Last week's story about Huawei's "galloping horse" reminded me of a stylist I worked with. Whenever I spotted a light stand, cable, or coffee cup in a shot, she'd shrug: "Yeah...but will you see it from a galloping horse?" Neuroscience says she's right. Your eyes aren't cameras. They're change detectors. Read more: llrichman.com/now

This power plant is famous because someone built a horse. It's memorable because of what happened after it was finished. That was the story I couldn't stop thinking about. Read more: llrichman.com/now

Think planetary rings are perfectly flat? Think again. 🪐 Saturn’s tiny moon, Daphnis, behaves like a cosmic speedboat, kicking up literal mountains of ice and dust over a mile high as it tears through the Keeler Gap. Gravity gets weird when you look close. Read the full deep dive: llrichman.com/now #SpaceScience #Astronomy #Saturn

MIT physicists just simulated time travel using quantum-entangled photons. ⚛️🕰️ No, it’s not a Delorean, but it’s closer to the "Interstellar" gravity-message theory than you’d think. Deep dive into the real science here: llrichman.substack.com/p/197… #SciFi #Physics #Interstellar Plus, if you need a new read, I’m checking out the latest from @NathanHystad (his cosmic mysteries are top-tier).

We just got a 20-year flight path to Alpha Centauri. 🚀 New research into 'metajets' has unlocked 3D maneuverability using pure light momentum—no fuel, no contact. As an author, this is the 'hard' in Hard SF. Why this changes everything for interstellar travel (Thread) 👇

CERN just proved we can move the most volatile substance in the universe by road. 🚛⚛️ This is exactly the kind of "grounded" tech I use in my series. Check out my deep dive into the BASE experiment + grab Book 1 for 99¢ while the sale lasts! bit.ly/3NYALjH #physics
Scientists at CERN are taking some antiprotons out for a spin in a never-tried-before test drive. If this so-called antimatter comes into contact with actual matter — even for a fraction of an instant — it will be annihilated in a quick flash of energy. youtube.com/watch?v=3f2fA6_w… Read the full story here: bit.ly/47mlnnP

⚛️ CERN just put the most volatile substance in the known universe into a truck and drove it down the road." ⚛️🚛 92 antiprotons. 1 ton of superconducting magnets. 8km of road. It’s the world's first "antimatter delivery system." 🚛💥 Why this "insane" experiment changes everything (plus a 99¢ sale on my sci-fi thriller, #TheChiralAgent!): bit.ly/3NYALjH #Physics #CERN #SciFiBooks #BookDeals

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.
