Each of these are such interesting topics. Each makes me wish I would have finished my degree in science, I am pretty sure I would have loved research. So now all I can do is think about how interesting it all is ::) :P

The first one with the Uranium and time reversal Now that is interesting. Will need to start looking that up

Yes one that I had not heard of before...somehow.
typing hastatic order for a search ..lots out there..really cool
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastatic_order
Hastatic order is a fundamental way of breaking double "time-reversal" symmetry.[1] It is present in the heavy-fermion compound URu2Si2.[2] This order was dubbed hastatic from hasta, the Latin word for "spear".[3] Its cycle is twice as complex as magnetism.
Discovery
Hastatic order was first reported in January 2013 when the heavy-fermion uranium compound URu2Si2 was cooled to nearly ?415 °F (?248.3 °C). It was said to produce extra heat and the heat was the main mystery. After the extra heat was released, particles were arranged at this way, making the hastatic order present on that reaction.

The "Time reversal" thing caught my attention because I was just updating the Project Looking Glass material on the website and that is about time revrersal of light rays to see possible futures and directly connected with Los Alamos lab and Area 51
So yeah need to follow this one :P
Number 2 the variable constants I find very interesting!
