I have become interested in watching the sparrows who come to my grand feeder and how they behave. Their flocking behavior in particular. They will be hiding in the trees nearby until one is brave enough to fly to the feeder, within a few seconds, a whole pile of others see it is okay and fly in. If one gets spooked by something and flys away they all get spooked and fly away to the tree nearby. I have a birdbath with drinking water for them nearby. They has a group pay it no heed until all of a sudden one lights on the bath and takes a drink. All of a sudden many more are 'thirsty' and land to take drinks as well. I often wonder if they have 'leaders' of their flocks they take cues from or if they just follow any sparrow that does something different than the lock?

Who knew that Leonard Cohen not only was a great singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist, but also a great mathematician? How They Fool Ya (Math parody of "Hallelujah") - 3Blue1Brown (featuring Matt Parker on key note). Despite the audio quality, I noticed that Grant could sing. On a serious note, this is the background of the first part of the song... The absurd circle division pattern (updated) | Moser's circle problem - 3Blue1Brown.

You learn something almost every day. I was looking at some impressive 4k images of mars landscape from the rovers, then that branched out into a search for actual distances of plants to earth and time to get there. Then that branched out into look at a table of minimum and maximum distances from earth. When looking at this I discovered that Pluto is actually closer to earth than Neptune at the closest points of each planet. (Yeah in my universe Pluto is still a planet. ) Minimum distance to Pluto 4.28 Billion km Minimum distance to Neptune 4.298 Billion km

Well, LSD has been attributed to the discovery of the DNA double helix, the way to synchronize switches in digital circuitry, i.e. the microprocessor, and a few other things I don't remember, I'm just mentioning it, because I've been wondering about how the hell this David Smith's brain is wired, though he did need help with the mathematical proof.

Numberphile released a similar video: A New Tile in Newtyle. The problem with both the above videos was that it was not a truly aperiodic monotile, because it required the tile to be combined with a mirrored version of that tile. While editing the video, they noticed that a new shape was discovered. That one is mentioned below. Videos like the above (featuring the "hat" as the latest and greatest) were very popular, but (like I mentioned) a few days later a true one (the curved "spectre") was discovered. That one didn't require the tile to be combined with a mirrored one... Discovery of the Aperiodic Monotile - Numberphile.

The "Hat", the "Turtle" which doesn't require a mirror, also invented by David, and the "Spectre", named after David's dead brother. The particular with the Spectre, is not that it doesn't require it's mirror (the Turtle already fixed that) but that it doesn't tile periodically when combined with it's reflection, which the Turtle does.

You are right. I just saw that the spectre was mentioned in your post with a video from yesterday. Sorry about that. I was first introduced to it in the "Newtile" video two months ago, which noticed the spectre five days after its discovery during editing. Therefor these guys had to create new video just after the release of the first one. That got me confused, because your video mostly repeated the old one and I cancelled watching it before the end.

Ok so this is potentially extremely exciting- JWST may have detected biosignatures (i.e. evidence of alien life) in the atmosphere of exoplanet (and likely water-world in its star's habitable or "goldilocks" zone) K2-18b. From NASA: Webb Discovers Methane, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 bAnd Anton's video on the topic: This is likely just a matter of previously unknown planetary/atmospheric/etc processes (or incomplete/questionable analysis of the data), but its at least possible we have detected the alien equivalent of e.g. phytoplankton on a planet orbiting a distant star, and so (again, potentially) the first evidence of life anywhere in the universe besides Earth.

Lets hope this will not go the route of LK-99 I'm not sure superconductors and exoplanet biosignature detections are the most apples-to-apples comparison, but regardless the odds are it'll go more or less the route of past bio/techno-signatures like the "Wow!" signal or the phosphine detection on Venus a couple years ago. Like I noted, its most probably a previously unknown planetary, atmospheric, geological process. Or some sort of false positive or error in data analysis. But that's the funny thing about probability: every now and then, the improbable (even vanishingly so) manages to happen. Only time will tell in this case, but you're certainly right that expectations should be tempered, as always in this sort of situation. But its still exciting, especially since this is an example of JWST starting to flex its muscles: this result is only the tip of the iceberg of what Webb will be able to accomplish in the years ahead.
