I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
The oscillating frequencies of two short gamma-ray bursts are the
best evidence yet for the formation of ‘impossible’ hypermassive neutron
stars that can briefly defy gravity before collapsing to form a black
hole.
A neutron star
forms when a large star runs out of fuel and explodes, leaving behind a
super-dense remnant that can pack the mass of the sun into the space of
a city. Usually, a neutron star can only contain a bit more than two
times the mass of the sun before it undergoes gravitational collapse to
form a black hole.
However, when two regular neutron stars in a binary system merge, their
combined mass can exceed this limit — but only briefly, and the stage
is difficult to spot.
“We need to start with two light neutron
stars in the binary in order to form a hypermassive neutron star,
otherwise there would be a direct collapse to a black hole,” Cecilia
Chirenti, who led the research, told Space.com. Chirenti is an
astrophysicist at the University of Maryland, NASA’s Goddard Space
Flight Center in Maryland and the Center for Mathematics, Computation
and Cognition at the Federal University of ABC in Brazil. …
Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.
Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.
