Math. A rare peek from within a "Gyroid," a fascinating minimal surface in geometry that separates space into two oppositely congruent labyrinths of passages. By Andrea Belloni, Water flowing | anbello.eth | anbello.tez, Used with permission. This infinitely extending "labyrinth" surface divides all of space into two identical, intertwined, mirror-image passages: without ever intersecting itself. Discovered by mathematician Alan Schoen in 1970, it's a triply periodic minimal surface (zero mean curvature everywhere, like a soap film), with no straight lines or mirror symmetry. It can be approximated by the surprisingly simple equation: sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(z) + sin(z)cos(x) = 0. Nature loves it too: gyroid nanostructures in butterfly wing scales create iridescent colors through light interference, and similar forms appear in cell membranes, polymers, and even ketchup-like fluids. It's a superstar in materials science for lightweight, strong 3D-printed structures and photonic crystals.

Two weeks ago I fixed one of my teeth with algorithms I wrote a couple of years ago! I got hooked by 3D scanning when I started to work for a software shop in Zurich that was programming 3D computational geometry algorithms for denture scanning to produce crowns (and more). Back then, a typical reconstruction pipeline was like: scan the patient’s teeth using an intraoral scanner, reconstruct the surface mesh, design the restoration digitally, and finally mill the crown out of ceramic. We were working mostly with point clouds and meshes, but it wasn’t just math, it was craftsmanship translated into a digital process. Every micron mattered. You could literally see how a good algorithm meant a better fit in someone’s mouth. Gaussian Splatting isn’t about surface reconstruction, it’s about appearance reconstruction. It doesn’t care about explicit topology, it captures how light interacts with the scene. In a sense, it’s the opposite philosophy of the dental world: instead of modeling what the object is, it models how the object looks. 3D Gaussian Splatting enables applications like training self driving cars, teaching robots to understand their environment, creating virtual worlds, or monitoring real sites. It represents scenes as millions of small Gaussians rendered in real time without the need for meshes or textures. Coming from a world where precision geometry was everything, this shift felt natural. It’s still about reconstruction, but with a different goal: not manufacturing a perfect object, but reproducing how the world actually looks. Two weeks ago I got my first dental crown, made with the same software, reconstruction algorithms, and Swiss precision I once helped develop. I haven’t worked there in two years, but sitting in that chair and seeing the process from the other side was a proud moment. It reminded me why I love this field.

Government taking over L&T Metro is one of the best things to happen to Hyderabad. Metro rail is rarely profitable for a private player. L&T realized this very late. While commuters have faced severe overcrowding since 2022 ( Attached the video from 2022), there was no increase in coach capacity, citing the losses. Even Phase 2 was also stalled due to lack of cooperation on revenue sharing and integration from L&T. The Centre has been waiting for this handover before approving Phase 2. Financially, this may not look good but for the metro to scale up, integrate seemlessly with Phase 2, and meet the city’s growing needs, this is much needed. Across India, there are no successful fully private metros anymore. Gurgaon Rapid Metro and Mumbai Metro lines originally developed by private players were eventually taken over by state authorities. Anyway, Hyderabad’s PPP failure is a hard lesson for any government or private entity attempting to enter the public transit space.

📢GeomHair: Reconstruction of Hair Strands from Colorless 3D Scans📢 We present a novel method to reconstruct hair strands from colorless 3D scans by extracting orientation cues directly from the mesh surface geometry by finding local characteristic lines and from shaded renderings using a neural 2D line detector. We enhance the reconstruction with a diffusion prior trained on synthetic hair data and adapted to each scan using a tailored text prompt, allowing us to recover both simple and complex hairstyles without relying on color input. To support further research, we also introduce Strands400, the largest publicly available dataset of 3D hair strand reconstructions from real-world scans of 400 different people, featuring complicated hairstyles, such as ponytails and buns. 🌍 📷 Great work by Rachmadio Noval L.

Following reports that the right wing SVP party in Switzerland has used a #WeAreFamily sound-alike song in a political video without permission, #NileRodgers made the following statement: “I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People's Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions!” @HipgnosisSongs , Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.

