Assume a spherical chicken…

Excellent, physics in service of humanity!

Elements formed by alpha capture. Since alpha particles have 2 protons, it’s generally elements with an even number of protons.

Some stellar atmosphere models also add “alpha”, which provides an extra knob for the abundance of alpha-capture elements. If you need anything more than that, you’re doing some niche astrophysics.

They’ll die of diabetes together. How romantic!

Absolutely, but that’s not what your meme says. Peer review in this case says the manuscript should be significantly revised before publishing.

Because Einstein’s science had absolutely no basis in fact.

I believe he was a fellow seminary student with the late R.C. Sproul.

The days are long, while the years are short.

And don’t feed it after midnight!

In the best case, the detection is at the 2.4 sigma confidence level (less than the usual 3 for reasonable confidence and will below the 5 required for strong confidence), and if previously suspected issues with the instrument are true, the detection could disappear completely.

I do not have a strong confidence in this result. (But at least they didn’t publish it in Nature, in which case you would absolutely know it’s wrong…)

Boo!

“Who rescued who?”

If you don’t 100% know exactly what you’re doing and 240 volts is involved, you shouldn’t do it.

120 volts will give you a nice little shock, but 240 volts will kill you.

Physicists are notorious for approximating, and astronomers are even worse. But there are some subfields where they care about being more precise, and you maybe break the periodic table into a handful of elements plus alphas. And there’s that one or two people getting exquisite spectral resolution and signal-to-noise on a few stars and measuring the abundance of Technetium or whatever.

You need to zoom in to the center of the bright elliptical. It would have been easier to see without zooming if they’d subtracted off the elliptical.

I’m not going to dare to lecture the author of pytest-logging-strict. Thank you for your service. 🫡
