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

Wow! I guess the question of whether someone in a vegetative state is conscious or not, has just been answered. Back to the drawing board indeed.

100,000 Stars is a new experiment for Chrome web browsers (or any other WebGL browser like Firefox or Safari) that lets you interactively explore the Milky Way galaxy with your mouse and scroll wheel. It's gorgeous and well worth exploring.

Phwoar, that's quite sexual. If only it covered the entire Milky Way, with over 100 billion+ stars!

'Petri Nets, Discrete Physics, and Distributed Quantum Computation'-
Samson Abramsky
Oxford University Computing Laboratory



Abstract. We shall describe connections between Petri nets, quantum physics and category theory. The view of Net theory as a kind of discrete physics has been consistently emphasized by Carl-Adam Petri. The con- nections between Petri nets and monoidal categories were illuminated in pioneering work by Ugo Montanari and Jose Meseguer. Recent work by the author and Bob Coecke has shown how monoidal categories with certain additional structure (dagger compactness) can be used as the set- ting for an effective axiomatization of quantum mechanics, with striking applications to quantum information. This additional structure matches the extension of the Montanari-Meseguer approach by Marti-Oliet and Meseguer, motivated by linear logic.

To a large extent, and by design, Net Theory can be seen as a kind of discrete physics: lines are time-like causal flows, cuts are space-like regions, process unfoldings of a marked net are like the solution trajectories of a differential equation.

Post-Quantum Diffie-Hellman and Symmetric Key Exchange Protocols

Xiangdong Li, Lin Leung, A.C.T. Kwan, Xiaowen Zhang, D. Kahanda, M. Anshel
New York City Coll. of Technol., City Univ. of New York, Brooklyn, NY
07/2006; DOI:10.1109/IAW.2006.1652122 In proceeding of: Information Assurance Workshop, 2006

ABSTRACT

If an eavesdropper Eve is equipped with quantum computers, she can easily break the public key exchange protocols used today. In this paper we discuss the post-quantum Diffie-Hellman key exchange and private key exchange protocols.

Could it be signs of organic life?

As mentioned in the article... organic molecules, never mind life, would be an awesome discovery!

Or non-discovery

Again, NASA, a corporation NOT owned by the United States Government, has been well informed of 'Life on Mars' for a while now.

Galaxies come in all shapes and sizes: from those with compact fuzzy bulges or central bars to galaxies with winding spiral arms. Astronomer Edwin Hubble classified these different breeds of galaxies by means of a diagram known as the Hubble Tuning Fork. Click picture for interactive link The tuning fork shape presents elliptical galaxies along the handle, and two different populations of spiral galaxies on the fork�s �prongs� to differentiate between spiral galaxies with a central bar, and those without. The diagram also describes the shape of the galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are positioned further along the handle towards the fork depending on how elongated they appear, while spiral galaxies are organised by how tightly wound their arms are. Of course, there are always exceptions, and a separate class of �irregular� galaxies conforms to neither group, perhaps as a result of a collision or merging event disrupting their shape. In this interactive tuning fork diagram, 61 nearby galaxies studied by ESA�s Herschel and NASA�s Spitzer space telescopes are presented. The galaxies are located 10�100 million light-years from Earth and were surveyed as part of two programmes: the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: a Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel (Kingfish) and the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey.

Holy shit! Chop my arm off! Now I wont be so careful when I work with machinery and shit! Fuck it, take my legs too! Get those bouncy legs and robotic arms! Then I'll do amazing shit. Get spiked legs and climb a mountain you know. Retrofit my arms with a couple guns, and a hidden sword. Send me to Afghanistan jumping 7 feet in the air. Fuck it, chop me up!

Bioengineered Nano-Jellyfish Captures Cancer Cells in the Bloodstream

The device is actually a microfluidic chip that�s been coated with long strands of DNA, which dangle down into the bloodstream and bind to any cancerous proteins floating past � directly imitating the way a jellyfish scoops up grub in the ocean.

If required, the chip can release these cells unharmed for later inspection. According to the chip�s designers at Boston�s Brigham and Women�s Hospital, the catch-and-release mechanism can be put to both diagnostic and therapeutic use in the fight against Big C, and can also be used to isolate good things, like fetal cells. The next step will be to test the device on human.

They're probably listening to an interpreter.

I wonder if shit floats around in your body in zero-G. Obviously the intestines are quite constrictive, so it's probably not going to float up into your stomach and right out of your throat, but who knows? Maybe space morning breath is extra bad.
