    MIT and Climate Change

    Looks like MIT has come up with a concept on how to - at least - mitigate Climate Change: https://senseable.mit.edu/space-bubbles/ Silicon "Space Bubbles" at the L-1 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun. May not be able to completely reverse it but, could at least buy time...

    Strange pattern found inside world’s largest atom smasher has physicists excited

    I'm not sure what they've found, and they may not be either but: https://www.livescience.com/LHCb-hints-new-physics.html Basically, they were expecting electrons and muons to be produced in roughly even numbers in the experiment and...nope. Heavily favored electrons. Standard model may be in...

    Graviton? Or no graviton?

    Not sure if this is just "whistling Dixie" so to speak but, here goes... What if there is no graviton? Gravity is considered one of the weakest of all of the fundamental forces. Science has been trying to find out why and has been trying to find the graviton - the supposed carrier of that...

    Projecting Magnetic Fields?

    Looks like the tractor beam - and maybe deflectors aren't so far-fetched after all? https://www.livescience.com/magnetic-fields-created-from-afar.html This also wrecks a few older theories about how magnetic fields act. Why do I suspect this could lead to answers for Dark Energy and Dark...

    Ren and Stimpy to be rebooted?!?

    Ummm... I knew ViacomCBS was a bit nuts but..? https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/05/entertainment/ren-stimpy-reboot/index.html And no - John Kricfalusi is apparently not involved.

    Peter Green (original Fleetwood Mac) has died

    Exceptional talent - even impressed B.B. King - gone at 73: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53539989 Just a casual sample of his style later in life:

    IDIC - how it fits now...

    I know there have been some discussions of this concept here (many times) but, right now - with all of the wrongs on this world (some of which MAY be righted soon) this concept needs to be repeated: IDIC - Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations "The glory of creation is in its infinite...

    Freeman Dyson has passed at 96

    One of the greatest "free thinkers" of all time has finally passed: https://www.popsci.com/story/science/freeman-dyson-obituary/

    Stupidity as a contagion?

    With all of the insane things going on - much of it prompted by incompetent politicians and "crazy people with blood in their eyes" (to steal a line from Don Henley), you have to wonder if stupidity is actually a transmittable disease... It used to only be spread by direct or at least...

    Pale Blue Dot...

    I want everyone to watch this video (hopefully for more, again) and think about what Carl was saying:

    Roy Clark - Guitar virtuoso - gone

    I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't shown up yet: https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/roy-clark-country-guitar-virtuoso-hee-haw-star-59218857 I know that not everyone is into ol' fashioned Country and Western music but, you got to admit, he was a spectacular talent:

    Rose Marie - gone at 94

    I haven't seen a thread on this yet. Rose Marie (aka Baby Rose Marie) passed today: http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/28/entertainment/rose-marie-dies/index.html If you didn't grow up watching the old "Dick Van Dyke" show, you may not be familiar with her but, she was one of the funniest women on...

    Standard Model of Particle Physics?

    There's a possibility that the Standard Model may not be either correct (despite being very accurate) or complete: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lawbreaking-particles-may-point-to-a-previously-unknown-force-in-the-universe/ At this point, the odds in favor of these experimental...

    Edgar Allan Poe...Cosmologist?

    Gratuitus Space Battles?

    Looks like a game designed simply to be fun...nothing more complex (like this looks simple): http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/07/gratuitous-space-battles-is-just-that/
