This will blow your mind! A 900-year-old temple pillar from South India is designed to mimic modern engineering machines while also looking surprisingly similar to the complex design of the bacterial flagellar motor, the tiny protein machine found inside many bacteria. Let's find out what this pillar is all about! This particular pillar in the image below is one of the four famous stone pillars from the Chennakeshava Temple in Karnataka, India, which is believed to be at least 900-years-old. These stone pillars and carvings are so precise and complex that they almost look like parts manufactured with modern machines. These pillars appear as if they were made using modern machining methods such as: -Lathe turning -Milling -Chamfering -Knurling -Gear cutting Archaeologists agree that these pillars appear to have been made using lathe-style machining, while also agreeing that they are around 900 years old. Parveen Mohan, an ancient technology researcher, explains that four pillars stand in a row. At the top of each pillar is a ring-shaped stone with a different number of sides: First ring: 8 sides Second ring: 16 sides Third ring: 32 sides Fourth ring: 64 sides He says this creates a ratio of 1 : 2 : 4 : 8. He then suggests connecting the four stone "gears" with a chain or belt. Because the gears have different numbers of sides, or what he interprets as teeth, they would rotate at different speeds, similar to the gears on a bicycle. Archaeologists believe these rings are not carved from a single block of stone. Instead, each ring is a separate stone piece that was assembled together. The rings could rotate. Parveen compares them to gears rather than decorative rings and even suggests they may once have functioned as real rotating gears. He says the bumps and grooves resemble the teeth used today to stop belts from slipping. Modern machines use timing belts to connect multiple gears and make them rotate together. According to him, the temple demonstrates the same concept. Parveen also suggests that the pillars were assembled from five separate stone pieces instead of being carved from a single block. Because of this, he believes they functioned more like mechanical devices than ordinary temple supports. Continue in the comments...

Surprise: The Big Bang is not the beginning of the universe anymore

🌌 A giant among giants: S5 0014+81 versus the Solar System The black hole S5 0014+81 is a monster with a mass 40 billion times that of our Sun. If our Milky Way were placed in its vicinity, it would appear insignificant. The diameter of the region occupied by our Solar System (including the Oort cloud) is merely a fraction of a percent of the size of this supermassive black hole's accretion disk.

its not cheating babe im autistic and getting twerked on at strip clubs is my special interest

I believe DARPA just launched the most audacious bioengineering program of the decade & nobody’s talking about it loud enough I spent hours reading through the Generative Optogenetics program documentation & honestly I’m still processing the implications of what they’re trying to build this is about creating molecular machines that can be expressed in living cells to translate optical signals directly into DNA and RNA sequences on demand think about what this means…. you shine specific wavelengths of light at a cell & it writes its own genetic code in realtime without any external DNA delivery no viral vectors no CRISPR cassettes just light triggering nucleotide incorporation based on photon wavelength this is a FOUNDATIONAL shift in how we interface with biology bc right now if you want to deliver genetic instructions to cells you need massive supply chains synthesis facilities cold storage delivery mechanisms that break down over distance DARPA GO wants to turn living cells into programmable biological systems where you can transmit genetic information massively via optical signals & the cell synthesizes the exact sequence you need using its own machinery the implications are absolutely wild : single-cell spatial resolution temporal precision to deliver different messages sequentially remote scalable dissemination of genetic instructions Imagine regenerative medicine where you shine light patterns on damaged tissue & cells reprogram themselves in situ manufacturing where bacterial cultures synthesize complex molecules on command via optical programming agriculture where crops adapt their genome in response to environmental light signals… what fascinates me most is that this high risk program acknowledges we’re building a direct interface between computers that design genetic sequences and living cells that execute them we’re not just editing genes anymore we’re creating a bidirectional communication protocol between silicon & carbon where light becomes the universal language If GO succeeds it unlocks programmable biology at a SCALE we’ve never seen before this is how you get to foundational capabilities for extended spaceflight for on demand therapeutics for manufacturing without brittle supply networks this is the kind of moonshot that changes EVERYTHING

the world kinda feels like its shutting down like yeah this is the final act

so is the u.s. economic plan really just "build the machine god"
