In mathematics, the Fekete problem is, given a natural number N and a real s ≥ 0, to find the points x1,...,xN on the 2-sphere for which the s-energy, defined by for s > 0 and by for s = 0, is minimal. For s > 0, such points are called s-Fekete points, and for s = 0, logarithmic Fekete points (see ).More generally, one can consider the same problem on the d-dimensional sphere, or on a Riemannian manifold (in which case ||xi −xj|| is replaced with the Riemannian distance between xi and xj). The problem originated in the paper by Michael Fekete who considered the one-dimensional, s = 0 case, answering a question of Issai Schur. An algorithmic version of the Fekete problem is number 7 on the list of problems discussed by . (Wikipedia).

Making ferrofluid from scratch
Back in October, I tried making ferrofluid but I kept failing and I ended up giving up for a while. Months later though, I got inspired, and I spent an insane amount of time researching ferrofluid and trying to make it. It was a very messy and sometimes frustrating process, but I was event

Teach Astronomy - Solutions to the Fermi Paradox
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The Fermi Paradox starts with the simple question, where are they? It's based on the huge number of potential sites for life and the large amount of time in the history of the universe for intelligent civilizations that can travel in space to have developed.

If there’s one thing that we think we understand, it’s matter. After all, matter makes up everything around us; it even makes up you. However, all is not as it seems. Over the last century, scientists have learned about the building blocks of matter, starting with atoms. It turns out t
