Oh No, ‘Big Bang Theory’ Is Returning to Literally Destroy the Universe

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-02-01 11:50:45

You’d think io9—a site run by nerds—would enjoy a sitcom featuring a cast of nerd characters. Like, say, The Big Bang Theory, which ran on CBS for 12 seasons. But you’d be wrong: we loathed the show, especially for its often wrong-headed approach to geeky interests (remember how dirty it did Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples’ wonderful comic Saga?), and we cheered when it finally wrapped up in 2019. But The Big Bang Theory obviously had a crap-ton of fans; you don’t get to 12 seasons and two sp

The most otherworldly, mysterious forms of lightning on Earth

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-28 18:49:31

Our atmosphere is like one big electrical circuit: Thunderstorms are the batteries that charge it up, and lightning is the current flowing through it. On the ground we see evidence of this circuit when lightning cracks and strikes the ground, or when it lights up deep inside a thundercloud, but high above the clouds lies a secret electrical zoo full of sprites, elves, and jets. These fantastical terms refer to light displays called transient luminous events or TLEs that occur in Earth’s upper a

A Third Interstellar Visitor Is Here, and Astronomers Might Know Where It Came From

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-01 23:17:26

After defending his PhD thesis on modeling interstellar objects on Monday, June 30, Matthew Hopkins intended to take some well-deserved time off. It would appear the universe had other plans for him. The very next day, the Atlas Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, detected a mysterious object whizzing toward the Sun. Early observations suggested that it came from outside our solar system, potentially marking the third discovery of an interstellar object

With 20,000Pa Industrial-Grade Suction, This Eufy Robot Vacuum and Mop Hits a New Low on Amazon

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-02 04:10:06

Theory is that mop-capable robot vacuums are a great idea, but in application, the performance doesn’t nearly equal real cleaning ability. The majority of models leave dust, dirt or streaks behind which can be disheartening when you desire floors to be gleaming clean. That’s where the eufy E25 Omni robot vacuum and mop combo is good at: With industrial-grade suction power, it ensures your floors are left immaculate after every clean.

Inertial forces (indirect terms) in problems with a central body

Gravitational systems in astrophysics often comprise a body – the primary – that far outweights the others, and which is taken as the centre of the reference frame. A fictitious acceleration, also known as the indirect term, must therefore be added to all other bodies in the system to compensate for the absence of motion of the primary. In this Research Note, we first stress that there is not one indirect term but as many indirect terms as there are bodies in the system that exert a gravitationa
