some text online that made me want to turn it into signage. What good are graphic design skills if you can't have a little fun with them.😜

Another telescope controversy is brewing, this time on #Maui

The U.S. Air Force wants to build seven more telescopes on the summit of #Haleakala to help better track the growing number of objects whizzing about in #space.

But the proposal, unveiled in public meetings on Maui for the first time last week, ran into a buzz saw of resistance similar to the ongoing opposition to the planned Thirty Meter Telescope on #Maunakea.

Four zebrafish are on board the Chinese Space Station, getting accustomed to life in weightlessness. The fish were delivered as an experiment as part of the Shenzhou-18 spacecraft, which arrived last month. The taikonauts at the station say that the fish have been swimming upside down, in circles, or even spinning as they become accustomed to life without "up and down." The long-term hope is to establish a self-sustaining ecosystem in a space station environment.

If the US saw lack of ICC jurisdiction as a valid defense that exempts Israel from ICC prosecution, then US would not have welcomed ICC arrest warrants for Putin—who also rejects ICC jurisdiction. But instead the US happily welcomed ICC warrants against Putin, and stands by those warrants to this day.

International rules based order mandates consistency in law and the application of law—for opponents & allies alike. That's how justice is supposed to work.

SD riktigt anstränger sig för att håna regeringen och visa att de gör vad de vill. Och regeringspartierna accepterar snällt

"De båda medarbetarna på Sverigedemokraternas kommunikationsavdelning fick sin utbildning före helgen, och gjorde därefter, enligt Expressens uppgifter, ett utspring med konfetti, diplom, Pommac och studentskyltar. I stället för barnbilder hade foton från TV4:s dolda kamera satts på plakaten."
