Re: All things Science related. λν = c
The fact that the a thing 93 MILLION miles away can still heat our little rock in space is incomprehensible to me. I accept it on an intellectual level but really, fully grasping the reality of it is just simply beyond my tiny little brain.
EDIT: I'll just have to build a robot to do it for me.

Imagine the earth is the size of a grape (half an inch), the moon would orbit about 12 inches away, the sun would be 5 feet in diameter and a distance from the earth of about 500 feet (or a city block), Jupiter is the size of a grapefruit and about 5 blocks away from the sun. Saturn (without the rings) would be the size of an orange and 10 blocks from the sun then Uranus the size of a lemon at 20 blocks and Neptune 30 blocks. The nearest start to us would then be 2,500 give or take a few miles. |

Re: All things Science related. λν = c
More amazing stuff computers CAN do.
NSA in Bluffdale, Utah Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. Bear in mind that just because you can't wrap your mind around a concept doesn't mean someone else hasn't already got something incredible up and running. But these mother****ers would blow your mind: Last edited by RedskinRat; 06-15-2012 at 01:16 PM. |

It's amazing to see how far they have come in such a short time, but with that said, there are certain bounds that have not yet been reached, and are far murkier even if and when they are reached. |

I'd compare it to a bunch of bumpkins standing around the Palace of Versailles trying to rescue a duck, a rooster and a sheep from a basket back in 1783, but that's just my take. |
