A balance of infection and harmony called endosymbiosis helps shape evolution. For the first time, biologists have reproduced this arrangement between microbes in a lab.
Scientists Re-Create the Microbial Dance That Sparked Complex Life | Quanta Magazine

Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

It is *still* unknown whether or not every triangle admits a periodic billiard trajectory. Every triangle with rational angles does. And so does every obtuse triangle of at most 112.4 deg. "112.5 appears to be a natural barrier."
