Both male and female fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) – commonly seen hovering around rotting fruit and vegetables - are active at dawn and dusk, and have a deep sleep at night. They also exhibit a marked ‘resting state’ during the afternoon, which Professor Isaac likens to a siesta that conserves the fly’s energy and reduces damaging exposure to the sun during hot afternoons.
“However, we noted that after mating, females still slept deeply at night, but ditched the usual siesta in favour of extra foraging and searching for places to lay her eggs,” he says. “This behaviour lasts for around eight days – and our research findings suggest that this change is not by choice. Females who mated with males that produced sperm without the sex peptide continued to take their siesta. So we’re certain that this change of behaviour is chemically induced by the male.”
I don't really get that quantum observation thingy at all. I used to think it was just because any method you use to observe electrons is going to disrupt their movement in some way, but now I learn it's just magic. It pisses me off.
no, it's not magic
we just don't understand why it happens that way yet

gravity wasn't magic just because we didn't understand what was happening and then suddenly become physics once we understood

Gravity is highly magical. Magic and voodoo. Hoodoo and magicks.
Gravity is basically explained with by saying mass attracts other mass. Then you ask why, then they say because. If you press it they start talking about curves and depression in space and you are into magic territory. But then others go on and on about waves or particles, and some-else mentions gravitrons and then everyone is confused. Also ~dark energy~. I'm telling you, its just magic. A wizard did it.

you not understanding what they're talking about doesn't make it magic
A wizard doing it definitely makes it magic. That's practically a scientific definition.

ive always been partial to the thought that the quantum physics thing being changed due to observation was really just a limit on the human mind to perceive what is happening.

I could be wrong but I think Einstein's relativity said that gravity isn't mass attracting other mass.
I don't really know though I'm not a scientist and in fact I am terrible with science. What I know comes from 100 level astronomy classes and shit on the History channel.

relativity says it's curves in spacetime
quantum mechanics doesn't quite agree (at the moment)

Man what the Hell is magic then
Just something that doesn't exist?
Then nothing is magic
It's one of those words I find the meaning all sorts of bizarre
Like supernatural
If it's happening
It is part of the natural world
So anything that actually happens isn't supernatural
Mola Molas are pretty gross. i mean, from a distance they look cool because they're humongous, but up close they're basically transoceanic parasite farms. it's like a cruise ship for worms.

well yeah, they're stupid terms that stupid people use when they don't understand something
not understanding how it happened doesn't make it magic or supernatural, it just means you don't understand

nice analemma!
I remember doing this for our grade school physical science class, though I think we only took nine or ten photos
But really the coolest fish is Mola mola
this looks like a pretty chill fish
