I know I heard my name called occasionally as a kid. Clear as day but directionless, seemingly from very close to me. I figured its just a bug in a developing mind. But could also be that my mom got damn angry if I didnt hear her calling so I was always listening for it, and like the article describe, I picked up noise and the brain filled in the expectation.
I wonder if eventually we could sidestep the use of bactiophages and instead manufacture the microscopic structures themselves as sunscreen.
There's a good number of biological processes that are much simpler, cheaper, and require much less materials when the biological process is preserved. A good example of this is water cleaning/breaking down sewage with bacteria which give off methane which is also collected as fuel. Given that the main outcome here is sunscreen that doesn't damage biology and it's generally not that expensive to keep sustain life like this, it might make the most sense to simply leave it at production/farming of bacteriophages.
He did a lot of good work. I also feel happy knowing that we actually found the particle physically while he was still alive. That has got to be satisfying. Rest easy, Higgs. ❤️

It is "solid evidence that tyrannosaurs drastically changed their diet as they grew up," said Dr Darla Zelenitsky, from the University of Calgary.
"We now know that these teenage [tyrannosaurs] hunted small, young dinosaurs," said Dr Zelenitsky, one of the lead scientists in this study, which is published in the journal Science Advances.
But, Dr Zelenitsky, added, "these smaller, immature tyrannosaurs were probably not ready to jump into a group of horned dinosaurs, where the adults weighed thousands of kilograms".
Staff at Alberta's Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology eventually noticed small toe-bones sticking out from the ribcage.
"The rock within the ribcage was removed to expose what was hidden inside," explained Dr Therrien, who is the other lead scientist in this study.
While the adults bit and scraped with their powerful "killer banana" teeth, "this animal was selecting and even dissecting its prey - biting off the legs and swallowing them whole".
All discoveries use some element(s) of the scientific method.
The entire method in and of itself isn't required to be 100% rigorously applied 100% of the time. However, the method is a starting point and does lead to discovery over time.
While it helps to apply the method to ensure clean and proper discoveries which can, hopefully, be reproduced and investigated, the fact that not all sciences or discoveries apply it rigorously is largely insignificant.
