Falls a bit too much on the basic side of the the missing link between basic and advanced.

There is no clear distinction between "serious simulations" and "physics engines", it's just that "physics engine" have a "for video game" connotation.

And especially, in the context of gaming, it usually means "rigid body dynamics simulation" in particular.

Can be used to detect single photons.

Richard Feynman likes them, he describes the tube at Richard Feynman Quantum Electrodynamics Lecture at University of Auckland (1979) at one point.

It uses the photoelectric effect multiple times to produce a chain reaction. In particular, as mentioned at youtu.be/5V8VCFkAd0A?t=74 from Video 1. "Using a Photomultiplier to Detect single photons by Huygens Optics" this means that the device has a lowest sensitive light frequency, beyond which photons don't have enough energy to eject any electrons.

Each comic page has an "Emergency Button" below it, which redirects to a mock PDF formatted as a research paper, so you can quickly pretend to be working. Epic.

A web server is mandatory for assets, unless you embed them in data URLs, file:// access is not possible:

We can't see individual stars outside of the Milky Way:Any single star outside of the Milky Way cannot be seen.

The Large Magellanic Cloud stands out as the brightest thing we can see from outside the Milky Way by far!

Can you do anything with it? What's the license?

The cartridge is number 33 or 33 XL.

2025-11: moved it around an lost charger cable. Bought new cable www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08YDJ9N6W "USB 2.0 Type A Male to B" but not turning on using chargers that work for cell phone, so I'm not sure if a charger problem, or if it printer was broken while deplacing it...

The term "visible life" refers to multicellular from before people knew there was life in the proterozoic.

Why was this so rarely used as of 2020s compared to ISBNs? It would have been perfect for helping find obscure records from Chinese traditional music and Indian classical music!

But instead we have Discogs, which is not too bad.

They died so completely, Googling "ICL" now has higher hits such as Imperial College London.
