The XmR chart, made in #LabPlot [2.12dev], of the count of #Nobel Prizes in #Physics awarded in the years 1900-2024.

A single point falling outside the computed control limits should be interpreted as an indication of an assignable cause exerting a dominant effect on the process.

I was curious how well wealthy countries do at hosting refugees.

The plots are interactive so its better to view them here: https://www.unhcr.org/refugee-statistics/insights/explainers/refugee-hosting-metrics.html

In the plot, the size of the circle is the number of refugees.

Germany is really doing an amazing job, y'all should be proud.

Compared to Chile, the US has 15x the population and 5x the wealth per capita but hosts fewer refugees. I certainly don't have the full picture but its not a good look.

In the UN General Assembly, do some countries consistently vote the same way?

This plot lays out patterns of similarity in voting behaviour in the decade starting in January 2015. Countries that are close together in space on the plot tend to be similar in their voting.

Clearly the countries are divided and united by certain political themes, but the analysis is blind to these: all it sees is the votes themselves, not the topics voted upon.

Nevertheless, it has picked out a cluster of European nations in the top centre, joined by Ukraine and, more loosely, by Japan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. The United States and Israel are a pair of outliers, voting almost identically to one another and often very differently from the rest of the world.

The technique used is logistic PCA, a decomposition method for use with binary data. Data is from the UN digital library. Visualisation done in R.

Two supermassive black holes are locked in an orbital dance at the core of the distant galaxy OJ 287. This diagram shows their sizes relative to the solar system. The larger one, with about 18 billion times the mass of our sun (right), would encompass all the planets in the solar system with room to spare. The smaller one is about 150 million times the mass of our sun (left), which would be large enough to swallow up everything out to the asteroid belt, just inside the orbit of Jupiter.
