Destroyed palace…
Researchers have uncovered new evidence that an earthquake may have caused the destruction and abandonment of a flourishing Canaanite palatial site about 3,700 years ago. (1) Ephemeral palaces. Ephemeral humans. Ephemeral Earth. Ephemeral universe. Search through that looking glass of life. Through the mirror of death. And see. What is left unchanged? But the rumbles…

Eternal sounds…
Antonio De Lorenzi takes a seat onstage in the concert hall of Museo del Violino in Cremona, Italy, and carefully tucks a Stradivarius (a violi crafted in 1727 and called Vesuvio) under his chin. Through an earpiece, the soloist hears a metronomic beat as a voice says, “Go.” De Lorenzi draws his bow across the…

Massive filaments fuel the growth of galaxies and supermassive black holes
Based on direct observations researchers have discovered massive filaments between galaxies in a proto-cluster, extending over more than 1 million parsecs and providing the fuel for intense formation of stars and the growth of super massive black holes within the proto-cluster. (1) A filament fit for space: Silk is proven to thrive in outer space…

Eternal vortices. Ephemeral cosmos.
In 1949, famous physicist Lars Onsager published a paper discussing the potential implications of superfluids and turbulence. Now, 70 years later, a team of Australian researchers has conducted an experiment to back his theory - using a tiny quantum version of Jupiter's 'Great Red Spot' to do it. Unlike the Great Red Spot, for this…

Bubbles… Being…
The flow of granular materials, such as sand and catalytic particles used in chemical reactors, and enables a wide range of natural phenomena, from mudslides to volcanos, as well as a broad array of industrial processes, from pharmaceutical production to carbon capture. While the motion and mixing of granular matter often display striking similarities to…
