Zooniverse Talk
Oh, why not, I'll jump on as well...
Greetings, salutations, howdy and g'day to you all, I'm hiig, and I've been an avid fan of anything related to citizen science for many years. I'm an unstable mix of multiculturalism, growing up in Australia with an Arabic first name, but a family and last name that's Hungarian, in a Greek community nestled between a Chinese and Lebanese community. Love Indian and Japanese food, and currently live in Dubai for work, after a 7 year stay in Sweden.
Got my first taste of voluntary projects with Folding@Home, though for most of my life I never really owned a powerful computer. I spent many high school lunch breaks sneaking the software onto school computers (which I knew I shouldn't have done, but hey, when you're young and reckless...).
Branched out into BOINC projects, primarily helping those that lacked as many participants as the more popular ones, using a new computer I had finally gathered funds to build. It was also at this point that I first learned about citizen science projects where volunteers would actively participate in the projects they'd assist, so in my free time when I didn't know what to do, I'd have sat for hours watching videos of birds for Wildlife@Home.
Fast forwarding a little, I got a job as a flight attendant and moved to Dubai. Been over a year since then, but only in the last few months did I discover Zooniverse. I quickly gravitated towards the astronomy projects (pardon the horrible pun), so now I'd be in the bed of a hotel in some different city, tapping away on my phone for science, sometimes for my entire stay if there's no motivation for me to go out.
Since I'm regularly using my job as a way of meeting people I've chatted with for years online, maybe one day I'll bump into in of you folks. I would definitely jump at an opportunity to share a few drinks with the science folks here!
Until then, here's to science!
Say hello - introduce yourself

Sorry guys. I should have been more careful, and tried to understand better my 'intended audience' before writing.
Yes, "GR" is General Relativity, or the Theory of General Relativity (GTR). WP has a good, if brief (and maybe too technical?) description of quintessence (link; yes it refers to one particular idea about the nature of Dark Energy (DE); it has nothing to do with Dark Matter (DM)).
GR is one of two key bases for what is called the LCDM (or ΛCDM) consensus model of cosmology; L stands for the Greek letter lambda, Λ; CDM for cold dark matter. Ned Wright has an excellent tutorial on cosmology (link); sorry if it's too technical for any reader. Not long after he published GR, Einstein worked on applying it to the universe as a whole (actually, I think some others did that before him, but the key part of the relevant history has to do with Einstein's work). At the time, he thought the universe was static, not expanding or contracting. When he looked at solutions to his GR equations, he found that they implied that the universe was not static! This was too much for him to accept, so he added a 'fudge factor' (as we might call it today), a 'cosmological constant'. He used the symbol for capital lambda for this, hence the "L" (or Λ). True, this made the universe static ... but also unstable. And not long afterwards Hubble published a paper which seemed to show that the universe was expanding ... and Einstein called Λ his "greatest blunder".
Fast forward to well after Einstein had died, 1998: evidence that the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating was published (WP is a good place to start on this; link). That evidence is consistent with a non-zero value of Λ; the general phenomenon has been given the name "Dark Energy", attributed to Michael Turner.
Hope this helps.

Since the times of the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Africans, they have found the planets or "moving stars". They were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. If you look at one of these in the sky, it will look like a bright star. Nevertheless, they found that they were planets, because they moved in the night sky. These civilizations were very advanced at their time, and we still use their discoveries to this date. If this planet can be visible in the day perfectly clear to the naked eye, these ancient civilizations would have noticed it much easier than all the other planets. Also, why is it only during the day? If this was a true object, it would be the second brightest object in the night sky, after the Moon.
Did I find Planet9/PlanetX? PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!

