"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" is a cowboy-styled country/western song written in 1948 by American songwriter Stan Jones.
Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra released this unforgettable instrumental version in 1961.

Graphene just broke a fundamental law of physics.
Its electrons just did something physicists thought was impossible. For nearly 200 years, metals have obeyed the Wiedemann-Franz law – the rule that electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity always rise and fall together.
But in ultra-clean graphene, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science found the opposite. As electrical conductivity increased, thermal conductivity dropped, shattering a principle taught in every physics textbook.
The key lies at the “Dirac point,” a strange electronic tipping point where graphene is neither a metal nor an insulator. Here, electrons stop behaving like individual particles. Instead, they flow collectively as a nearly perfect fluid – a state called a “Dirac fluid.”
This discovery doesn’t just rewrite the rules for graphene. It provides a tabletop window into extreme physics usually reserved for black holes and high-energy colliders. Scientists say this behavior could help probe mysteries of quantum entanglement, black hole thermodynamics, and the very fabric of matter itself.

Motörhead. “Hellraiser.” 1992. Jay Leno show. Lemmy wrote this w/ Ozzy, then both recorded it — this version made it to the Hellraiser III soundtrack. Also the first song Mikkey Dee played since joining from King Diamond. You can hear just how loud the band are for a TV studio ☠️
@DougOrth This was excellent.
