Old old old and new

 

The following is from Sam Hammill’s translation of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching written some 2,500 years ago:

Beauty and ugliness have one origin.
Name beauty, and ugliness is.
Recognizing virtue recognizes evil.

Only they weren't green

King Tut's Meteorite Dagger Has a Mystery Origin Story

Based on the dagger's chemistry and a 3,400-year-old tablet, scientists don’t think it’s from Egypt.

QUOTING:

https://aeon.co/essays/how-physics-at-the-roots-of-reality-point-to-a-grand-unified-theory?

With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, every elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model of physics has now been found. 

Yet the field is far from ‘done’. Among the continuing work, physicists are still looking for a grand unified theory that explains the forces that operate at the subatomic level – a common understanding that accounts for the disparate phenomena we observe among the particles we have in hand. 

QUOTING:

Richard Feynman famously said, "I think I can safely say that

nobody understands quantum mechanics." Since Feynman won

a Nobel Prize in physics for his work in quantum theory, he

certainly understood how to use it. Indeed, quantum mechanics

(QM) "has survived all tests" and "we all know how to use it

and apply it to problems," yet Murray Gell-Mann (who also won

a Nobel Prize for his work in quantum theory) agreed with

Feynman, saying, "we have learned to live with the fact that

nobody can understand it."
