These firework-like patterns spread when dyes are added atop a viscous but miscible lower fluid layer. Here, researchers use lower layers like corn syrup and xanthan gum; then they spread dye mixtures including ammonia and vinegar atop those layers.  (Image credit: T. Watson and J.

The things the spectacle presents as eternal are based on change, and must change as their foundations change. The spectacle is totally dogmatic, yet it is incapable of arriving at any really solid dogma. Nothing stands still for it. This instability is the spectacle’s natural condition, but it is completely contrary to its natural inclination.
Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle

Jack, aren't you worried Sammy's "i would love to murder in cold blood half my coworkers" attitude backfires on him ? Did it happen in the past ?
With love, from an old fan !

Tornado Factories: What Are Supercells And How They Churn Out Twisters
Tornado Factories: What Are Supercells And How They Churn Out Twisters
Supercells are what storm chasers are after each and every year. Ask any storm chaser what they’re really after out there and it is probably either tornadoes or incredible storm structure — both of those are most common with supercells! These rotating storms pack a punch, creating some of the most dangerous weather on earth while being the primary manufacturers of tornadoes. If you are new to…

Maybe it was easier to keep living with the fantasy of stability glowing on the horizon
Reading a biography of Susan Sontag that winter, I put three exclamation points in the margin next to a quote from her diaries: “I’m only interested in people engaged in a project of self-transformation.” It summoned the pattern Kyle had described. But what did this pattern mean? Why did I keep pursuing these thresholds, even as I told myself I wanted something else? Maybe every rupture offered the chance to emerge as someone else, slightly altered, on the other side of each crisis.
Or maybe I wasn’t seeking what lay beyond each threshold but the experience of threshold-crossing itself. Maybe it was easier to keep living with the fantasy of stability glowing on the horizon, perpetually elusive, than it was to dwell inside the experience of stability itself—its vexations and claustrophobia, its permanence.

Hi, I love your blog. I hope you and you’re family are ok.
In Hannibal what does “unstable” mean in the context of Will? Alana calls him unstable, asks him if he feels unstable but to be honest I have no idea what that meant.
Does it mean that he was losing grips with reality?
Hi! Thank you so much <3 Fortunately, things are fine for now!
This is a really intriguing question that I haven’t seen discussed often. On the one hand, I would think ‘unstable’ hints at Will’s struggle with darkness. He cannot feel stable as long as he doesn’t accept himself. He’s constantly torn between what he is, what he wants to be, and what he can be: this results in his perpetual unhappiness and moodiness, so it’s natural that other people notice this.  
But Alana and others aren’t really aware of this reason. They notice the effects: Will is snappy, dislikes the prolonged eye contact, is occasionally aggressive, has nightmares, loses time, mimics killers to a frightening degree, etc. But what causes these effects, in their opinion? I think the same pattern as with Will’s alleged/possible autism applies here. Every person around Will draws their own conclusion about what kind of person he is and what issues he’s struggling with. Jack assumes he’s on the spectrum, and when he asks, Will neither confirms nor denies it, giving a vague phrase that can be taken in different ways. 
The same happens regarding the instability. Chilton thinks Will is arrogant and self-absorbed, and that his vulnerability and mental problems are a deliberate projection to fool others. Alana thinks Will is a deeply traumatized person who’s trying to recover from something and that he has multiple unique disorders that make him a fascinating case study. To each person who decided who Will is for themselves, “unstable” means different things.
To Jack, Will being unstable means Will becoming overwhelmed with murders and personas of killers he’s investigating (which doesn’t really happen except for when Will is sick in S1 or distraught and angry in S3, and even then, it happens for a second). To Chilton, instability is a ruse. To Alana, this means Will’s mental problems are deteriorating and making him lose touch with reality. She thinks Will is self-destructive and careless with his health, so she doesn’t want a relationship with him until he realizes that he has problems and expresses determination to find a solution.  
Only Will knows what he’s really struggling with, him having innate darkness being the major issue, and since he’s terrified of people learning about it, he uses their ignorance to stop them from thinking deeper, allowing them to draw their conclusions without refuting or objecting to them.

Leidenfrost Collapse

When a droplet encounters a surface much hotter than its boiling point, it forms a thin layer of vapor that insulates the liquid from the surface. But this Leidenfrost effect can't last forever. (Image credit: L. Gledhill; research credit: D. Harvey and J. Burton) Read the full article
