wish there was a way to put in the license field "this is explicitly not protected but if you don't credit you're officially an asshole" and like, have it be socially binding that others think they're an asshole because you've set out your official rules without having to make it Literally Illegal
rather than "this is public domain but please attribute if possible" "idiot, why did you make it public domain then" or "cc-by that i won't actually enforce" being the closest possible options
really i do not know how cringe it is that i care about this shit over my bad creations that are not worth stealing or how evilbrained i am or whatever i should be murdered to death
Peter Higgs was born on May 29, 1929. A British theoretical physicist, Emeritus Professor in the University of Edinburgh, and Nobel Prize laureate for his work on the mass of subatomic particles. In the 1960s, Higgs proposed that broken symmetry in electroweak theory could explain the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular. This so-called Higgs mechanism, which was proposed by several physicists besides Higgs at about the same time, predicts the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson, the detection of which became one of the great goals of physics. This, in part, led to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider.
Been a long time since i felt like crying at uni, not in a wrong way but when you listen to the teacher and feel this unfathomable wonder and realize just how everything relates... i learned about how german nationalist ideas made the country gatekeep the most avant-garde techniques for lens making and that allowed them to have access to optical devices such as improved microscopes that other countries couldn't and thus germans are a big deal during the xx century, one of the guys who devised how to get such lenses was the son of a mine accountant and he ended up being a pioneer in advocating 8 hour workdays for his father was never able to play with him during his childhood, the english lost a lot of impulse since they vanished optics from their compulsory college physics courses and optical instruments ended up playing a pivotal role during the physics revolutions of xx century

Essence—no such thing ever hath existed to begin with
‘Tis naught but a temporary cluster of particles
Immured within the brittle body is the ephemeron of life
Devoured by entropy it shall return to nihil.
Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks of matter and the carriers of the fundamental forces in the universe. They are the smallest known particles and cannot (currently) be broken down into smaller constituents. Understanding elementary particles is crucial for exploring the fundamental nature of the universe and its underlying laws. This page provides an in-depth look at…
