Dark Energy was discovered (indirectly) at the Large Hadron Collider. The Higgs boson has a complementary field that permeates all space and imparts mass to stuff. The field is dark, meaning invisible. Yet it's not THE Dark Energy that accounts for 3/4 of the Universe.
I didn’t mean to suggest that all neutrinos have no mass necessarily, just that the ones we know of don’t have the right mass to be the dark matter

Dark Matter particles exist and are observed. Just think neutrinos raining down from the Sun. They are dark, by which I really mean invisible. However, they do not have mass and abundances in the right range to explain THE Dark Matter that amounts to a quarter of the Universe.
Against the bright Moon -- I believe a waxing Gibbous Moon -- look for the Lyrid meteor shower, which peaks around tonight and tomorrow. Find the direction of the constellation Lyra to see debris from comet Thatcher
Lenny Susskind suggests the black hole is a hologram, unable to encode more information than on its boundary, the event horizon. The apparently 3D black hole is then really encoded entirely in 2D. Listen in on The Joy of Why @QuantaMagazine @prx quantamagazine.org/can-informatio…

Black Holes are featureless beyond their quantum charges, like fundamental particles. Unlike possibly anything else in the universe, they may be formed micro in the Big Bang and macro as dead stars @QuantaMagazine @prx quantamagazine.org/can-informatio…
We orbit this supermassive black hole as surely as we orbit the Sun. Behold Sagittarius A*, so named since the black hole appears beyond our line of sight to the constellation Sagittarius. The supermassive black hole is an electromagnetic power station.

In the 1990s, Stephen Hawking bet Leonard Susskind that information can't escape a black hole. In 2013, a discovery proved Hawking wrong. Hear Susskind explain the black hole war to co-host @JannaLevin on the latest episode of “The Joy of Why” podcast. listen.quantamagazine.org/jow-306-s…

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs, the namesake of the Higgs Boson -- aka the God Particle -- has an obituary in his favorite newspaper. At the press conference announcing the discovery of the Higgs, he wiped away a tear. He lived to see his ideas come to fruition.

It would appear that there are people who think of themselves as enlightened who ACTUALLY THINK that I should, as it were, channel it into Jewish students' airpods that Israel should not exist. As if the issues are that uncontestable. When you think others have opinions but you…
One day - after the 4 times I have taught the course - I decided that the "silence" would be unfair to impose on people of Jewish faith. This makes me musicologically ignorant? I was being a considerate member of the Columbia community.
This idea that I don't understand Cage's piece is willfully uncomprehending, well, nonsense. I know he wanted us to listen to surrounding sound. I made an exception for making Jewish people listen to calls for Israel to be destroyed.

@JannaLevin And some dark matter is where there aren't stars
@JannaLevin Are dark matter particles actually proven? My super amateur, smoking-on-the-balcony take was that they’re more the fabric of space itself, not just regular particles.
@JannaLevin This is in fact fascinating and mind blowing!
@JannaLevin Invisible Unknowable Dark Matter should be a thing.
@JannaLevin Neutrinos have a slight bit of mass though right?
@JannaLevin sort of. Coming from you, tells how daredevil is your natural preset to look at nature. Admirable.
@JannaLevin And accounts for 85% of all the gravitational forces in the Cosmos.
@JannaLevin The biggest indirect evidence of Dark Matter’s existence is the gravitational lensing. I often point people to The Dragon Arc in Abell 370 if they say Dark Matter doesn’t exist.
@JannaLevin I can’t wait for the day we discover a way to see it😮👍
