In microgravity, crystals experience "hopper growth," where the outer edges and corners grow at faster rates than the flat faces, creating a step-like appearance. This timelapse records their growth inside a thin water film. Look closely, and you will see the patterns emerge!

Look closely into their eyes... you will see a father burdened by his load and a young boy searching for lost hope, while men, women, and children stand in long lines at the charity kitchens, waiting for a single meal for the entire family.

Edge-induced Faraday waves happen when you rub the rim of a bowl making the edge vibrate, this vibrates the water at the edge and the motion spreads. When the vibration gets strong enough, the flat surface breaks into regular standing wave patterns

On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine bright objects flying in formation while flying near Mount Rainier. He was the first pilot whose sighting became a worldwide media sensation, and his report led newspapers to coin the term "flying saucer." However, Arnold was not describing the UFOs as saucers. He was describing their motion, saying they moved "like a saucer skipping across water." He described the objects as thin and flat, crescent-shaped or half-moon-shaped. One object appeared more like a boomerang or horseshoe than the others. They had no visible tail or wings and reflected sunlight, giving them a bright, metallic appearance. Finally after 79 years from that event, the government has released footage of UFOs that move exactly as Kenneth Arnold described them. In the second part of my video, you can see four thin, flat objects flying up and down, just like a saucer skipping across water.

The pump feels like growth. The muscle is visibly bigger in the mirror. Brain says: "Look at it. That's why I came here." The pump is blood pooled in a muscle from repeated contractions restricting venous return. The veins fill faster than they drain. The muscle inflates. Growth happens when heavy load is taken close to failure, triggering protein synthesis over the next 24 to 48 hours. The pump is not part of it. You can get a massive pump from 30 reps of 2kg lateral raises. The growth stimulus is approximately nothing. You can get almost no pump from 5 heavy barbell rows. The growth stimulus is everything. The damage is in the template. Chasing a pump means high reps and short rest, which produces enormous junk fatigue for very little growth signal, and quietly trains you to judge a session by feeling instead of by the bar getting heavier. You walk out pumped. You walk out tired. The bar has not moved in six months. The mirror after the workout is showing you fluid. The mirror six months later is showing you load. Train for the second mirror.

This is sadly the *first* and *last* time this pig will experience fresh air and rain. You can see the curiosity and joy in their face. 😥 Heartbreaking that these are their final moments before entering a slaughterhouse. 💔

Look closely at this gate. The bodies are lion-like, the faces are human, and the whole entrance feels deliberately otherworldly. This is Alaca Höyük’s Sphinx Gate, one of the most striking Hittite monuments in Türkiye. Ancient walls did not only keep enemies out. Sometimes they told visitors exactly who ruled the world inside.

The film director said she wanted the background to look like nothing but water, so Yeonjun leaned against a fence by the lake. It’s not like the water was deep, it wasn’t dangerous but a nutria kept approaching from behind where he couldn’t see it and whenever it got too close, the staff had to cut the scene and move him away😭

Math and the Mind. Dodecahedron. By Andrea Belloni, Water flowing | anbello.eth | anbello.tez, Used with permission. In your personal opinion, do dodecahedrons exist, or are they abstract ideal geometries, Platonic solids that exist in some non-human realm? Perhaps they exist in both ways: as precise, abstract mathematical ideals and as real physical objects you can hold, study, or even find in ancient ruins and nature. The abstract, ideal version a convex polyhedron with 12 identical regular pentagonal faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges, where the same number of faces meet at each vertex (all faces congruent, all angles equal, etc.). Platonists argue these forms inhabit an abstract realm independent of human minds or the physical universe. Others see them as human inventions or patterns inherent to logic and reality itself. [Humans have been building dodecahedrons for millennia, and close approximations appear, such as pyritohedrons in pyrite (fool's gold) crystals.]

I didn't quite understand what I was seeing at the time - but - this is the door opening and you can see the atmosphere blowing out, the narrow strip of illumination made it look a bit like the surface of water.

Our PUBG squad will finally kick off their #EWC26 campaign in less than 24 hours. Until then, why not take a behind-the-scenes look at the tournament and see the conditions our players are preparing in? #navination
