We did – and it was awesome.

It’s about time somebody stood up to the likes of Alan Jones and the top end of town.

Michael Daley and Labor will put the future of young people of this State before splurging $2.2 billion on perfectly good stadiums in Sydney.

On Saturday 23rd March, get two for one, vote the Liberals out and sack Alan Jones!

Vale Vera Rubin and thank you for your amazing contributions to science.

Vera Rubin discovered dark matter and fought for the place that women deserve in science. Still, she never received a Nobel Prize. Discover this amazing moment of science.

This is a 109-year-old specimen of a young pouch thylacine (aka the Tassie Tiger) from Museums Victoria. It is special because it has much more intact DNA than other specimens, enabling scientists at The University of Melbourne to piece together the entire genetic sequence of the thylacine for the first time. What did they uncover? Their genetic health was in decline for millennia before we humans got involved. https://theconversation.com/tasmanian-tigers-were-going-extinct-before-we-pushed-them-over-the-edge-88947

According to quantum mechanics, a vacuum isn't empty at all. It's actually filled with quantum energy and particles that blink in and out of existence for a fleeting moment - strange signals that are known as quantum fluctuations.