If an inifinite universe is subject to a constant and limits-free expansion as I previously assumed, then it won't reach an end. But, in this case, we're speaking in terms of dimensions; if we are to consider a potential shape of the Universe or the direction of its expansion, then it would be a different question but related to dimensions though. It could be that shape , direction and size are all variables dependent on each other and it is also likely that they are not: the concept of "infinite" would be completely different. String theory is one of the many formulations that has tried to discover the relationship among dimensions and how we conceive of them.
In my opinion, rationality is a common way we use to approach what surrounds us everyday. A rational being could be one that build their views and conclusions according to specific rules that have been instilled in our way of reasoning since the early years. A typical example of a set of this rules is logic. We have learned that logic is the "right" method for obtaining the "right" results; although many think that being logical is almost a natural and innate feature of evolved human beings, they actually couldn't be right. In fact, logic is a discipline developed by ancient Greeks (especially by Aristotle) in order to provide an effective method for explaining everything. In the ancient ages, science ("scientia") was defined as the use of logical demonstrations to explain general truths!
Therefore, there probably are lots of rules for approaching problems and situations, and those that don't belong to the definition of "rationality" they are usually considered mindblowing, but not false or true. To make a reference to the Universe, it is not utterly impossible for it to lie on principles that are not rational. Quantum physics is a great example.
For what concerns "nothing" - by following the widely-accepted logic - asking whether there was something before the creation of the Universe doesn't make sense, it's incorrect. If we try to analyse the term "nothing" freeing ourselves from its well-know meaning, and therefore trying not to use rationality, then we'll have countless ways to think about it and even replace it. However, in this case we'll go past the current limits of science through more metaphysical methods. If "nothing" really exists depends on how you see it, but if you want a scientific-based answer, then I think that imagination (why not added to a discreet amount of mathematics and physics) is the only available mean now.
For the Universe expansion we need cosmological models predicting the fate of the Universe itself. The limit you've mentioned, has been predicted by the oscillating universe theory, which combines the Big Crunch and Big Bang theories. Precisely, it reports that the born (Big Bang) and death (Big Crunch) of the Universe is a cyclical process (probably a loop?); therefore there is a birth and and an end, the latter caused by the Universe finishing its expansion due to gravity being greater than dark energy, and following a reverse-like big bang in order to become a new singularity. Nonetheless, this theory is currently very difficult to support with scientific means, as, most importantly, it breaks the second law of thermodynamics (which states that the entropy of a system can only increase, and the big crunch lead to a decrease of it, and .)
If the Universe will be expanding at very high rates, many scientists think that this could lead to the "Big Rip": the ratio between the pressure of dark energy and its density will assume a negative value, and the matter (galaxies, stars, planets) of the entire universe will be completely destroyed.
You also have a point in thinking that nothing won't be created, because this is the "Big Freeze" model, according to which the Universe will reach a state where entropy is equally distributed and no more processes will be possible.
Incredibly, collisions between objects like galaxies are not so rare. It is widely-proved that the Milky Way is colliding with Andromeda - of course, such process will require around 4.5 billion years.

zoooniverse has the facility to show your project in other languages. This facility allows all (at least most, depending on the language) of the zooinverse supplied content to be presented in alternate languages, and a tool for the project owner to supply translations of all the owner supplied content for each alternate language.
Then it is up to your volunteers to use any utf-8 characters they wish for volunteer text input such as a transcription task - zooniverse can handle any utf-8 encoded character set.
So there are projects here that are in Hebrew or Arabic that transcribe documents in those languages. I am sure Greek would be even simpler since the text direction is left to right like English, as compared to Hebrew where that issue can be difficult for mixed character sets (eg a transcription with both Hebrew and ascii characters)
Have a search through the project building stuff for language options and how to go about it. I do believe you still have to request zooniverse staff to turn on the language option for your project. If Greek is currently not supported I am sure zooniverse will work with you to add it if you can provide translation assistance.

- Actually I don't want much modifications. I just want an on-screen greek keyboard for labelling of Greek Papyrus Fragments. Such keyboard has also been used in a project "Scribbes of Cairo". Can somebody please guide how much funding would it require

Why do we do ZOO? This thread is for when you need a boost with your chosen Zooniverse projects.
ZOO gives us an opportunity to learn, to work with primary data, and to experience some of the behind-the-scenes sheer WORK of science. IMHO, that's a privilege. But it can also be challenging. Which is where/when this thread comes in. What quotes make science and Citizen Science meaningful to you?
For any project:
Marcus Aurelius, last of the "good" Roman emperors, wrote:
"Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life."
I looked for an old familiar quote, but couldn't find a source for this (obviously pre-dates political correctness):
"The mind of man [sic] knows no bounds save the universe itself."
Carl Sagan, from "Pale Blue Dot":
Cosmos is a Greek word for the order of the universe. It is, in a way, the opposite of Chaos. It implies the deep interconnectedness of all things. It conveys awe for the intricate and subtle way in which the universe is put together.
Along the way, I stumbled across 2 new ones that seem appropriate, at
[https://healingbrave.com/blogs/all/universe-quotes-spiritual]
-- “If we would just take a moment to look around, we would find that the universe is in constant communication with us.” — Alexandria Hotmer
-- “The Universe is saying: ‘Allow me to flow through you unrestricted, and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen.’” — Klaus Joehle
For astronomy projects -- where Zoo began:
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

Hello!
I’m Georgia, an undergraduate Theology student at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
For the past three years, I’ve been deeply engaged in Greek palaeography, papyrology, and codicology through academic seminars and transcription practice. I’ve also worked with Latin manuscript material, and I have a basic understanding of the Arabic language.
I’m passionate about ancient texts, manuscript cultures, and digital humanities. I’m excited to contribute to Zooniverse projects related to historical documents and to connect with others who share the same love for handwritten history.
