🎉 Today marks the birthday of Jane’s Combat Simulations: 688(I) Hunter/Killer!

Released in 1997, this #classic #simulation lets you command the #688I #nuclear #submarine — a silent, lethal #hunter beneath the #waves.

Manage twelve detailed #stations, track enemies with realistic #sonar, and launch precise #torpedoes. It’s a game of patience, #strategy, and skill, with no flashy #action — just authentic cold war #naval #catandmouse gameplay.

Even decades later, it remains one of the most respected #submarine #simulations ever made.

University of Georgia: Storm surge virtual reality simulation designed to save lives. “Weather the Storm, a virtual reality simulation that takes users through the effects of storm surge to communicate its devastating and sometimes fatal consequences, is now available for download. The simulation aims to empower coastal residents to actively prepare for hurricanes.”

Past decisions made with limited knowledge can come back to bite... hard.

I finally formalized "Model 1" last year. It's a detailed, fully-documented internal standard for modeling infra in #Django for water accounting, scheduling, simulation, and more. It’s not perfect, but it meets my needs and looks beautiful visualized, IMO.

Sir, ma'am, do you have a minute to talk about #evolution?

In these gloomy days, teaching #evolution is the safe harbour. Tomorrow the lecture is online, because I (and many students) are going to a strike in #Utrecht against budget cuts to higher education 🟥 , but I hope they will still enjoy these absolute classics:

Niklas, Karl J. "Evolutionary walks through a land plant morphospace." Journal of Experimental Botany 50.330 (1999): 39-52.

I still remember being awe-struck by the work of Karl Niklas on plant #biophysics and #morphogenesis when I was a 1st year student at the University of Warsaw. This was truly a portal to a world where everything in nature could be explained and had an underlying principle.

Budd, Graham E. "Morphospace." Current Biology 31.19 (2021): R1181-R1185.

While I am learning my part in French to explain #simulations of #evolution in Brussels for a Science is Wonderful show by @ERC_Research later this week.

#NASA #supercomputer reveals strange spiral structure at the edge of our #solar system

The #mysterious #Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's #comets, but #astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new #simulations may have given them a first glimpse

Many mysteries surround the origin of the universe. 🎆 One of these concerns the ‘false vacuum decay’, exploring the dynamics of the ‘Big Bang’.💫 🌍 A team of scientists from JSC, the University of Leeds & the Institute of Science and Technology Austria used #quantum #simulations to examine it more closely. The results were published in Nature Physics. 👏 Dr Jaka Vodeb (JSC) explains these findings in an interview:
