A rare cosmic phenomenon called an #Einstein ring.

There are two galaxies, separated by a large distance. The foreground galaxy is at the center, while the background galaxy appears to be wrapped around the closer galaxy, forming a ring. 

The light from the more distant object is bent about a massive intermediate object because #spacetime, the fabric of the #Universe itself, is bent by mass, and therefore light travelling through #space and #time is bent as well.

1/ Konsum von Bekleidung in der EU gestiegen. 2 kg mehr als 2019. @peer erklärt mir ja immer wieder, dass der #Kapitalismus nicht per se schlecht ist. Aber wenn man #dasRegeltDerMarkt lässt, dann kommt halt so was raus.

Es braucht viel mehr #Verbote. Oder Aufklärung? Ach, ich bin ja schon ruhig.

Wer braucht dieses ganze Zeug? Fashion-Apps?

Was kann man machen? Steuern? Mindestpreise für Textilien? Die Lieferketten sind ja schon mal gut.

Übrigens hat mir eine Bekannte, die nach der Wende in Frankfurt/M bei einer Bank angefangen hat, erzählt, dass es ja unmöglich sei, zwei Mal hinternander die selben Sachen anzuziehen.

Ich habe einen Trick: Ich habe mehrfach gleiche Hosen und T-Shirts. Die wechsele ich, habe also immer gleiche Sachen an. Alle schwarz, da gibt es keine Probleme in der Farbabstimmung und alle zehn Jahre ist man im Trend.

Ihr könnt Euch dabei auch auf #Einstein berufen.

Wo einst Albert Einstein sprach, fand gestern ein Science Slam statt! 🌟 Im Einstein-Saal der Archenhold-Sternwarte präsentierten fünf Slammys ihre Forschungsprojekte.

Den Sieg holte sich Daniel, der mit seiner Forschung zu Solarzellen begeisterte! 🎉

Ein riesiges Dankeschön an unsere Slammys, das Publikum, die Stiftung Planetarium Berlin und unseren Sponsor Zeiss! 🚀✨

In the more distant future (say in about 5 years), however, I do see the big danger of an intervention of the military in physics… …it is impossible to imagine a united front of physicists against such tendencies; it is too easy to entice young people with good positions and career prospects. . .

The Essence of Evil

A Pulitzer Prize finalist in the cartoonist category, Pat Bagley has worked for The Salt Lake Tribune for more than 45 years.

He is one of roughly a dozen cartoonists still working at a major metropolitan newspaper in the U.S.

Happy Pi Day, neighbors. Coincidentally, it is also the birthday of Albert Einstein, one of the most famous physicists and Nobel Peace Prize winners as a reminder for us to stay curious.

Today in History, March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein was born. In addition to being one of the most significant physicists of all time, he was also a pacifist. Yet his letter to President Roosevelt warning of the Nazi progress on atomic weapons research was arguably key to the U.S. implementation of the Manhatton Project, a decision he later lamented. In 1955, well after the Cold War and nuclear arms race had begun, he and ten other intellectuals and scientists, including other Nobel Prize laureates, like Bertrand Russell and Linus Pauling, wrote a manifesto warning of the dangers of nuclear weapons. Einstein also participated in the U.S. Civil Rights movement, calling racism America’s “worst disease.” Later in his life he began to support socialism, and he criticized the Bolsheviks for their barbarism. Einstein was also a Zionist, and supported Jews’ right to return to Palestine. However, he did not support a Jewish state, or an Arab state, to replace Mandatory Palestine. Rather, he wanted a free, bi-national Palestine in which Jews and Arabs shared sovereignty, living peacefully and equally with each other.
