Unifying general relativity and the electromagnetic force? (I presume this also includes the weak nuclear force at sufficiently high energies, but this summary doesn't say)

I'm pretty much at the limit of my understanding of field theories and such just in this summary article, I don't think I'll even try their full journal article.

@cenobyte - Does Professor Skye or her research assistant have any comment on the matter?

Whooooaaaa! The new #JWST image is so good! So much physics going on — physics Einstein himself thought about!

This is called an Einstein Ring. When a massive foreground galaxy (in this case, an elliptical galaxy) warps the space-time around it, light from behind it bends in our direction.

The JWST caught this fantastic example, where the background spiral galaxy is getting warped into our view. It appears as a ring, but we can see its structures like its spiral arms, gas features and star clusters.

Incredible science happening here!

I added the annotations in the second image.

New DESI Results Weigh In On Gravity: Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts.

Hello! #introductions #introduction

I am finishing grad student in #numericalrelativity (#generalrelativity, #astrodon) at #UArizona. I study #blackholes and #gravitationalwaves. I work a lot with #HPC and #Python. I am strong advocate for #OpenSource and #OpenScience.

My computer boots directly into #Emacs. I am involved with #vterm and other #elisp packages.

I am a massive fan of #nationalparks and enjoy #hiking and #cycling. I like to read about #history.
