Cats are liquids, as they conform to the shape of their container.

Angela Strassheim - Evidence
Evidence is a group of photographs taken at homes where familial homicides have occurred. Long after the struggles have ended in these spaces, despite the cleaning, repainting and subsequent re-habitation of these homes, the “Blue Star” solution activates the physical memory of blood through its contact with the remaining DNA proteins on the walls. The black and white images are long exposures – from ten minutes to one hour – with minimal ambient night light pouring in from the crevices of windows and doors, capturing the physical presence of blood as a lurid glow.

“Dr. Mohamed Babu of Mysore, South India, noticed something strange about the ants scurrying around on the floor of his kitchen: after drinking some spilled milk, their abdomens turned white. Realizing the insects’ bodies were transparent, he got an idea for a stunning set of photographs.
Mixing different varieties of food coloring along with sugar, water and a waxy base, he set out small droplets of liquid on a white plastic sheet outside in his garden and let the ants do the rest.
‘As the ant’s abdomen is semi-transparent, the ants gain the colors as they sip the liquid,’ he said.
Striving to get the best possible photos, Babu ran into an unexpected problem: too many ants. ‘I really toiled to get a photo. The crowd always used to become unmanageable within a few minutes and while I managed my camera with my right hand, my left hand was busy removing the extra ants.’ After a number of repeated attempts, he finally got the photos he was looking for.
‘Curiously, the ants preferred light colors—yellow and green. The darker green and blue drops had no takers, until there was no space around the preferred yellow and green drops.’ Some of the ants even wandered between the colors, creating unique mixtures of different hues inside their own stomachs.”

What Does A Black Hole Sound Like?
Sept. 9, 2003: Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have found, for the first time, sound waves from a supermassive black hole. The “note” is the deepest ever detected from any object in our Universe. The tremendous amounts of energy carried by these sound waves may solve a longstanding problem in astrophysics.
The black hole resides in the Perseus cluster of galaxies located 250 million light years from Earth. In 2002, astronomers obtained a deep Chandra observation that shows ripples in the gas filling the cluster. These ripples are evidence for sound waves that have traveled hundreds of thousands of light years away from the cluster’s central black hole.
“The Perseus sound waves are much more than just an interesting form of black hole acoustics,” says Steve Allen, of the Institute of Astronomy and a co-investigator in the research. “These sound waves may be the key in figuring out how galaxy clusters, the largest structures in the Universe, grow.”
Uh… Light can’t escape a black hole how can sound?
You’re right. That’s what’s odd about this post
I think what this post was trying to get at was that they’re not actually referring to sound waves, but radio waves or other types of electromagnetic radiation which can be ‘translated’ - so to speak - into sound.
Thaaaaaaat’s not really what I was getting at
electromagnetic waves are light photons. So they all travel the same speed, ergo cannot escape the black hole anymore than visible light can. For something to escape the black hole it would have to travel back in time.
Nobody ever presses play

I don’t understand, and I am frightened by things I don’t understand.
Actually, this is very simple to understand. This device is one of the most remarkable developments of technology I have ever seen. You may see as something goofy or creepy, and yeah, it might look like it, but this robot was created to carry supplies and equipment that weigh hundreds of pounds for scientists who can’t easily carry all that themselves, even with dollies or carts.
You see the snow and ice in the background? The robot is carrying all that weight in a snowy climate for some scientists. It stumbles and slips on the ice, but then it rights itself. Every time it’s just about to fall, it criss-crosses its legs and catches itself whereas someone like me would fall flat on his/her face. This robot is an outstanding AI model. It calculates where it is slipping and figures out exactly how to get back up.
Yeah it’s outstanding but god damn I can’t stop laughing at it jesus christ that’s hilarious look at it it nearly falls for like five whole seconds and I just can’t
I’ve seen this thing before and it is truly a work of awesome but in this gif I swore at first that it was two people with their heads trapped in a box trying not to fall over.
Yeah I totally thought thehootax was just yanking my chain when I first read that.
I thought it was two people too. Took a bit of deliberate thinking to overcome my instinctive worry about them.
