"Kami mau melapor ke polisi, polisi punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke TNI, tentara punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke DPR RI, anggota DPR banyak yang punya dapur SPPG," kata Iman Zanatul Haeri, seorang guru, di hadapan Mahkamah Konstitusi.
The Netherlands actually demanded Indonesia to pay over 6 billion Dutch guilders (debt incurred by the Dutch East Indies govt) as the price for Indonesia's independence. The two sides eventually agreed on 4.3b guilders (US$15.9b today). Indonesia only finished paying it in 2003
In chaotic systems, the smallest fluctuations get amplified. As scientist Edward Lorenz put it in the 1960s and 70s, even a seagull flapping its wings might eventually make a big difference to the weather. Here's how scientists came to understand what chaos is, and how to wrangle it: https://t.co/7DrDEptTcB
A collaborative math project, started by Terence Tao, showed that mathematics could be conducted experimentally, and worked on by large groups of mathematicians at once. In doing so, it turned up something genuinely new.

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
My physics oral exam at the ENS: "Have you seen videos of supraconductors levitating above magnets?
1. Prove that they do levitate.
2. If a supraconductor levitates for 30 min, estimate an upper bound for its resistivity."
1 hour exam at the blackboard, no preparation, no documents, no computer or calculator, no pen or paper... just you standing alone with a piece a chalk and a top physicist staring at you.
Supraconductivity wasn't even part of the program. The whole point was to figure out a decent model and derive everything from first principles (ie Maxwell equations, which you were supposed to know by heart, alongside approximate values of the universal constants).
Note: my specialty was math, not physics. I can't even imagine what the questions were Iike for the physics students.
The philosophy entrance exam to ENS, France's most selective school and the one with the most Nobel Prizes per student worldwide.
This year's subject: "The authority of science." 6 hours. Handwritten.
