V³ SciTech
VniVersVs' science and technology. Because being human in the universe is just too awesome to not to
Todo List in python, day 2. done by friday
using tkinter :D
I can't imagine what kind of evil being would be capable of this
day one, basic layout
2d because 3d is HARD :(
Some of the possible configurations of a Rubik's cube. I've been coding a deep neural network to solve it, man it's fun (but also hard). The combinatorial structure is simple and hard, and there are just too many symmetries to keep track.
We can probably generate sufficient energy for billions of people with renewables, but beyond the challenges of transition, there is the challenge of energy storage.
Hubble deep space. Very famous "photograph" of extremely far away objects, and even today one of the pictures of the most distant objects ever taken.
Every dot or circle is a galaxy. This universe is just too awesome and huge.
Mangrove in Sundarbans park, India. Tropical forests are in the top 10 list of most valuable things on the planet.
Alpha Fold II was able to satisfactorily solve protein folding. This has the very probable potential of revolutionizing biology, medicine, ecology, etc...
Proteins are the building blocks of life. The more we know about them, the more we know about all life.
The Oort Cloud, the cosmic border of our solar system has a few billion asteroids.
Some day we'll reach it and it will be awesome!
Decision tree in one of Alpha Go's moves while playing with the world champion Lee Sedol, South Korea, 2016.
It was the most nail-biting game ever!
Trees have super powers.
African Great Green Wall. Some successes in mitigating ecological degradation!
Artist rendition of a dyson swarm. The idea is to extract stellar energy "from the source"
is this the future of energy?
A knight's tour (or ride). Can you start at the dot with a knight and reach every cell in the chess board by following a path without repeating cells and ending up at the start?
Don't look at solution if you want to try it :D
Microwave background radiation. The middle line is the Milky Way.
now THIS is a scitech center :O
Of all the finite groups (symmetry systems of sets), mathematicians were able to classify all simple ones. It was a massive undertaking spanning thousands of pages, hundreds of papers, tens of mathematicians.
The picture shows a 2D and a 3D representations of one of the groups of Lie type ( known as the E8 group)

There are lots of promises for carbon nanotubes, but so far few applications use it. Still, even if it fulfills at least half of its promises, it will already be a great benefit to industry.
one can hope
Unlike what is commonly believed by many people, the amazon rainforest is not the "lungs of the world".
It is, however, the largest carbon sink in the world, holds the third highest biodiversity in the world, and has the biggest hydrological flows in the world: the Amazonas river and the aerial rivers that bathe South America.
Is there anything more beautiful than the universe?
