>"Most octopuses will let you get close, maybe even touch them, but normally they'll try to run once the manipulator gets close," said Alvin pilot Bruce Strickrott, of his encounter with a deep-sea octopus 2,300 meters down (about 7,500 feet) in the Gulf of Mexico. This female was docile and, instead of swimming away, grabbed the submersible's robotic manipulator arm, used for picking up samples of seafloor rocks and organisms.

Advanced civilizations probably have extensive cooling needs. Computing
and communication equipment both work better at lower temperatures. A
cooler computer means a faster computer with lower energy needs, and a
cooler transceiver has lower thermal noise. Since these equipment cannot
operate with perfect efficiency, they will need to eliminate waste heat.

It's not too difficult to cool a system down to the temperature of the
cosmic background radiation. All you need to do is build a radiator in
interstellar space with a very large surface area, and connect it with the
system you're trying to cool with some high thermal-conductance material.

However, even at the cosmic background temperature of T=3K, erasing a bit
still costs a minimum of k*T*ln 2 = 2.87e-23 J. What is needed is a way to
efficiently cool a system down to near absolute zero. I think the only way
to do it is with black holes.

Black holes emit Hawking radiation at a temperature of
T=h*c^3/(16*pi*G*M). With the mass of the sun, the temperature of a black
hole would be about 10^-8 K. At this temperature, erasing a bit costs only
about 10^-31 J. If you build an insulating shell outside the event horizon
of a black hole, everything inside the shell would eventually cool down to
the temperature of the black hole. However, it would not be necessary to
build a complete shell around a black hole in order to take advantage of
its low temperature. For example you can simply point the radiators of
your black hole orbiter toward the black hole and insulate the side facing
away from the black hole.

If it's true that the only efficient way to cool material down to near
absolute zero is with black holes, we should expect all sufficiently
advanced civilizations to live near them. However this prediction
may be difficult to test since they would have virtually no radiation
signatures.

A lot of these pics are natural beauty, which seems to contradict the OP's request for scientific beauty. I guess it is their own fault because of the pic they themselves chose. Either way, how about some beauty from math? The good old mandlebrot set.

>>1400609
G. atlanticus is able to feed on P. physalis due to its immunity to the venomous nematocysts. The blue sea slug will consume the entire organism and appears to select and store the most venomous nematocysts for their own use. The venom is collected in specialized sacs (cnidosacs), on the tip of their cerata, the thin feather-like "fingers" on its body.[4] Because Glaucus stores the venom, it can produce a more powerful and deadly sting than the Man o' War upon which it feeds.
that's so badass.
