Yeah, it's a Tiktok video filter effect. Basically you use the filter and the sky becomes a greenscreen effect. It even works around buildings, trees, skylines, etc. Pretty cool stuff.

There's some really cool filters, and some downright disturbing ones

They're honestly pretty advanced. They may look pretty crap but keep in mind that this is just regular kids doing this without any training just using filters

When a crash is a success.


After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target on Monday, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space.

Mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, announced the successful impact at 7:14 p.m. EDT.

As a part of NASA’s overall planetary defense strategy, DART’s impact with the asteroid Dimorphos demonstrates a viable mitigation technique for protecting the planet from an Earth-bound asteroid or comet, if one were discovered.

Swedish Scientist wins Nobel Prize for Medicine for discovering part of human evolution.


Swedish scientist Svante Paabo has won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that helped explain what makes humans unique and provided key insights into our immune system, including our vulnerability to severe COVID-19.

Techniques that Mr Paabo spearheaded allowed researchers to compare the genome of modern humans with that of other hominins — the Denisovans as well as Neanderthals.

"Just as you do an archaeological excavation to find out about the past, we sort of make excavations in the human genome," he said at a news conference held by Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.

While Neanderthal bones were first discovered in the mid-19th century, only by understanding their DNA — often referred to as the code of life — have scientists been able to fully understand the links between species.

This included the time when modern humans and Neanderthals diverged as a species, around 800,000 years ago, said Anna Wedell, chair of the Nobel Committee.

"Paabo and his team also surprisingly found that gene flow had occurred from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens, demonstrating that they had children together during periods of co-existence," she said.

Nobel Prize for Chemistry


The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 is about making difficult processes easier. Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal have laid the foundation for a functional form of chemistry – click chemistry – in which molecular building blocks snap together quickly and efficiently. Carolyn Bertozzi has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms.

Nobel Prize for Physics


Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have each conducted groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated. Their results have cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information.

I didnt understand a word of your post so I didnt bother clicking on the link cause I got no hope lol.
Im a simple man, I failed miserably at school.
Infact Im considering doing english lessons, cant even spell properly.
But this is a good thread.

Actually a little cooler than that. CC is about a proximity catalyst that the catalyst does not react to the surroundings. Opens up a world of non-viable reactions where the only requirement to push an unfavourable reaction is getting the CC package in proximity rather than a gazzilion intermediary steps to make it work.

The biochem application is just low hanging fruit where the returns are high. The applicability of this to chemical synthesis is staggering. It basically changes entire textbooks - its that game changing if its adopted mainstream.

A very, very cool thing. Especially for drug manufacture 8-)

I think the possibilities for quantum communications in interstellar space is enormous and exciting. Even just the novelty, imagine a high powered telescope out at Pluto to take images of what happened on the Earth 4 hours before. You could even have it closer for better detail just not as far back obviously.
