hypothesis vs Theory
As part of a discussion on the fediverse it was suggested I offer an explanation as to the difference between hypothesis and theory.
So I looked this up on Cambridge Dictionary
And found the following. I am linking to the full page here too.
hypothesis link noun [ C ]
an idea or explanation for something that is based on known facts but has not yet been proved:
theory Link noun [ C or U ]
a formal statement of the rules on which a subject of study is based or of ideas that are suggested to explain a fact or event or, more generally, an opinion or explanation:

I have had another go at growing salt crystals. This time I dissolved a quantity of pure Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in to water using a conical flask, then poured this solution in to a glass dish and left for about 2/3 weeks.
Eventually all the water evaporated away, leaving crystals behind. Using my USB microscope, I found and took a picture of some that had grown in to a nice cube shape.
Update 29/7/2023
I have taken another photo using the USB Microscope and also included the calibration / measurement sheet in the photo to try and illustrate crystal size.
Please see Mastodon post for details.

STEM Group 12/8/2023 updated on 28 July 2023
The next stem group will be on Saturday 12th August 2023, 11am to 15:00. But will be slightly different.
Due to a Fun Family Festival taking place, which I am helping with as it also ties in nicely with the STEM group. I am planning an activity around:-
As a result, I won't be in the IT suite and therefore will not be able to help with any IT / Computing related activities or DEAL with any problems that arise.
For information contact Paignton Library directly with regard to any questions about this.
Next STEM group

We are now going to build the 4th row of molecules in the infographic below.
I have built the models I can, I only have Sulfur atoms with 2 and 4 holes, so building some of these requires six bonds. I can therefore build and photograph them, but will leave the label in place.
Sulfoxide
Sulfone
Sulfinic Acid
Sulfonic Acid
Sulfonate Ester
Thiocyanate
Isothiocyanate
Thial
Thioketone
Phosphine

Advances in formation theory of supermassive black holes.
Another article posted to the Fediverse. This looks at new theories around the formation of Supermassive black holes
Supermassive black holes exist in the centres of Galaxies, there is one at the centre of the Milky way galaxy which was photographed a few years ago. The photo below is from the Wikipedia article.
