Tout est rien et réciproquement

This entire scene is like a sociopathic masterclass on damage control.

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) the rotating “centrifuge” set let the camera film walking/jogging in real gravity-like motion.

This is Officer Brian Santos and his K9 partner Kyra from Cocoa PD in Florida. They’ve been a team since 2018.

Impressive!

This farmer has a puppy that hasn’t been trained to herd sheep yet. He lets her into the pen and instinct immediately takes over. She somehow just knows exactly what to do. Kind of crazy.

Jim Henson died on this day in 1990. RIP

Guillermo del Toro on Thomas Vinterberg's "Another Round" (2020):

"It’s extraordinary to see a movie that moves you, that affects you, the way this one did to me. I wanted to say something: The title in Danish [‘Druk’], and the title in English, both are very, very beautiful.

In English, it’s because ‘Another Round’ means all these characters are going to get another round at life, and the other is about binge-drinking, the original title, but it is the same thing: Can we get intoxicated with life? Can we take it again?

The final scene is one of the most extraordinary things I’ve seen on film ever. It truly captures something that is lightning in a bottle."
