Never-Repeating Tiles Can Safeguard Quantum Information
Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction.
- that's so damn cool, just beautiful. I've been fascinated by Penrose tilings, this useful application of it is groundbreaking and potentially world-altering._niko

- I used to love doing this in Universe Sandbox - so sad seeing all the stars that get flung into the absolute abyss of spacedetritus

- wesa gonna die!!moldero
- I plan to stick around for thishotroddy
- Curious if this would even effect life on earth (if still there) except for providing a new set of constellations.wagshaft
- Most likely not. Solar systems tend to stay intact as stars are so far apart even durin a collision like this.monospaced
- < yes. I've read that there would be very few star collisions at all.sarahfailin
- < read that too, its not as much stars colliding then 900 trillion meteor orbits getting messed withmoldero
- humans wont make it that long anywaymoldero

- Our science museum has a version of this. As a kid I’d park myself next to it and stare at it until it was time to go. It was the only exhibit I visitedGnash
- When I Grow Up I'm going to build one of these. I've wanted to for years, since I first learnt about them...Nairn

"A New Map of All the Particles and Forces"
"We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe."
- I find these things infinitely fascinating but also infinitely impossible to understand, let alone understanding how scientists discover these things._niko
- But I guess that’s the point, the Higgs boson was theorized but not confirmed until the creation of the LHC and billions of dollars and thousands of scientists_niko
- Working for millions of collective hours. So o don’t feel so bad for not quite getting it but still._niko
- it's not really that hard to get _niko, you just need to drink moregrafician
- Or smoke/ingest more certain substances lol_niko

People with allergies and asthma have higher risk of psychiatric disorders
In a new, large-scale study, eczema, hay fever, and asthma are linked to an increased risk of developing mental illnesses. The study backs up previous work and may help to guide clinicians as they treat these people.

Small Animals Live in a Slow-Motion World
Time seems to pass more slowly for lighter animals with faster metabolismshttps://www.scientificamerican.c…
TIME FLIES (BUT NOT IF YOU'RE A FLY) To a fly, an incoming swat appears to move in slow motion (as many would-be bug killers have suspected all along). That's because flies process about four times more visual information per second than humans do—they see 250 frames per second to our 60

- pathetically misleading title to that article... the article actually states products to be labeled "no scientific evidence that the product works"...PonyBoy
- ... not even remotely close to the statement 'this product does not work' like the article title suggestsPonyBoy
- my bias didn't let me catch that. you're correct.Gnash
- but they will need to point out that there is “no scientific evidence that the product works”Gnash

After months of speculation and leaked documents, NASA's long-awaited EM Drive paper has finally been peer-reviewed and published. And it shows that the 'impossible' propulsion system really does appear to work.
http://www.sciencealert.com/it-s…
The paper:
Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio-Frequency Cavity in Vacuum: http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/…- is it pronounced "M " or "E,M"?Gnash
- also, is there an idiots explanation of how it gets arounds newtons 3rd law?Gnash
- answer to your 2nd Q is in the first link, just a hypothesis atm though. some weird stuff about quantum mechanics theories.uan
- quantum mechanics is outside my wheelhouse, hence the need for an idiots guide. pretty interesting stuff.Gnash
- wow, just got goosebumps._niko
- this is does a pretty good job at explaining it

- Actually, first directly-imaged exoplanet was around Formhault, taken a few years ago.. http://bit.ly/28X8XD…detritus
- I really don't understand <this one, either - its orbit is about the same as our 'Planet X', yet is 1200LY away.. yet we can't directly image our Planet X?detritus
