We're all going to die of the flu one day...

deathky

scientists prove once and for all that they are crazy as hell and rather than wait for the fabled judgement day, we are going to be the arbiters of our own demise.

On another note Attenborough is awesome, remember watching the old wildlife programs with my family as a kid, pure class.

The follow-up to the bird-flu debate is out: the US asks Science and Nature to censor the articles, and give the full version only to those 'qualified'. Which raises the question, who is qualified? I bet there will be a few biological weapon manufacturers who will be, and a lot of regular scientists who won't.

We are being invaded. This kind of reminds me of trillions...gosh that was a long time ago.

How bots are taking over the world. Or "The making of John Conner's murderer."

Even more Skynet! Can't they see what they're doing?

Popsci- dark matter article

Linky

Quote

A dark matter particle smacks into an average person’s body about once a minute, and careens off oxygen and hydrogen nuclei in your cells, according to theoretical physicists. Dark matter is streaming through you as you read this, most of it unimpeded.
Dark matter is arguably the greatest mystery in modern physics. Observations from multiple sources across a few decades now shows that most of the universe is made of matter we can’t see — hence the name — but no one has been able to find it. One strong candidate for this dark material is called a WIMP, for weakly interacting massive particle, and there are a variety of observatories in Europe and the U.S. that are looking for these things. Some have found promising hints, but others have seen a whole lot of nothing.

cosmologists generally agree there’s a halo of dark matter particles out there, and our solar system and our planet are flying through it. In a new paper, Katherine Freese at the University of Michigan and Christopher Savage at Stockholm University in Sweden thought about what this means for our bodies.
We know dark matter does not interact normally with regular matter — otherwise we’d be able to see it — so that means most of the particles pass through us. But some might interact with a hydrogen or oxygen nucleus, changing their energies or spins. The researchers use a 70-kg human (about 155 pounds) as an example, and calculate how many particles may be careening around based on signals from the DAMA, CoGeNT and CRESST experiments. Of the billions of high-energy WIMPs passing through a body every second, fewer than 10 hit a body’s nuclei in a given year. But lower energy WIMPs make impact much more frequently, around 100,000 collisions per person per year. That’s about one per minute.
What does this mean? Maybe nothing, in terms of impacts on human health — cosmic and solar radiation also rains down on us all the time, and it has many more detrimental effects. But it’s interesting to think that we ourselves could be dark matter detectors.


We're under attack! Run for the hill...no that won't work.

It maths... But what is science without maths...

The mathematically minded amongst you might recognise Cantor's Diagonal Proof... Which goes to show what a genius Cantor was for proving something so mindblowing with such a simple proof.


If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants. Bertrand Russell
