This week the FSB arrested Ilya Traber, a St. Petersburg businessman from the same world Putin came from. Before Putin ran the largest country on earth, he carried his boss's suitcase in that city.

in the 1990s, the US government classified 128-bit SSL encryption as a "munition" under ITAR, putting it in the same legal bucket as missiles and tanks.

As a result, Netscape and Microsoft had to develop two entirely separate versions of their web browsers:

This is a real translation of signals captured by NASA.

[Philosophy Of Physics @PhilosophyOfPhy]

Before heading the Manhattan Project, J. Robert Oppenheimer was a brilliant theoretical physicist.

In 1939, he and his student George Volkoff calculated what happens when a massive star runs out of fuel.

They proved that gravity would overcome atomic forces, compressing the star’s core past the point of no return.

When Oppenheimer published his calculations showing that a star could collapse into an infinitely dense point, what we now call a black hole, the physics community, including Albert Einstein, flatly rejected it.

Einstein even published a paper that same year arguing that matter could never be packed tightly enough to form a “Schwarzschild singularity.”

Oppenheimer, known for getting easily discouraged when his ideas faced heavy resistance, completely abandoned the topic.

He never wrote another paper on stellar collapse, and the study of these objects stalled for decades because the world’s top minds assumed they were just mathematical ghosts.

Oppenheimer’s math was completely flawless.

In the 1960s, astronomers began detecting pulsars and intense X-ray sources from deep space.

Physicists like John Wheeler and Roger Penrose dusted off Oppenheimer’s 1939 equations, proving that black holes were not just real, but a common feature of our universe.
