The Gottorf Globe and its reconstruction

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-05 07:16:07

The Gottorf Globe was known as an astronomic marvel some 350 years ago. The first planetarium in history is a synonym for Friedrich III’s cosmopolitanism, under whose sovereignty Gottorf became one of North Europe’s most significant royal courts and a cultural centre. The virtually authentic replication, now located close to the Museum Island, still doesn’t cease to impress visitors. Casually expressed, Friedrich III wanted to understand the connection between the earth and the sky. Thus, the s

Just four years after Rivian began selling its R1T truck, 2025 marks the beginning of the R1T and R1S’ second generation. Considering they look essentially the same on the outside, it might be hard to decipher what warrants a new generation. But underneath, it’s actually quite easy: all-new electric architecture, a new motor arrangement, retuned suspension, and more.

New Study Flips Everything We Know About Addiction Upside Down

Since the 1970s, countless experts and the US government have sold the public a simple explanation for drug addiction, now clinically called substance abuse disorder: the myth of the gateway drug. The gateway drug — usually cast as weed, alcohol, tobacco, or inhalants — refers to the theory that the earlier a kid starts using drugs, the more likely they are to get into the harder stuff later in life, like heroin or cocaine. Though the idea was pioneered as early as the 1930s, the policy term wa
