Scratching The Crab Nebula's Surface
Leonardo da Vinci may have been a forward-thinking engineer, but what if he had gotten into the particle physics game? CERN researcher Dr. Sergio Cittolin brought out his (not so) inner Renaissance Man with these illustrations of the Large Hadron Collider in Leonardo’s style.
Garrus, You never disappoint me.
They are all great, haha. Oh Jacob, You…
Jacob’s romance scene.garrus can you make that face more often

The following is an excerpt from carl sagan’s meeting with the dalai lama
“…in theological discussions with religious leaders, I often ask what their response would be if a central tenet of their faith were disproved by science. When I put this question to the Dalai Lama, he unhesitatingly replied as no conservative or fundamentalist religious leaders do: In such a case, he said, Tibetan Buddhism would have to change. Even, I asked, if it’s a really central tenet, like reincarnation? Even then, he answered. However, he added with a twinkle – it’s going to be hard to disprove reincarnation.”

This. This is amazing..
Wow 78,488+ notes? What’s really funny is I am really weak in these! I did this set of interstitials while I was still injured, I mean literally a week off of crutches from a torn Achilles at the Gastrocnemius junction. So strange, after a life time of work and the first time I show myself to the world I’m not my best self?
What a crazy life?

Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye’s vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age the vitreous is perfectly transparent but, during life, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most people’s eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia. Floaters are visible because of the shadows they cast on the retina or their refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one’s field of vision. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before the observer’s eyes. Since these objects exist within the eye itself, they are not optical illusions but are entoptic phenomena.

What if Leonardo da Vinci designed the Large Hadron Collider?
Watching Up because I’ve never seen it before.
12 minutes in and I don’t want to watch anymore. It’s too much.
