Interesting to see a different view on Hasidism because you really only get horror stories about sexual abuse, domestic abuse, abuse from those in power (the rabbbis), though I've only watched the first five minutes maybe it gets worse... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the brown stain over half of the face Credit: John Lee, National Museum of Denmark A marble head belonging to a centaur statue from the ancient Greek Parthenon has a substance on it that continues to stump scientists. The head, which has been housed in Denmark since 1688, is partly coated with a thin brown film that matches similar coatings found on parts of the Parthenon.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 2 Author Subscriber Share Posted February 2 Quote Human fossil discovery upends history of Palaeolithic Europe A surprise discovery of human remains in a German cave has “fundamentally changed” the story of our species’ migration into Europe. It suggests that Homo sapiens likely made it to Northern Europe 47,500 years ago, overlapping humans’ presence with Neanderthals. The detailed analysis of stone tools from a re-excavated cave near the German village of Ranis, about 240km southwest of Berlin, was conducted by a large group led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Their findings were published today across three major research papers in the journal Nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 6 Author Subscriber Share Posted February 6 Quote Rare 3D tree fossil “unlike any alive today” A 352-million-year-old tree fossil has been discovered in Canada which resembles nothing that we have ever seen before. The find is also very rare because, unlike most fossilised trees, it shows what the overall tree’s form would have looked like. Usually, only the trunks of trees fossilise. This doesn’t reveal the tree’s canopy or how it might have looked overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is among largest Late Stone Age settlements found in the country. The settlement was found near the Tamiš River in northeast Serbia’s Banat region which it shares with Hungary and Romania.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 20 Author Subscriber Share Posted May 20 Quote A brief history of the Persian polymath who gave his name to algorithms Algorithms have become integral to our lives. From social media apps to Netflix, algorithms learn your preferences and prioritise the content you are shown. Google Maps and artificial intelligence are nothing without algorithms. So, we’ve all heard of them, but where does the word “algorithm” even come from? Over 1,000 years before the internet and smartphone apps, Persian scientist and polymath Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī invented the concept of algorithms. In fact, the word itself comes from the Latinised version of his name, “algorithmi”. And, as you might suspect, it’s also related to algebra. Largely lost to time..........
