Thank this man for digital communication, data compression (ZIP, MP3), coding theory, and cryptography.

Claude Shannon’s biggest scientific contribution was the creation of information theory in his 1948 paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication.”

He defined “information” mathematically, introducing the concept of bits (binary digits) as the fundamental unit. He borrowed the term from thermodynamics to describe the uncertainty or information content in a message. Shannon entropy became the foundation of data compression and coding. He proved the Shannon limit (channel capacity theorem): there is a maximum rate (capacity) at which data can be transmitted over a noisy channel with arbitrarily low error, using proper encoding. His framework underlies digital communication, data compression (ZIP, MP3), coding theory, cryptography, the internet, mobile phones, and AI.

Happy 100th birthday Mel Brooks!

A centenary of laughs. The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety and many, many more. Thanks for the inspiration and endless joy.

A computer model showing the Laniakea galaxy supercluster and our place within it. The red dot in the image represents not Earth or the Solar System, but the Milky Way.

Scientists have long sought to determine exactly where our galaxy is located in the Universe. In 2014, a research team compiled data on nearly 100,000 galaxies and mapped their locations and movements through space. For the first time, we saw that the Milky Way is part of a much larger system of galaxies—a supercluster that scientists named Laniakea.

This supercluster has an approximate diameter of 520 million light-years, and the Milky Way is situated far from its center, practically at its very edge.

On the opposite side of Laniakea from the Milky Way lies a gravitational anomaly known as the Great Attractor, toward which the majority of the supercluster's galaxies (including our own) are migrating.

It actually gets better and better the longer you watch it.

Katelyn Ohashi’s routine didn’t just win, it forced gymnastics scoring to catch up with what fans already saw.

Bulgaria's BANGARANGA has all of the right elements to win Eurovision 2026!!

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Sebastian Steudtner, a German big-wave legend, conquered a monster wave at Nazaré, Portugal, soaring over 115 feet and setting a new surfing record.

@mynewcat Yes....that's a good point. She brings a special kind of comedic style that I don't think we've seen before

Hazel Brugger stole the entire show at #Eurovision2025 IMHO! What a comic talent! Perfect timing and truly funny and entertaining. She should enter the Eurovision Host Hall of Fame!! 👏👏

Grazie 🇮🇹 #Eurovision

🇱🇻 Latvia lets me forget that I‘m watching Eurovision. This takes me to whole new dimensions. I couldn‘t take my eyes of this for three minutes straight. This just authentically stands out from any other entry & is ART in its finest form 😍

Three shows, three of the most insane outfits in history. We'll never see her like again, truly.
