Divorce by combat, the medieval way of ending a marriage

In medieval Germany, husbands and wives could settle their disputes through marital duels. The man fought with one arm tied behind his back in a hole, while the woman wore weighted clothing and used a sack filled with rocks as her weapon. If they couldn't resolve their differences peacefully, they would engage in the duel. The consequences were severe: the husband would be beheaded if he lost, and the wife would be buried alive.

Imaginary numbers are not some wild invention, they are the deep & natural result of extending our number system. They are all about the discovery of numbers existing not in 1 dimension along a line, but in full 2 dimensional space:

A rabbit will binky when it feels really happy or excited. Binkying looks like a large jump in the air while the rabbit slightly twists its body and head at the same time.

Scientists recently made a “quantum time flip circuit,” which is like a metronome whose pendulum swings opposite ways simultaneously. It’s nothing like the time machines of science fiction, but the phenomenon could lead to new kinds of quantum technology.
