Is the universe expanding or are we shrinking? in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

If that were so, some parts of us would be shrinking faster than the speed of light!

These stairs, if not an A.I.-generated image, were designed and approved by true-blue, card-carrying entropists.

Fuck russia for making me feel indifferent about a drought, for making me feel like they deserve it.

I haven't yet seen the series, and this image, as a standalone object without context, is a work of art, I love it.

Taking a more direct path with a more powerful rocket, it took the Voyager probes just a year and a half to get there. Of course, they also zoomed right past towards Saturn and beyond.

But hey, YOUR narrative doesn't fit the algorithm! You know the one - the bleak and cynical, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe "too cool for school (and for voting)" narrative!

If a 1D figure has length, a 2D figure has area, and a 3D figure has volume, are there names for what's inside 4D, 5D figures and so on? (lemmy.world)

Imagine modern tech could resurrect old movie stars, which movie remake would you like to see them in? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

Regarding the Fine Structure Constant in the spectral emission lines of a hydrogen atom, does the narrow gap/black line represent 1 out of 137 slices or possible steps of something? (lemmy.world)

In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron.

Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black.

Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?

If space didn't expand/accelerate, would photons keep zipping along forever in the same wavelength in which they were emitted? (lemmy.world)

If two identical radios are side by side and tuned to the same frequency, will they both pick up the signal at 100%, or will they wrestle for the same radio waves? (lemmy.world)

In the deep, far future, at the time of the "heat death" of the universe, if I turn on a radio will I get the sound of static or of total silence? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone else see an alleged old painting or black-and-white photo you've never seen before, are unsure if it's legit or a recent fake created with AI? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
