Nzoner's Game Room>Science is Cool....
Fish 09:43 PM 05-21-2012
This is a repository for all cool scientific discussion and fascination. Scientific facts, theories, and overall cool scientific stuff that you'd like to share with others. Stuff that makes you smile and wonder at the amazing shit going on around us, that most people don't notice.

Post pictures, vidoes, stories, or links. Ask questions. Share science.

Why should I care?:

Here is the passage that he, and said website, claims about light's properties:

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,



Sounds ironclad to me...

Oh.

I don't want to derail this thread any further, but I really don't think that physics was being discussed in that passage...

I'll help: Here's an interesting article on Positron Dynamics, a new company attempting to make antimatter a "workable" energy source. Controlled positron-electron annihilation could possibly pave the way for fusion catalysis. Intriguing possibilities abound.
Just cooling down the positrons will make then controllable?

Bob Bakker is now doubting that a meteor caused the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. He has a couple of interesting points.

First, dinosaurs were on the decline starting 85 million years ago and were probably extinct by the time of the meteor.

Second, there has never been an excavation of a dinosaur in the strata when the meteor struck.

His suggestion is for all paleontologists to sit back and take a breath and rethink what they've been "told."

His hypothesis is that the 20 million year decline/extinction was because of disease and other environmental issues.

Interesting. We'll see where this goes.

Wonder if they went extinct solely because of food scarcity, brought on by their own size and by environmental changes

This is an actual photo of Saturn, taken by Cassini who has been kicking all kinds of ass doing science stuff over in that part of the galaxy.



A NASA spacecraft has revealed an unprecedented view of Saturn from space, showing the entire gas giant backlit by the sun with several of its moons and all but one of its rings, as Earth, Venus and Mars all appear as pinpricks light in the background.

It's even possible for them to zoom in and see our moon....

Supposedly the most popular place in the ISS.. especially considering they see 15 sunrises and 15 sunsets every single day. How weird would that feel?

I remember when I first heard of the ISS as a kid I thought they made an actual building in space. I thought it would be a cool place to live. But now that I see pictures and videos of it, I just can't imagine how the astronauts and scientists spend months and years there. The novelty of space has to wear off in a few weeks.