🚨PHYSICS NEWS🚨: Gravity Leaves Its Mark on Quantum Interference in a Tabletop Setup 🧨 According to research published in *Physical Review Letters* on June 8, 2026 by physicists at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, scientists have performed the first tabletop experiment to detect a gravitationally induced phase shift in quantum interference. Using a 50-kilometer fiber interferometer, they measured a tiny but clear effect of gravity on quantum wave interference with high precision. **Uniphics explains this result as a direct consequence of variable time flow caused by energy density gradients.** In Uniphics, gravity is not the curvature of spacetime. Instead, it arises from differences in energy density across the ξM-field. These gradients create regions where time flows at different rates — a concept described by the Maley factor (the ratio of time flow between two locations). When quantum waves (spin waves in the Uniphics framework) travel along two different paths in an interferometer, they experience slightly different time flows if one path is closer to Earth’s mass than the other. Because the phase of a quantum wave depends on how much time has passed along its path, even a tiny difference in time flow produces a measurable phase shift between the two arms of the interferometer. The University of Tennessee experiment detected exactly this kind of phase shift, confirming that gravity affects the relative timing of quantum waves in a way that can be measured in a controlled laboratory setting. This result aligns closely with Uniphics predictions. The experiment effectively measures how energy density gradients near Earth alter local time flow, which then imprints itself on the interference pattern of quantum states. It provides clean, tabletop evidence that gravity influences quantum systems through changes in time flow rather than through geometric curvature. The ability to observe this effect with such precision in a laboratory opens the door to testing gravitational effects on quantum coherence in controlled environments — something Uniphics expects to become increasingly important as we explore the deep connection between energy density, time flow, and quantum behavior. Could tabletop experiments like this eventually allow us to map energy density gradients with quantum precision and test the effects of modified time flow in different gravitational environments? **A Theory of Everything should be able to answer everything.** Uniphics Explained Simply PDF: Chapters 1–10 free: Grokipedia: #Uniphics #TheoryOfEverything #QuantumGravity #Interferometry #TabletopPhysics Grok xAI

On the 16th of March 2025, Earshot was contacted by activists in Serbia to investigate the potential use of sonic weapons by the government on a crowd of protestors as they were holding a silent vigil for the victims of the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse. Earshot received 12 videos that document the moments where a weapon was allegedly used against the protestors. 4 of these videos contain a sound consistent with the noise produced by a Vortex Ring Gun or Vortex Cannon. As this weapon pushes gas out of its cylinder at speeds of 185mph, its expulsion produces a howling noise which has been compared to a jet engine, along with vortex rings that may be ionized. This would create electromagnetic interference with devices such as hearing aids, corroborating reports made by witnesses at the protest. Should this be the vortex cannon, these recordings would be more than 700m away. At this distance the combustion of the weapon is no longer audible; only the distinct whistling sound of the pressure wave as it travels away from the shooter location and towards the crowd can be heard, causing mass panic. As Earshot is looking to further investigate this incident, we ask anyone with video footage from that night that captures the specific sound that can be heard in this post to get in touch with us.

🚨 BREAKING: MIT researchers just built a quantum sensor that can measure multiple properties at once. That matters more than it sounds. Most solid-state quantum sensors have to measure things one by one: magnetic field, temperature, strain, frequency, phase. But reality doesn’t wait its turn. MIT used entangled qubits inside a diamond defect to measure multiple signal properties in a single shot. Read that again. This means Faster measurements Less error from repeating experiments Better sensing inside complex systems like materials and living cells The wild part? They did it at room temperature. Not in some ultra-cold, impractical lab-only setup. In a platform that could actually matter for real-world sensing. Inside a tiny defect in diamond, quantum correlations were used to pull out: amplitude frequency detuning phase all from the same measurement. That’s a big shift. Because the future of quantum tech isn’t just quantum computers. It’s quantum devices that can see more of reality at once. So the real question is When sensors stop measuring one thing at a time… how much of the hidden structure of matter becomes visible? Follow me for more physics breakthroughs that actually matter.

Hasan Piker presents himself as a serious leftist commentator with millions of fans. But a new investigation reported by the New York Post paints a drastically different picture off-camera. Sources describe a pattern of inappropriate personal behavior, including soliciting private photos from female fans and keeping detailed personal rankings of women. He also reportedly used a dedicated laptop for adult content. This is the same guy who constantly lectures everyone else about ethics, respect, and morality. His old college tweets hyping “freshman chicks” and frat-style party culture add to the contrast. All while living in a $2.7 million Hollywood home, with an estimated net worth of around $8 million, and criticizing the capitalist system he personally benefits from. Does this track with the progressive “woke bae” persona he pushes? Or is it just another example of do as I say, not as I do? (Video: AI — Hasan Piker)
