The fact that ATP is the universal energy storage mollecule of all life on Earth is such an incredible unifying principle of biology!

It is the direct output of all the major forms of "energy generation" in cells: ATP synthesis mechanism.

It is just as fundamental as the genetic code for example.

No wonder dozens of Nobel Prizes were related to its discovery, given its complexity.

The Khômiss was a Binet that had 12 undisclosed participants every year.

They intentionally projected the idea of a semi scary and cool secret society/cult/Fascist/Gestapo/non-racist Ku Klux Klan-like organization

Khômiss members would wear a face cover whenever they would go out "on duty", notably to break a student's door with a fire axe when some student had fucked up particularly bad.

The Khômiss had an ambivalent character: while on one hand they would punish students that they felt had fucked up, they were actually semi approved by the school's head.

And conversely, they could also play pranks on the school head, e.g. vandalizing their office with funny objects if they had made some decision that was particularly unpopular to the students. This also likely with tacit approval, and as a way to be a "cool independent organization that also represents the students".

As such, the Khômiss aimed to be a sort of a "conscience" of the cohort, punishing the evil deeds of either side.

They were apparently unfortunately disbanded by the school in 2013 it seems, just after Ciro Santilli left. They took some poor student out by car and left him more than 1km outsie of the school for some reason. But he had a cell phone and walked came back, so doesn't feel that serious. Likely the political correctness of the times just caught up with them.

"Barys" means "heavy" in Greek, because protons and neutrons was what made most of the mass of known ordinary matter, as opposed notably to electrons.

Baryons can be contrasted with:

Space between the inner and bacterial outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria

Uses the frequency of the hyperfine structure of caesium-133 ground state, i.e spin up vs spin down of its valence electron $6s^1$, to define the second.

International System of Units definition of the second since 1967, because this is what atomic clocks use.

TODO why does this have more energy than the hyperfine split of the hydrogen line given that it is further from the nucleus?

Why caesium hyperfine structure is used:
