We Just Measured All The Starlight In The Universe, And It Spells Doom For Our Future

“An enormous part of our cosmic history has just been revealed for the very first time. We can bypass the foregrounds of our own Solar System, thanks to these gamma-ray signals and how they interact with the extragalactic background of starlight, to understand and measure how star-formation has occurred over all of cosmic time in our Universe, and to infer the total amount of starlight ever produced.

In the future, scientists may be able to go back even farther, and probe how stars formed and emitted light back before the Fermi-LAT team’s instrumentation is capable of reaching. Star formation is what turns the primordial elements from the Big Bang into the elements capable of giving rise to rocky planets, organic molecules, and life in the Universe. Perhaps, one day, we’ll find a way to reach all the way back to the earliest moments of our Universe, uncovering the truths behind the greatest cosmic mysteries of all. Until then, enjoy each and every step — like this one — that we take along the journey!”

For the first time ever, we’ve measured the total amount of starlight ever produced throughout the history of the Universe. We know how many photons, created by stars, now permeate all of space. We know when star-formation peaked, and we know how it’s fallen over time, and how it continues to fall.

Thanks to a new result from the Fermi-LAT collaboration, we understand how star-formation worked, and is dying, across all of space and time. Get the full story today!

My town is gone.

If you’ve been watching the noise and paying attention to California, you’ve heard about the Camp Fire.

In a matter of hours, the fire jumped to 20,000 acres. This morning it reached 70,000. My town of Paradise, where I’ve lived my entire life, was consumed entirely. Very little containment has been reached and the situation is absolute hell.

My house was one of the first to go.

My mom and my sisters and I barely got out, in separate cars, and we got separated for 10 hours. My mom and little sister were stuck in Paradise with all my pets in the flames until my stepdad was able to get gas to them so they could get out. My cat was lost, and I personally was only able to grab an extremely small amount of my own belongings because I was helping my mom to grab important documents and photos and to get the pets situated.

We are now homeless, with no clue where to go from here, and desperately in need of help to get food, clothes, supplies, anything. My mom has been disabled for 3 years and we survive on a single income from my stepdad, who is a firefighter. His friends have been hurt trying to fight this. We have a dog with us, and two guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon.

My mom set up a fundraiser, even though we are not at all the type to ask for so much help.

Cal Fire Family We lost our home in the Paradise Camp Fire yesterday. We didn't get to grab necessary items or clothing. We are lucky to be

☝️ That’s the last image of our house that I took this morning. It is now ashes and rubble.

If you can donate, it would mean the world to us, to help us get back on our feet. If you can’t, please share. Anything helps no matter how small.

Omg I love this

The SFTH Rules of Improv

Sam's Rule of Improv: Any scene that can become sexual, will become sexual and most likely problematic (typically via unnecessary moaning sounds)

Tom's Rule of Improv: Avoid getting SFTH cancelled by begrudgingly taking the role of the group's Disappointed Father™ (typically involves unsexualizing and sanitizing Sam's contributions)

Luke's Rule of Improv: Play innocent, then shock your audience AND fellow improvisors by revealing your complete lack of shame and filter when their guard's down

AJ's Rule of Improv: If the plot is clearly going in one direction, take the soonest opportunity to steer that shit off a cliff

And of course the most important SFTH Rule of Improv: If someone makes a mistake, never EVER let it go. It's a plot point now.

Be careful

“I’m finding that lost things can come back to us in time, when we are ready for them.”

At my nieces swim meet out of town and we sat down in the bleachers. Behind us we see this woman knitting…the blanket is made out of plastic(grocery bags) y'all. For the homeless. She didn’t want her face posted but this is about the fourth or fifth blanket she’s done. It makes so much sense ya know? Plastic is insulated and it’s surprisingly heavy.

Bless this lady and people like her.
