There are some great astronomy related photos in The Guardian today...

That's awesome...... I may actually download the thing, if I can clear 30G of space.

This one is beautiful, at least it would be without the doodling...

Yeah, counting the stars or how to count them also is interesting I think.

Picture 20 in your link also was beautiful with all those colors.

Last week the Dutch Ivo Labb� (team member from the University of Leiden) was in a talk show on Dutch television explaining about "Hubble Goes to the eXtreme to Assemble Farthest Ever View of the Universe" and how it took 10 years to get all info.
I enjoyed that: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/ar...eleases/2012/37

News flash! Science disproves psychic powers!

Who'd have thought?

Now listen to me very carefully...

That's freaky, awesome, but freaky.

I have the urge to throw it in molten lead.

That would have made some lessons at school more interesting for sure

That's awesome, especially considering their age.

"1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity"...... Why aren't we all doing this? With the amount I drink I could constantly power a fucking town. If we get everyone from the Alcoholic Alliance thread on board, we can collectively solve global warming. In your face, Al Gore!

What if he's into that?

This is awesome, but can power how much for 6 hours? A watch? A vacuum cleaner?

Duh, the article said 1 litre of urine. So obviously that equates to 1 litre of electricity. Can't you think?!

Perhaps it's enough power to flush a single toilet from a 6 hour charge? *sad horn*

Awesome! I was actually reading up on optics today, and I was pretty sure this has been done before.... but I'm evidently wrong.

It's 'straightforward' to do in one and two dimensions apparently, but they think it will take them another few decades to render something invisible in 3 dimensions, with the frequencies of visible light..... using this method anyway, there are a few others.

No Harry Potter cloaks just yet.

Woooooooow, I just read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20300100

Supersymmetry has been given a punch in the face by the LHC! So it looks like supersymmetry could potentially be disproven

Originally posted by Acton I don't think a thread like this has been created before, so fuck it.... I made one (actually I'm sure there is one, but I can't be arsed look for it). I guess it could be a thread for some awesome science related stuff? I'm sure there's one in the forum somewhere, but search is broke. Anyway... I don't usually dive into biology, as it's not fundamental enough, but add math with biology and you have a winner..... so I figured out something rather interesting (I'm clearly not the first to realise the below statement by the way, but tonight was the first time I figured it out, so it was somewhat a personal revalation). So.... I have 2 parents....and they both had 2 parents....and they in turn had 2 parents.... so if I go back 3 generations, there are 8 people who contributed to my genetic code, how awesome is that?! .......... Not so much, the problem is, if we take this mathematical logic back to ONLY 32 generations ago, my (and indeed everyone else's as this isn't a special case) genetic code must have logically come from circa 6 billion 'parents'.......... which is a number larger than the current population of the planet......... ........ Conclusion? - we're all members of a genetically non-diversified, INBRED species and we're all technically related Science, fuck yeah!

sure

The history of England concerns the study of the human past in one of Europe's oldest and most influential national territories. What is now England, a country within the United Kingdom, was inhabited by hominids 800,000 years ago as the discovery of flint tools at Happisburgh in Norfolk have revealed
