A Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that forms when a group of atoms clumps together when cooled to absolute zero (-459.67 F). In this state, the atoms have quantum properties and offer an insight into quantum mechanics. Producing them and studying them on Earth, however, is difficult because of gravity. A Bose–Einstein condensate is a state of matter formed when a gas of bosons (such as rubidium atoms) is cooled down close to absolute zero....

Other protesters began objecting to the doll display, calling it a “hate crime,” which has been rumored to depict Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. After what the Michigan State Police described on Twitter as “an incident between two demonstrators, in which one demonstrator tried to take a sign out of another demonstrator’s hand,” the man was taken into the capitol building. In a video, two protesters can be seen wrestling over the flag as organizers can be heard calling on police to assist in the altercation....

Customers waiting to enter the Ross Dress for Less store at 800 E Expressway 83, in McAllen, broke into a fight. The McAllen Police Department says it received the disturbance call at 10 a.m. local time but no arrests were made and no injuries were reported. However, it is still an ongoing investigation. Eyewitness footage shows three or four people fighting on the floor before other people join in. The people involved leave the line on the sidewalk and end up in the street....

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff reported Thursday that 10 North Korean aircraft were flying toward the Special Reconnaissance Line, a boundary designated by South Korea north of the heavily fortified border between the two rival nations to warrant tactical action on the part of Seoul, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. In response, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff mobilized its own air force, including F-35A fighters, to fly sorties....

Roberto Firmino, while at Hoffenheim, had lined up against Jurgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund on 10 occasions between 2011 and 2015, scoring twice and creating another. Those are not the sort of numbers that widen eyes, but the Brazil international had operated in four different positions during these fixtures — second striker, left and right forward, attacking midfield — and was able to influence proceedings in and out of possession in each one....

The whale has been seen in Puget Sound on at least six occasions since Sunday. The last time a beluga whale was seen in the area was in 1940. The first sighting came on October 3 from Central Puget Sound, the second from Point Defiance. The fourth was in Elliott Bay, West Seattle the following day, and the fifth in Bremerton Shipyard, according to the Orca Network. The organization posted a video of the first sighting by Jason Rogers and reported the sightings to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Center for Whale Research, and other experts....

The 17-year-old spoke exclusively to Sky Sports following his decision to make the statement after breaking into the Seasiders first team in 2022. Daniels’ move has been met with widespread online support as a bold step towards greater openness of LGBT communities within football. His interview comes as part of a positive move towards addressing fears over negativity and abuse following Adelaide United star Josh Cavallo breaking down barriers as the only gay currently active professional player in 2021....

He just wants it kept in perspective. MORE: Spector reviews Tigers’ TV team "It's nice. We've got a lot of games to play. We don't get all geeked up," Yost said. "It's better than the alternative, trust me." Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas homered as part of a seven-run second inning, and the Royals displaced the Detroit Tigers atop the AL Central on Tuesday night with an 11-4 victory, their ninth in a row....

What’s a transverse process? Your back is made up of a stack of bones called vertebrae. Those vertebrae are complicated little suckers responsible for protecting the spinal cord, providing the structure of the back, and allowing you to bend and twist your back. Transverse processes serve as attachment points for some of the million or so muscles and ligaments of the back. The good thing about the back being so complicated and having so many bones, muscles and ligaments is that if one is compromised, there’s plenty more to compensate....

Players chosen in the first round of the NBA Draft are subject to the rookie scale if they want to join the league in the first two years after being drafted. The current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) sets the amount for each slot in each without much deviation — the contract must have two guaranteed seasons followed by two team options and teams can only pay the player a maximum of 20% more than the specified amount (which happens most of the time as it turns out)....

The pregnant lobster was caught on the first day back of the 2022 fishing season, which begins as the weather starts to warm up in the spring. Fisherman Jacob Knowles posted the video to his TikTok account and it has gained over 1.6 million views and more than 100,000 likes. In the footage, which can be seen here, Knowles holds the pregnant lobster up to the camera, where thousands of eggs can be seen under her tail....

Before he was hospitalized, Eyers, 42, had no known preexisting conditions, climbed mountains and competed in triathlons. The 42-year-old’s family believes he would have survived COVID-19 if he’d been vaccinated, and his twin sister, Jenny McCann, said the family got into an argument about inoculations about a month and a half before he died. “John started saying really crazy things that didn’t make sense,” McCann told The Guardian. “About how people were only getting the vaccine for free McDonald’s, and there was formaldehyde in it…....

Up now: The AL West. MORE QUESTIONS: NL East | AL East | NL Central | AL Central Will the Mariners end their postseason drought? There are lots of little questions about this team, but they all connect to the larger one: Will the Mariners get back to the postseason? It seems especially pressing with the additional playoff team in the AL this year. Seattle won 90 games last year, which is often enough to get a team into the postseason as a wild card....

The Phillies are also going to play baseball, apparently. So, what can be expected in 2015? Here are five predictions, including exclamation points, because this Phillies season will need a little bit of pizazz. 1. First-place Phillies! Cole Hamels will remain on the roster at least long enough to pitch opening day against the Red Sox. If Ruben Amaro Jr. has waited this long to trade Hamels, he can keep waiting....

The five men from New Jersey were on board the Spirit Airlines flight last Friday night when they were asked to leave the plane because of a “mask violation” inside the aircraft, Local 10 reported. The issue then escalated when they got into a dispute with deputies from Broward Sheriff’s Office, who had arrived to escort them from Terminal 4. Video shown on the news network shows the group yelling profanities during a confrontation with law enforcement that ended in their arrests....

“Probably in a lot of ways just because how our society is now, in some ways it was anti-climactic,” Franklin said on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday. “Everybody knew already. I found out from the media. Our players from the media and social media. By the time we had our team meeting, 99 percent of our team already knew.” MORE: Bowl projections | 10 undefeated teams, 10 big games | 10 greatest Nittany Lions...

It’s expected to be easy. But that’s something reserve guard Andre Iguodala disputed. MORE: 11 players set to take over the NBA “It’s always a long goal, it should be the goal for everybody,” Iguodala said at media day Monday. “Understanding that it is supposed to be hard. If it is not hard, it doesn’t quite feel — it doesn’t feel as satisfying. It’s like, ah, whatever. It’s like paying for muscles when you didn’t work for them....

The pile-up occurred at around 3:45 p.m. on New Jersey’s Route 17 South in Paramus, according to the Daily Voice. Among the individuals involved, three suffered minor injuries and needed to be taken to the hospital for treatment. One particular vehicle occupant suffered no injuries in the midst of the chaos, since they were already dead. A Honda Odyssey en route to a funeral home from a nearby hospital was involved in the crash....

The book was an amazing farrago of sub-Hemingway macho and New Age moon dust. What Eastwood, costar Meryl Streep and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese have done is to bring a semblance of emotional reality to the story. As a result the moviee “Bridges” has much more poignancy than the book. From their first meeting, when Kincaid jolts up to her farmhouse in his pickup, asking directions to the famous Iowa covered bridges he’s shooting for National Geographic magazine, the juice flows between Eastwood and Streep....
