At the time of the brazen heist of $102 million in jewels from the Louvre last month, the password to the world-famous museum's video surveillance system was simply "Louvre," according to a museum employee with knowledge of the system. abcnews.link/Ky5641h
Wildest nerd-dream scenario… if it works out 🤞
Denis Villeneuve talks about his desire to direct RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA:
“There's a possibility of adapting an Arthur C. Clarke novel, ‘RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA’. Like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ it’s about astronauts coming into contact with another civilization. It’s an exploration where we engage with technology that could realistically exist in the future, unlike ‘DUNE’, which leans more toward fantasy. For the first time, I’d be able to work on hard science fiction. I’d love to do that at least once in my life.”

Finished reading “Ends of the world” by @PeterBrannen1 And I have a favorite mass extinction now - the Devonian, apparently caused by overachiever TREES. Wonder where the root system-fungal alliance/network aka the wood wide web fits into the process of accelerated weathering?

TIL from “To explain the world” by Steven Weinberg that Snell’s Law of Refraction is commonly called Snell’s Law everywhere in the world, except for France. The French call it “la loi des Descartes” because Descartes was first to publish it #frenchphysics
