Physicists just found a universal law for how things shatter—glass, rocks, 3D‑printed parts, even ice all follow the same mathematical pattern when they break.

The shapes and sizes of fragments aren’t random; they obey consistent scaling rules. That means better models for everything from car crashes and mining blasts to asteroid breakup and building safety.

Explanation:
If you could stand on Titan -- what would you see? The featured color view from Titan gazes across an unfamiliar and distant landscape on Saturn's largest moon. The scene was recorded by ESA's Huygens probe in 2005 after a 2.5-hour descent through a thick atmosphere of nitrogen laced with methane. Bathed in an eerie orange light at ground level, rocks strewn about the scene could well be composed of water and hydrocarbons frozen solid at an inhospitable temperature of negative 179 degrees C. The large light-toned rock below and left of center is only about 15 centimeters across and lies 85 centimeters away. The saucer-shaped spacecraft is believed to have penetrated about 15 centimeters into a place on Titan's surface that had the consistency of wet sand or clay. Huygen's batteries enabled the probe to take and transmit data for more than 90 minutes after landing. Titan's bizarre chemical environment may bear similarities to planet Earth's before life evolved.

A strange orange landscape is shown. What appears to be light and dark orange rocks are strewn about. The landscape appears roughly flat all the way out to the orange sky and horizon.

The image features a textured, primarily purple visual. A dark purple, roughly diamond-shaped area dominates the scene, with a speckled texture throughout. Rising from the center of this area is a cone-shaped form that transitions from a darker purple at the base to a bright orange at the apex. A circular pattern is visible near the center of the diamond shape, appearing to radiate outwards from where the cone originates. The overall effect is abstract and somewhat reminiscent of a shadow cast by a light source onto a textured surfaceThe image is a digitally created, symmetrical, abstract pattern resembling a flower or a mandala. It features concentric layers of rounded, petal-like shapes in shades of orange and deep blue. At the center is a small, dense cluster of orange and blue squares arranged in a grid. Surrounding this core are larger, similarly colored rounded shapes that radiate outwards, with the overall effect creating a sense of depth and flow. The outer edge consists of a pixelated, textured border composed of small orange and blue squares. The entire image is comprised of many small squares, giving it a distinctly digital and somewhat retro aesthetic.The image is a circular pattern dominated by shades of blue and purple, with hints of orange at the edges. A bright, vertical line runs through the center of the circle, bisecting it into two equal halves. Faint, concentric rings radiate outward from the center, becoming more diffuse towards the edges. Two horizontal lines, similar in brightness to the vertical line, cross the center perpendicularly. The overall texture appears grainy, like static or a close-up of fabricThe image is an abstract, symmetrical design featuring shades of orange and dark purple. A central, dark purple, teardrop-shaped void is surrounded by a large, rounded, orange shape that takes up most of the frame. Surrounding this are multiple, smaller rounded orange shapes of varying sizes, reminiscent of cells or bubbles, all in shades of orange. The orange areas have subtle variations in tone, creating a sense of depth and texture. The background is dark purple, providing contrast to the orange shapes and highlighting their form

I really miss the CRC Handbook. Leafing through that big volume was much more fun than looking something up on the web. I need to find an old copy for my office just to have that old school lab feeling again.

This paper is mind-boggling and reverse the common principles: consciousness is a universal field which makes space and time emerging from it.
The beauty of this: it's testable!

I had a discussion with a nice chap earlier, he could not understand my idea, yet my LLM seems to understand, but it is a LLM (definitely not a sanity check system). I tried to rephrase it better.

Does it make sense?

NB: I am not fully trained in quantum physics and my knowledge is very limited, so only a high level/conceptual/theorical discussion (I did not do maths of that kind for over 20 years..).

⚠️ For non-anonymous users genuinely interested in making constructive comments.✅

Before a physical system is shaped by nature, environment, biology, society, and self-perception, etc.. It is in a state of potential: a -theorical- superposition of all/undifferentiated possibilities. Then, through a process of transformation, interaction, observation (depending on what it is obviously), etc.. The system "collapses" (get reduced to) into a specific "identity" (a rock for instance, and then change slower, thus emit less energy maybe), like a quantum system collapsing upon measurement so to speak.

Shattering news!

New universal law predicts how most objects shatter, from dropped bottles to exploding bubbles

phys.org/news/2025-11-universa

> When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into such a huge variety of sizes? Now, Emmanuel Villermaux at Aix-Marseille University in France and the University Institute of France has come up with a simple, elegant law for how objects shatter, whether they are brittle solids, liquid drops, or exploding bubbles.

Happy Space Science Saturday! Did you know that Deneb and Vega (shown in these images) and Altair (not shown) make up an asterism called the Summer Triangle? An asterism is a well-known pattern or group of stars. These stars are also the alpha (brightest) stars of their constellation and are very prominent in the summer night sky.

General Relativity preserved the classical continuum, describing a deterministic #universe governed by geometric curvature and partial differential equations while Quantum Mechanics abandoned the physical plenum for an algebraic abstraction, positing a reality composed of discrete, probabilistic entities existing in a Hilbert space.

No wonder #physics is confused!
