This overview of the math that gave us black holes, white holes, worm holes, and parallel universes

as someone thoroughly worn out by "multiverses" being crammed into all media, it's refreshing to learn about the theoretical ideas that pop sci-fi has been bastardizing

Everything and Nothing: The Amazing Science of Empty Space

I love documentaries on astronomy and the universe. However, I find a lot of documentaries to be seriously dumbed down now (...IN A WORLD...). This is not. It's great, and it revolutionized my understanding of space/time.

Physical cosmology

Physical cosmology is my favorite bundle of pages to dive into on wikipedia; the articles are so dense with math that I don’t understand and theories that are so weird and out-there. It reminds me that I don’t know everything, and that there is so so much to know and learn about and so much more out there that has yet to be discovered.  Some highlights for me are The Ultimate Fate of the Universe, which is about theories on how the universe will end, and the Shape of the Universe, which seems like a silly thing to question but is actually a really complicated topic. It makes you think about geometry and space in a different way, and kind of breaks your brain a little bit.

STAINED GLASS HUNTING

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

Pi.fyi friends

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
