Prehistoric Fix

Cryptoberyx is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cenomanian.

The equipartition theorem is a general formula that relates the temperature of a system with its average energies. The equipartition theorem is also known as the law of equipartition, equipartition of energy, or simply equipartition. The original idea of equipartition was that, in thermal equilibrium, energy is shared equally among all of its various forms; for example, the average kinetic energy per degree of freedom in the translational motion of a molecule should equal that of its rotational motions.

What I like about these two new things/words I learned -- apart from the prefixes which I lovadore - is that despite the appearance of modernity and novelty and high-techness shown by the equipartitioned particles, that's actually way older and more prehistoric than the prehistoric fish.  All these animations and models showing the Universe and how it started and how it works?  It fascinates me how they give me the impression, momentarily, that it's all new and shiny, airbrushed and laminated, when in fact it is the v opposite-- and fossils are newer than stars!
