ds9 good ending: kira nerys, who is keiko o'brien’s live-in girlfriend and also sort of miles o'brien’s girlfriend but it’s complicated, and julian bashir, miles o'brien’s live-in boyfriend and also sort of keiko o'brien’s boyfriend but not as much, look at each other awkwardly across the breakfast table because they’re the earliest risers in the house and don’t speak
If you put that ball on that machine while it wasn’t spinning, it would just roll straight down the lower sides.
The raised edges would keep it in the middle line, but it’s only controlled in one direction. By spinning it, you constantly alternate the position of the tall sides, meaning that the ball is held in the middle, never able to fall off.
Particle accelerators control particles in the same way. Magnetic or electric fields can only direct particles in one plane at a time, so to keep a beam of particles rushing down a particle accelerator in one focused stream, the current gradient must constantly oscillate. This means the particles are constantly held in place, never able to shoot off in one direction.
Here’s the same principle in action: these are tiny pollen grains being held in place by an oscillating field. Rods in the four corners of the beam establish a field that oscillates many times a second to keep the pollen trapped. If it didn’t constantly switch, the pollen would all fly off in one direction.
Is that a hint of pineapple? No, it’s your mind being consumed by the endless depths of the earth.
Vera Rubin, the woman who discovered the first evidence of dark matter, has died at 88
- Vera Rubin, the astrophysicist responsible for confirming the first existence of dark matter, died on Sunday night at the age of 88.
- Carnegie Institution president Matthew Scott called Rubin “a national treasure as an accomplished astronomer and a wonderful role model for young scientist.”
- Rubin and her colleagues observed galaxies in the 1970s, they learned the motion of stars is a result of a “material that does not emit light and extends beyond the optical galaxy” — also known as dark matter.
- Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky proposed the idea of dark matter in 1933, but Rubin’s groundbreaking work subsequently led to the confirmation of the material.
- This finding is what led to the discovery that 90% of the universe is made up of dark matter, a finding some colleagues felt was overlooked and deserving of a Nobel Prize. Read more

Happy 50th Anniversary everyone! It’s so incredible to see the growth of the fuckyeahds9 tumblr and the growing interest in Deep Space Nine generally! Look forward to continuing to curate and maintain this tumblr at least until DS9’s golden anniversary!
America is about to be that part in the lion king where where pride rock became all shitty bc Scar became king
have yet to see a better analogy
Are you implying Hilary Clinton’s daughter will assassinate Donald Trump because I’m okay with this
Actually, if we follow the narrative, I think it would be the Obama daughters. Which would be even MORE awesome.
Malia’s gonna fight Trump on the roof of the Whitehouse while it’s on fire.
while joe biden dresses in drag and does the hula as a diversion
Malia throws Trump off the roof. He lands on the White House lawn. Paul Ryan laughs, sinister and low, and eats him.
