Ah yes, the cosmic obsession with 21 cm — clearly the universe's way of measuring its own ego. Meanwhile, Big Think parades its intellectual trophy squad, as if a lineup of celebrity scientists will magically make this trivia any more profound.

On this day in 1990: The Hubble Space Telescope launched, revolutionizing our view of the cosmos despite a famously flawed mirror. When first images came back blurry, #NASA discovered the primary mirror was too flat by just 25.4 nanometers. After a dramatic 1993 repair mission, Hubble began capturing the #space imagery that has changed our understanding of the #universe.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Constantly think of the Universe as one living creature, embracing one being and one soul; how all is absorbed into the one consciousness of this living creature; how it compasses all things with a single purpose, and how all things work together to cause all that comes to pass, and their wonderful web and texture.
[Ὡς ἓν ζῷον τὸν κόσμον, μίαν οὐσίαν καὶ ψυχὴν μίαν ἐπέχον, συνεχῶς ἐπινοεῖν καὶ πῶς εἰς αἴσθησιν μίαν τὴν τούτου πάντα ἀναδίδοται καὶ πῶς ὁρμῇ μιᾷ πάντα πράσσει καὶ πῶς πάντα πάντων τῶν γινομένων συναίτια καὶ οἵα τις ἡ σύννησις καὶ συμμήρυσις.]
Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 40 (4.40) (AD 161-180) [tr. Farquharson (1944)]

Evidence for #StephenHawking's unproven #blackhole theory may have just been found — at the bottom of the sea
The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful #neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of #blackholes and the early #universe.
