Woah, awesome.> When two ions passed by each other without colliding, some of their virtual photons interacted and turned into real photons with very high energy. These photons then collided with each other and produced electron-positron pairs, which were detected by the STAR detector at RHIC. The scientists analyzed more than 6,000 such pairs and found that their angular distribution matched the theoretical prediction for matter creation from light.

@wakest ⁂ Sadly, the ongoing aftershocks of the previous US presidency. I highly recommend YouTube channel LegalEagle on this matter.
Here on Fedi I've read insightful things by @7b5c79d9 on this and also other things.
@Caleb James DeLisle@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell:@Curator of Mastodon.art fediblock :newt: You don't necessarily have to "win".
It's more important to make sure you don't have millions of people in your country who "lose", and to have solid institutions that keep it that way even in the presence of "winners" trying to change that.
Good education, nutrition and transport for everyone goes a long way.
@Curator of Mastodon.art fediblock :newt: @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: Car dependency is keeping people not only poor but unhappy.
I'm perfectly happy with a CO2 tax that is on the total cost neutral. Charge everyone for their emissions, distribute the money back equally. Where's my hate for the poor now? The rich pollute more.
@e942394f@01661f5f There were nonzero people who sincerely tried to make Russia a liberal democracy. If they failed to rally the rest, understanding why is an interesting and important topic.
