Kravica Waterfall is a large tufa cascade on the Trebižat River, in the karstic heartland of Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is 10 kilometres south of Ljubuški and 40 kilometres south of Mostar. Its height is about 25 metres and the radius of the lake at the base of the waterfall is 120 metres. Wikipedia

There is an immense reward in hauling your own body to the top of a wall using nothing but flexibility, cunning, and the strength of a couple of fingers. We asked Sierra Blair-Coyle, a professional climber who buckled into her first harness at age eight, how to get there.
Before you climb, you’re going to spend a lot of time watching other people climb, so you’d better make sure you like your climbing buddies. In a rock-climbing gym, which is where you should start, you’ll encounter two beginner-level disciplines—bouldering and top-roping. Most gyms offer both, but some places may have a more robust community around one or the other. The two specialties also tend to attract different kinds of people: Bouldering is great for extroverts and larger groups, and top roping is ideal for those who want to learn with a single friend. It may be worth visiting several gyms until you find a group and style you like.

India’s Newest NBA Hopeful Is a Window Into the Country’s Basketball Future

Half the Indian village of Dera Baba Nanak had gathered in the Singh family home. It was late July 2020, and relatives, friends, neighbors, kids, reporters, and even local politicians had poured into the modest four-room space, filling the house with the sugary aroma of pinni, a traditional Punjabi sweet that’s stuffed with almonds, pistachios, and raisins.
People had come to celebrate the then-19-year-old Princepal Singh, who had just been selected to the NBA G League’s select Ignite team. Standing at 6-foot-9 and 221 pounds, Singh is the tallest person in Dera Baba Nanak, a small farming community of just over 6,000 in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India. It’s a village where everyone knows everyone else. And everyone knows Princepal, whose nickname is “Prince.” He is the village’s star, hope, and portal to possibility: that someone from here could become something beyond here.
Singh’s selection to the Ignite team meant that he was one step away from reaching the NBA—and one step away from becoming the first Indian-born player to make an NBA roster. Satnam Singh (no relation to Princepal) became the first Indian-born player drafted into the NBA in 2015, when the Dallas Mavericks selected him 52nd, but he didn’t crack the roster. Two other Indian players—Amjyot Singh and Palpreet Singh (neither of whom is related to Princepal)—were drafted into the G League but failed to make it past that mark. And while Sim Bhullar was the first player of Indian descent to play in the NBA when he made his debut with the Sacramento Kings in 2015, he was born in Toronto.

Watch China’s First Aircraft Carrier Recover a Fighter Jet

A new video has surfaced that purportedly shows the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning recovering a J-15 strike fighter. The landing is perhaps the first video sourced from outside of Chinese state media to show operations on China’s first aircraft carrier.
The video likely comes from someone aboard the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Mustin, which was following the Chinese carrier strike group from a distance.
The date of the video isn’t clear. While the voices in the clip are speaking English, most of it is unintelligible. As a J-15 carrier-based fighter lands on Liaoning, a female sailor’s voice is clearly heard exclaiming, “Ooh!”
In the video, you can also see a Type 055 warship, which the U.S. Department of Defense classifies as a guided-missile cruiser, trailing the carrier. The camera also focuses on a Type 052D guided-missile destroyer leading the carrier strike group. Both surface warships reportedly broke off from the strike group before the events in the historic photograph showing Mustin’s commanding and executive officers watching the fleet from afar.

Meet the First Helo on Mars: A Deep Dive Into What Makes Ingenuity So…Ingenious

NASA’s Perseverance rover made its Martian debut this week—and strapped to its underbelly is one of NASA’s most daring scientific creations. Weighing at just four pounds (or 1.5 pounds on Mars), Ingenuity will become the first rotorcraft to explore the skies of another world.
To ensure the helicopter would be ready for its Red Planet debut, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, developed two Ingenuity prototypes. They subjected one prototype to rigorous environmental testing to see whether it could survive chilling temperatures and vibrations associated with lift-off and landing. The other was developed specifically for flight tests, which took place in a 25-foot- diameter vacuum-sealed space simulation chamber on JPL’s campus.
Now, it’s almost showtime. Once separated from the rover, Percy’s otherworldly helo will have just 30 martian solar days (commonly called sols, which are each 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds) to conduct a series of up to five test flights, each lasting anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds. The helicopter’s most ambitious hops, nearly all of which will be choreographed by Ingenuity itself, could take it as high as a single-story building and far as 1,000 feet.

Neutrinos Lead to Unexpected Discovery in Basic Math

After breakfast one morning in August, the mathematician Terence Tao opened an email from three physicists he didn’t know. The trio explained that they’d stumbled across a simple formula that, if true, established an unexpected relationship between some of the most basic and important objects in linear algebra.
The formula “looked too good to be true,” said Tao, who is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, a Fields medalist, and one of the world’s leading mathematicians. “Something this short and simple — it should have been in textbooks already,” he said. “So my first thought was, no, this can’t be true.”
Then he thought about it some more.
The physicists — Stephen Parke of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Xining Zhang of the University of Chicago, and Peter Denton of Brookhaven National Laboratory — had arrived at the mathematical identity about two months earlier while grappling with the strange behavior of particles called neutrinos.
