crystaljewelryaffair You guys, I’m dying over here. I was out of baby-sized Ammonites, but my new batch just came in!! 💜 . If you need a ring, just holla! 💍 . These miraculous fossils always amaze me with their little Druzy pockets and natural iridescence 🔮

forgive yourself : it’s okay if you didn’t wake up early, go for a run, or finish that assignment. you’re only human

start slow : don’t set your expectations too high when you’re just starting off

keep learning : getting to where you want to be is a process. don’t expect perfection overnight

be kind to yourself : you’ll make mistakes along the way, but don’t let that stop you

“Gödel’s incompleteness theorems argue that the truth of some mathematical systems are unknowable. Alan Turing extended that idea to computers, showing that there are some algorithms for which it is impossible to know whether a computer can complete the calculations for in a finite amount of time. Now, a team of physicists believe they have extended the concept even further to the physical realm. In a finite 2D crystal lattice of atoms it is known that it is possible to calculate in a finite time the “spectral gap"—the amount of energy between the lowest energy level of the electrons in a material and the next one up. In the new work, Toby Cubitt of University College London and his colleagues appear to have shown that in an infinite 2D lattice the calculation of the spectral gap it is impossible to know if the calculation ends. If true, that means that even if the spectral gap is known for a finite-size lattice, the value could change abruptly with just the addition of a single atom and it is impossible to know when it will do so.” - Physics Today

Palaeovespa florissantia This exceptionally preserved 34 million year old wasp was found and identified in what is today Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in Colorado. This species is a member of the same family of life that today also contains hornets and yellow jackets. The incredible preservation of this insect is one example of the fossils found in Eocene aged lake sediments in this part of Colorado (https://tmblr.co/Zyv2Js296djPx). The area was heavily picked over for fossils prior to establishment of the National Monument and there were even attempts to establish housing developments on the site before it received protection. Today this insect is pictured in the logo of this monument and shots of it can be found around the parking lots at the site. -JBB Image credit: NPS http://bit.ly/2nYZwga References: https://www.revolvy.com/page/Vespinae http://bit.ly/2N9jn7k
