Lev Landau was arrested during Stalin’s purges in April 1938 and imprisoned for a year. Physicist Pyotr Kapitza repeatedly appealed for his release and personally assumed responsibility for him, an extremely dangerous intervention in Stalinist society.

Landau was released in April 1939. He subsequently developed his theory of superfluid helium, explaining the liquid through collective excitations such as phonons and rotons. That work eventually brought him the 1962 Nobel Prize. One of condensed-matter physics’ foundational theories depended partly on a scientist risking his own position to keep another scientist alive.

Andrew Wiles worked on Fermat's Last Theorem alone in his attic for 7 years and told nobody except his wife.

The problem was 358 years old. Fermat scribbled in a margin in 1637 that he had a proof and no room to write it, and every mathematician since had failed.

Wiles saw the statement in a library book at 10 years old. He never let it go.

He was a Princeton professor when he started in 1986. He stopped publishing new work and released old results in pieces to hide the silence.

He announced it in Cambridge in June 1993, over 3 lectures, revealing the target only at the end. Newspapers ran it worldwide.

Then a referee found a gap. One step in the proof did not hold, and the error was fundamental.

He spent 14 months trying to close it in public view, with the whole field watching. He was ready to quit.

The fix arrived in September 1994. He has said he stared at it in disbelief for 20 minutes.

The BBC filmed him describing that moment. He gets a few words out, then turns away from the camera in tears.

He kept the greatest result of the century secret so nobody could take it.

New York University professor Hong Wang has won the Fields Medal for her work three-dimensional Kakeya set conjecture, inspired by a simple question that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century. But what is a “Kakeya-type” problem? https://t.co/pb7eriagP2

El gran @ApuntesCiencia comenta en @pcoffeebreak, introducido por @hsocasnavarro nuestro artículo sobre la detección del primer azúcar en el espacio.

Y lo hace de forma magistral, completa y muy generosa.

¡Muchas gracias, amigos!

😱😱😱 Análisis erróneo de los datos de DESI publicado en Nature "encuentra" anisotropías en el universo a gran escala ... x @StartsWithABang ... válgame Dios !!!

[Ethan Siegel @StartsWithABang]

Famous study in error: the Universe isn’t anisotropic

Just two weeks ago, a bold claim was made: that DESI data reveals an anisotropic Universe, on larger scales than should be possible.

It's not possible; these errors explain why.

A Skeptical Guide to UFO Cases and Claims

With Steven Spielberg’s new blockbuster film "Disclosure Day" about to debut, scientists and educators will face a new barrage of student and public questions about UFOs (or, as they have been rebranded, UAPs).

@AndrewFraknoi has put together an updated guide to resources explaining what skeptics have found about UFO cases and claims. These include what really happened at Roswell, New Mexico, and analyses of the recent spate of military images, videos, and Congressional testimony. Most of the resources cited are easily and freely available on the Web. The free guide can be found at: https://t.co/6TOetnfM3h (PDF)

Here's how a lens flare (an internal reflection of the sun) can appear to "interact" with the background, almost as if it's going behind the clouds - ESPECIALLY in high contrast black=bright mode.

Kind of like that UFO video.
