My preschooler, for one, is absolutely obsessed. She loves her low-stakes horror.

Is that next to the Helen Hunt - Jodie Foster - Leelee Sobieski clone lab?

My big question: Will they be changing the villains from the Huns to a group that actually fought the Chinese?

I’m really hoping we see a Picard who has decided to leave Starfleet - my preferred storyline would be him leading a colonization effort at the edge of known space, ideally at a time when the Federation’s attention is largely tied up elsewhere - that way you can have the hazards of surviving on an unknown planet,…

I almost beat it once as a teenager. I had blocked out an entire afternoon, had mapped out all of the paths so I knew where everything was, got to the point where I had to race to the helipad to get off the island... and my little brother turned off the SNES. I nearly killed him. Never again put in the effort to do it.

She’s been working pretty consistently since Voyager - her role on Orange is the New Black even got her nominated for an Emmy.

We’re talking about two different processes. The first is electron state changes, which result in photons emitting when an electron drops to a lower state. That’s what this new paper addresses. The second is atomic decay, which is when the nucleus splits into component groups of protons and neutrons, emitting photons…

It’s been a while since I took quantum, but as I recall, atoms only emit photos when their electrons drop from one energy level to another. Since there are only specific energy levels that electrons can exist at, there is a minimum mass for the atom - namely, all electrons at the lowest energy level they can fit into.

Judging by the approximately 5 million times she’s watched it, my toddler has judged zootopia better than either

Reading the article you linked to, it sounds like the shell thickening was only observed in seven of the 18 species they studied - from their examples, it sounds like mostly the complex crustaceans like lobsters and crabs, which may have developed a defense mechanism. The rest of the shells thinned as hypothesized so…

I'd have to disagree with you. The Rincewind books were always a bit too slapstick for the rest of the series, but Discworld is one of those rare series I would argue gets better as Pratchett continues. I would put Hogfather, Monstrous Regiment, or Night Watch up against any of the earlier books in a heartbeat.
