Today: compound leaves in Polypaths.
A fern frond is a stem with N smaller leaves — each one able to be any shape, each curling on its own three axes.
The shape library that drives my single-leaf page now drives every leaflet on every frond. Every parameter recurses.
I used to think structures like this needed a different engine. Turns out it's just one slider deeper. #p5js
有趣的是這結果跟過去單一電廠周邊的小型研究不太一致——以往多半找不到顯著關聯,這次把尺度拉到全國級才浮出來。資深作者 Petros Koutrakis 也提醒:未量測的混雜因子仍可能有影響,下一步應該深入探討暴露途徑、潛伏期與特定癌症類型。

In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth.
That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon.
Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
Visible to the naked eye.
Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory.
A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation.
That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.
A major new paper reframes aging as a systems failure of epigenetic information. Not wear and tear but a software problem. This is what the Information Theory of Aging predicts and, if correct, means aging is reversible.
