Ertu að gefast upp á Instagram?

Ert þú í þeim hópi sem er að gefast upp á Instagram þar sem berir bossar og andarandlit eru orðin þreytandi?

Eftirfarandi reikningar eru fyrir fróðleiksfúsa einstaklinga sem vilja stöðugt vera að læra meira og meira.

Nasa

Á Instagram reikningi NASA má finna margt áhugavert um vísindi. Þegar maður skoðar reikninginn getur maður m.a. ímyndað sér aðeins betur hvernig er að vera geimfari í einn dag. Það er alla vegana erfitt að vera tilgerðarlegur í búningi sem þolir geiminn. Alvöruefni fyrir alvörulærdómshesta.

Imagine taking in breathtaking views of the Earth below you while experiencing a sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes. Astronaut Ricky Arnold (@astro_ricky) experienced that mind-blowing workday as he performed a 6.5 hour spacewalk yesterday and captured this selfie. Alongside fellow spacewalker Drew Feustel (@astro_feustel), Arnold finished upgrading cooling system hardware and installed new and updated communications equipment for future dockings of commercial crew spacecraft. Spacewalkers have now spent a total of 54 days, 16 hours and 40 minutes working outside the International Space Station (@ISS) in support of assembly and maintenance of the orbiting laboratory.

History in Pictures

Þegar sagan er sögð í myndum verða til töfrar. Vissir þú sem dæmi að í Buick frá árinu 1961 sneri framsætið í öfuga átt?

WTF FUN FACTS

Ert þú einn af þeim sem eiga erfitt með að taka ábyrgð á þér og bæði mamma þín og kærasta eru að setja þér mörk? Þá er gott að vita að það er hægt að leigja sér mömmu í New York fyrir einungis 40 dollara. Hún getur lagað fyrir þig dýrindis heimagerðan mat, sorterað sokkana þína og gengið frá þvottinum. Tekið til í fataskápnum og fleira sem fullorðnir gera en þér finnst erfitt.

Ef þig langar að kynna þér nýjustu tónleikahöllina í Hamborg er þetta síðan. Sambland af einstakri hönnun og tækni, þetta er eitt það fallegasta sem hægt er að finna í dag.

🎶👂✨ This is the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg’s recently completed, state-of-the-art concert hall. Swiss architects Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, and Ascan Mergenthaler joined forces with Japanese acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, famous for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, to design one of the largest and most acoustically advanced concert halls in existence. The unique architecture of the space is more than a treat for the eyes – the auditorium’s design was largely dictated by computer algorithms tasked with figuring out how to achieve the best acoustics possible. The result of the human-computer collaboration is a system of 10,000 acoustic panels made of gypsum fiber – no two alike – that line the interior of the central auditorium. Each panel is specifically designed to shape the sound of the waves it makes contact with by either absorbing waves or by causing them to scatter throughout the hall in a specific manner. While each of the 10,000 acoustic panels is unique, they all work together to achieve a balanced reverberation and to holistically mold the acoustics of the entire space. This is an example of ‘parametric design,’ a process by which designers use algorithms to develop an object’s form based on the expression of parameters and rules. If you could reserve the Elbphilharmonie for a private listening session, what would you like to hear in this magnificent auditorium?

Vissir þú að fiskar nota ákveðna tækni til að tjá sig í sjónum þar sem hætta er á ferð og þeir geta verið étnir?

Did you know fish use a social network to talk about food? Basically, reef fish snack on algae, which is also great for the survival of coral reefs. The problem is that the reef is often exposed to predators, putting these fish in harm’s way. That’s why the fish use movement to communicate when the coast is clear. Once one swims into the coral reef algae buffet, others start to do the same — and they stay longer and eat more when they’re in a group. “Our analyses indicate that fish simply copying other fish in their social network could account for over 60 percent of the algae eaten by the fish community, and thus could be critical to the flow of energy and resources through coral reef ecosystems,” says @TEDfellow and marine biologist Mike Gil.
