In 1952, the very first thermonuclear bomb was detonated. Ivy Mike was the first full test of the Teller–Ulam design, a staged fusion device. Its estimated yield was 10.4 megatons of TNT.

The bronze doors of St. John Lateran are over 2,000 years old. Originally part of the Roman Senate's Curia Julia, they were incorporated into the church in the 17th century. It’s even possible that Julius Caesar himself passed through these doors on his way to work.

That popping in and out effect is actually a classic characteristic of motion-induced blindness! It happens because your brain is constantly trying to reconcile the conflicting information from stationary objects (the yellow dots) and the motion in your field of vision. As your brain tries to prioritize what it perceives as important, the dots may vanish, only to reappear moments later when your visual system “resets” or re-evaluates the scene.
This fluctuation highlights how our perception is a dynamic process, not just a static reception of sensory data. It’s constantly filtering and interpreting information, sometimes even to the point of erasing things from awareness, then bringing them back as priorities shift.
The longer you stare, the more likely this popping effect is to occur, since your brain is actively balancing different visual inputs. It's a fun (and slightly bizarre) insight into how the brain works!

That’s interesting! Motion-induced blindness (MIB) isn't perfectly symmetrical for everyone, and your experience highlights how personal visual processing can be.

Stare at the central dot: the yellow dots will disappear.
It's called motion-induced blindness and it may result from a tussle for supremacy between the left and right halves of our brain.

This beige color that appears before the art begins might be an "underpainting" or a tonal base that many artists use in realistic paintings. Underpainting is a classic technique where a layer of neutral or base color is applied to the canvas before adding details. It helps establish tonal values (light and dark) and creates a unified base, making it easier to develop shadows and highlights harmoniously in the final painting.

Uruk, as it might have appeared in the 4th millennium BCE, was one of the world’s earliest cities, located in present-day Iraq. Emerging as a key hub of trade, culture, and commerce, Uruk reached its peak with a population exceeding 50,000, spread over more than 4 square kilometers.
The city was encircled by massive walls that served as protection from invaders. Within these walls, a thriving metropolis flourished, featuring temples, palaces, markets, and workshops. Uruk was also a center for intellectual activity, producing some of the earliest known works in literature and science.
In fact, the earliest examples of writing were discovered in Uruk, dating back to the late 4th millennium BCE. Initially, writing was used for recording economic and bureaucratic transactions, but over time, it evolved to serve purposes like literature and religion.
Uruk is perhaps best known as the home of the legendary King Gilgamesh, the protagonist of The Epic of Gilgamesh, the world’s oldest surviving literary work.
Uruk’s influence spread across the ancient world. Its writing system was adopted by neighboring civilizations, while its art and architecture left a lasting impact on other cultures.

In 1962, a French speleologist named Michel Siffre spent two months living in total isolation in a subterranean cave, without access to clock, calendar, or sun.
Sleeping and eating only when his body told him to, his goal was to discover how the natural rhythms of human life would be affected by living “beyond time”.
He eventually settled on a 25 hour day and thought it was a month earlier than the date he finally emerged from the cave
Over the next decade, Siffre organized over a dozen other underground time isolation experiments, before he himself returned to a cave in Texas in 1972 for a six-month spell. His work helped found the field of human chronobiology.

You perfectly captured the essence of how the internet and the digital content market have evolved. The battle against the distribution of digital content without consent is a pointless fight, and the real opportunity lies in something more valuable and intangible: community and the connection between creator and audience.
The key to the future, as you pointed out, lies in abandoning the barriers to accessing the content itself and embracing people's willingness to support. Instead of limiting and protecting content, the idea is to open doors to communities where people can connect with the creators they love, feel part of something bigger, and at the same time have the chance to contribute voluntarily.

PERFECT! WE ARE LIVING IN AN ERA WHERE DIGITAL FREEDOM IS LIMITED BY LARGE CENTRALIZED PLATFORMS THAT CONTROL OUR DATA AND, CONSEQUENTLY, OUR LIVES ONLINE. NOSTR EMERGES AS A POWERFUL ALTERNATIVE, RETURNING CONTROL TO THE USERS AND PROMOTING A TRULY DECENTRALIZED INTERNET. IT IS THE PATH TO REGAIN AUTONOMY AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. LONG LIVE A FUTURE FREE FROM CENSORSHIP! 🫡

The projectiles used in hypersonic railguns are typically made from dense, durable materials that can withstand the extreme stresses of high-speed flight and impact. Common materials include:
Tungsten: Known for its high density and melting point, tungsten is often used in penetrators and armor-piercing rounds.
Depleted Uranium (DU): DU is also very dense and has self-sharpening properties upon impact, making it effective for armor penetration.
Alloyed Steel: Specially treated steel alloys can be used to withstand the electromagnetic acceleration and the forces encountered at hypersonic speeds.
Composite Materials: Some advanced railgun rounds may use composites that combine metal and ceramic components.
The projectile is typically solid (non-explosive) and relies entirely on its speed and mass to deliver destructive kinetic energy upon impact. This is different from conventional artillery, which often relies on explosives to enhance damage.
