100 years ago, Bengali physicist Satyendra N. Bose published this 4-page paper in Zeitschrift für Physik, after asking if Einstein agreed with its content and would submit it. Einstein himself translated it from English to German. This was the beginning of Quantum Statistics. 1/4
You can read Bose's paper here: link.springer.com/article/10…, if you can read German and Physics ;) 3/4

"To get to an AI we can trust [we need] a cross-national effort similar to Cern’s high-energy physics consortium [...] focused on AI safety and reliability [...] AI techniques that belong to humanity rather than to just a handful of greedy companies."

New paper on galactic bar formation and evolution in the cosmological context is out! 🤩
Tldr; we explore 1) the question “which galaxies form bars?” (spoiler, it has a lot to do with their dark matter content), and 2) how bar properties evolve in time 🧵

A gente precisa começar a se revoltar
Enquanto o #RS era devorado pelas águas, 8 de 25 projetos antiambientais tramitaram no Congresso Nacional. Tipo o PL 10.273/2018, que exclui o imposto de atividades poluidoras, como a #mineração, e o PL 364/2019, que elimina a proteção dos campos nativos da Mata Atlântica.👇
