"On what's going through his mind these days
"What I'm really interested in on a personal level are my dreams. I have a long history, really going back to like when I'm four, of violence dreams. Those dreams, they got so intense a few years ago that I took a trip down to Brazil to see this healer, John of God.""

Oldest galaxies and the re-ionization period
https://gizmodo.com/the-universes-oldest-galaxies-could-be-right-in-the-mil-1828390203
Citando:
"Atoms started forming from protons and electrons a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang. The resulting gas cooled, creating stars, but the stars didn’t last long. They exploded in huge supernovae, sending energy out into space. This split the atoms back up once again, “re-ionizing” them. It’s unclear when the first stars started to form or when re-ionization started, but they’re important periods in the Universe’s history, because they set the ball rolling to create the galaxies we see today."
The most widely accepted model says that galaxies are actually visible gas and dust coalescing inside larger haloes of a yet-to-be explained kind of mass called dark matter. Galaxies began forming with the first stars, but during the re-ionization period, astronomers think that temperatures rose too high, halting further galactic growth. Only at some later period, when large-enough dark matter halos coalesced, would the galaxy formation process pick up again."

Citando:
"The “Monster Galaxy”, also known as COSMOS-AzTEC-1, formed just 2 billion years after the Big Bang, and it turns more than a thousand Suns worth of gas into stars each year. Scientists still don’t understand these early galaxies very well, but now they have some new information that can shed light on why they form stars so blisteringly fast."
Um bosão de Higgs quando decai...
Torna-se o quê?

Citando:
"CERN say they have observed the Higgs boson decay into b quarks. The finding provides major support for the Standard Model, which has many implications for how we understand the world and the universe. "The Higgs boson is the least well-known and in many ways the most baffling particle in the standard model. Observing its decay to bottom quarks is a major milestone in our understanding of its properties," "
Conceito novo de aceleração de partículas
... testado com sucesso no CERN:
https://phys.org/news/2018-08-electrons-proton-driven-plasma.html
Citando:
"AWAKE, which stands for "Advanced WAKEfield Experiment", is a proof-of-principle R&D project investigating the use of protons to drive plasma wakefields for accelerating electrons to higher energies than can be achieved using conventional technologies. Traditional accelerators use what are known as radio-frequency (RF) cavities to kick the particle beams to higher energies. This involves alternating the electrical polarity of positively and negatively charged zones within the RF cavity, with the combination of attraction and repulsion accelerating the particles within the cavity. By contrast, in wakefield accelerators, the particles get accelerated by "surfing" on top of the plasma wave (or wakefield) that contains similar zones of positive and negative charges.
Plasma wakefields themselves are not new ideas; they were first proposed in the late 1970s. "Wakefield accelerators have two different beams: the beam of particles that is the target for the acceleration is known as a 'witness beam', while the beam that generates the wakefield itself is known as the 'drive beam'," "

"Conspiracies take off because the world is complex and people like things to make sense, according to Brooke Binkowski, former managing editor at the fact-checking website Snopes.com, which frequently debunks online theories.
“Conspiracy theories offer a neat package that wrap up all these events,” she says."

Steve e auroras?
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/8xb3xb/steve-is-a-radiant-purple-sky-ribbon-that-defies-explanation
Citando:
"Led by Bea Gallardo-Lacourt, a space scientist at the University of Calgary, the new study focuses on a Steve sighting that occurred on March 28, 2008. This appearance was fortuitously chronicled by the ground-based component of NASA’s THEMIS mission (called All‐Sky Imagers), as well as NOAA’s Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite (NOAA-17), which was overhead as Steve shone"(...)"Light from auroras is caused by particle precipitation, which occurs when high-energy charged particles cascade into the upper atmosphere along Earth’s magnetic field lines. No such high-energy precipitation was observed from the 2008 event. While there was an observed flux of lower-energy particles, that does not explain the vibrancy of Steve’s luminosity and color. By combing through data captured from above and below the purple and green ribbon, the authors concluded that the “skyglow could be generated by a new and fundamentally different mechanism in the ionosphere.”"
Genesis em Hollywood Bowl

"Flashback: Genesis Wrap Up Their Reunion Tour With a Peter Gabriel-Era Classic
But right before they played the final song at the last night of their Turn It On Again reunion tour in 2007, Phil Collins addressed the crowd and spoke from the heart.
“As we stand here right now there is nothing else planned, so that adds a lot more emotion to this evening than this being the last show of the last tour,” Collins told the audience at the Hollywood Bowl. “I’m 56. I joined this band when I was 19, so you can work that out. But Tony [Banks] and Mike [Rutherford] were already in it and they’re older than me. So this is very much a family group. We grew up together. I’ve never said it privately or publicly, but Tony I love you. Mike, I love you too. Now being British, we’re going to carry on with things. That’s enough of that.”
As they did every night of the tour, they then wrapped up the night not with one of their big 1980s pop hits, but rather with “The Carpet Crawlers” from their 1974 prog rock magnum opus The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. "

"Refined, bleached and deodorized, or R.B.D., coconut oil, which has been treated with solvents and subjected to intense heat, raises cholesterol so reliably that scientists have used it as a control when running experiments on different fats. The harsh processing may destroy some of the good essential fatty acids and antioxidants, such as lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid believed to raise good H.D.L. cholesterol.
“If you’re going to use coconut oil, make sure you get virgin oil,” Dr. Brenna said. “And, of course, everything in moderation.”"
Mudanças no tipo de sangue?

Citando:
"The discovery is enzymes from gut bacteria that can efficiently turn type-A human blood into type-O.
Type-O blood is special because it can be donated to anyone without the risk of a bad mismatch reaction.
The researchers, from the University of British Columbia, say clinical trials of the treatment could begin soon.
The gut bug enzymes remove markers from the surface of the donor red blood cells present in type A but not in type O.
Stripping them away means the recipient's immune system will think the donor type-A blood is type-O and will not attack it for being "foreign"."
