I really dig this stuff. Wish I was clever enough to really understand it.

when I grow up I want to be a atsrophysicist

I love this stuff! Quite a big deal this, the merging of two neutron stars, and the first time light has been detected from a gravitational-wave event.

Incredible to think that the gold or platinum in your ring/watch came from such events.

Another nice article on it

According to his estimates, this neutron star collision produced around 200 Earth masses of pure gold, and maybe 500 Earth masses of platinum. "It's a ridiculously huge amount on human scales," Kasen says. He personally has a platinum wedding ring and notes that "it's crazy to think that these things that seem very far out and kind of exotic actually impact the world and us in kind of intimate ways."

Fixie/cycle courier culture is pretty cool - I just don't get the "check me smash through traffic and people on a brakeless bike" bit.

 

That said - it was a well made video! I dig the local vibe and downtown jhb feel.

This oke isn't going to live long. Watched premium rush too many times.

Would love to know how they filmed it though, especially in between all the traffic.

He has some skills, I'll give him that.
