Cool stuff.

Hopefully that robot goes to law school and becomes a judge.

That is awesome. Reminds me of this movie.

Nah...would never work...the poor robot would still be getting thoughts from us flawed humans...LOL!

NASA's biggest rover is set to land on Mars in August.

Mars Rover Landing Set For August 5, NASA's 'Curiosity' Team Says


Thought I'd add a picture from one of Mars rover that was just taken recently.

Some perspective.

I want to live on the bright pretty one, Mu Cephei.

No, no you don't.


That would be a red super giant star. Now, if you masquerade as the Human Torch, I'll allow this. :FIREdevil

That Kurzweil website has some of the coolest science articles. Definitely a website that should be bookmarked.

These pictures that have come out of Mars are mind blowing.

I concur good sir.



A link to the Mars rover site at NASA for any interested.

Popular Science:

Soldiers scanning the battlefield for threats may soon get a new tool: a brain-scanning set of binoculars that can pick up on a soldier’s unconscious recognition of a potential threat and bring it to his conscious attention. It’s just one of many ways DARPA and other military research groups are looking to have soldiers mind-meld with their machines and materiel, and it demonstrates how remarkably close we are to deploying mind-control on the battlefield.

Ah, technology! What could possibly go wrong?

Wolf 359?
Who named that?

Something new we both learned today and good question by the way.


Wolf 359 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf 359 first came to the attention of astronomers because of the relatively high rate of transverse motion against the background, known as the proper motion. A high rate of proper motion can indicate that a star is located nearby, as more distant stars must move at higher velocities in order to achieve the same rate of angular travel across the celestial sphere. The proper motion of Wolf 359 was first measured in 1917 by German astronomer Max Wolf, with the aid of astrophotography. In 1919 he published a catalog of over one thousand stars with high proper motions, including this one, that are still identified by his name.[14] He listed this star as entry number 359, and the star has since been referred to as Wolf 359 in reference to Max Wolf's catalogue.[15]

TL|DR: Named after Max Wolf's entry of this star into his catalogue. (#359)

Pretty interesting take on the acetic acid sodium bicarbinate reaction. It appears shes using some sort of composite paper-mache-like material to house the decomposition double replacement reaction. Whats most striking to me is the green substance emitted from the apex of the right circulus cone like structure. It could be as simple as a food pigmentation additive or perhaps shes experimenting with more radical substances. Stunning nonetheless.

Mmmmmm, science!



A representation of the evolution of the universe over 13.7 billion years. The far left depicts the earliest moment we can now probe, when a period of "inflation" produced a burst of exponential growth in the universe. (Size is depicted by the vertical extent of the grid in this graphic.) For the next several billion years, the expansion of the universe gradually slowed down as the matter in the universe pulled on itself via gravity. More recently, the expansion has begun to speed up again as the repulsive effects of dark energy have come to dominate the expansion of the universe. The afterglow light seen by WMAP was emitted about 380,000 years after inflation and has traversed the universe largely unimpeded since then. The conditions of earlier times are imprinted on this light; it also forms a backlight for later developments of the universe.
