How is a giant ice cube in the South Pole helping us to detect ghostly particles from deep space? https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2026/press-release/
The 2026 physics prize was awarded to Francis Halzen for laying the foundation for an entirely new type of astronomy. His idea was to use glacial ice at the South Pole to capture extremely-hard-to-detect particles called neutrinos. The result was the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which can track neutrinos that originate in the distant cosmos. Neutrinos are hard to detect, but not impossible; you detect them indirectly by seeing the particles given off by interactions. Occasionally a neutrino collides with a particle in the ice and gives off a flash of light. This is detected by sensors buried in the clear glacial ice and sent up to the observatory above.


Adapted from his computer-animated video, Platonic Solid Rock, Dan Radin's The Platonic Solids Book combines beautiful 3-D computer graphics with an insightful and entertaining journey through the mathematics and recreations of polyhedra. Paper templates and detailed instructions guide the reader through the construction of the Platonic solids, the compounds of the Platonic solids, and an origami star polyhedron. The reader is led through an exploration of the philosophical nature of mathematics in the contexts of polyhedra. Chapters end with guiding questions for the reader to ponder. Finally, an appendix contains six lesson plans that can be adapted to teach students from elementary school through college. The Platonic Solids Book is an excellent textbook, reference book, teacher's resource, and recreational reading for the amateur or seasoned geometer.
"Hot off our chat about his book The Occult Timothy Leary, Joseph L. Flatley rejoins the Virtual Alexandria to talk about social engineering that even happens in the mystic and occult arenas. From hotel conference rooms enforcing intense psychological breakdown to prison cells detailing neurological control, we’ll explore how human belief systems can be systematically dismantled and rebuilt. We’ll examine the thin line between individual self-determination and coercive manipulation, revealing how everyday institutions, mass-market seminars, and radical leaders deploy psychological techniques to obtain power over others. Ultimately, you’ll find out whether individuals can consciously reprogram their own minds or remain perpetually conditioned by subtle forms of social engineering."
