Mind Blown

Do you ever think, perhaps, that the universe that we could be living in, is simply a brain cell of another living creature?

Time for Some Quizzes

There are some really great quizzes over at The Christian Science Monitor (CSMonitor.com)! There are literally pages & pages of them too. Go take a few and see how smart you are..

The Starchild Project

The Starchild Skull is a genuine 900-year-old bone skull found in Mexico in the 1930s. The Starchild Project is an informal organization which began in 1999 when Ray and Melanie Young, the owners of the Starchild Skull, asked Lloyd Pye to head research efforts to determine what caused the unusual shape and properties of the bone.

The results uncovered by the research team ruled out all known deformities, and presented the scientific community with a genetic and physical profile never before seen on Earth.

Now new DNA findings indicate that the Starchild Skull may well be "alien"! Now all that remains is to determine whether alien means "foreign to normal human genetics within the framework of that subject as it is currently understood," or "definitely not from planet Earth"... or something in between.

A Spectacular New Movie?

I haven't yet seen this film, but what can be said for a brand new movie that launches itself onto this spot in history? Better than Godfather II.. Better than The Good, the Bad, And The Ugly.. Better than Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...


Click to enlarge this list..

And all the others are here, in the case that you didn't enlarge - Go check out how this movie is slaughtering a ton of good films.

It kinda blows my mind. Click that to see my voting history.

I guess I may need to actually go see a movie in the theater for once.

An Incredible Tattoo

Via

I've actually seen this on several sites now, and it's about time I post it. Why? Because I presume it's on the same arm. I mean why would he get the same tattoo twice, since it reads something different upside down? That's why.

Yeah you're seeing "art&science" one way and "philosophy" the other.

Too cool!

Acoustic Levitation

Acoustic levitation is a method for suspending matter by using radiation pressure from intense sound waves - ex. an ultrasound emitter and reflector generate a sound pressure field. Some methods can levitate objects without creating sound heard by the human ear, others produce some audible sound. Apparently ants, spiders and ladybugs have endured this trick.

Here's an annoying video about it (turn down your volume a bit):


This is an acoustic levitation chamber I designed and built in 1987 as a micro-gravity experiment for NASA related subject matter. The 12 inch cubed plexiglass Helmholtz Resonant Cavity has 3 speakers attached to the cube by aluminum acoustic waveguides.

By applying a continuous resonant(600Hertz) sound wave, and by adjusting the amplitude and phase relationship amongst the 3 speakers; I was able to control levitation and movement in all 3 (x,y,z) axis of the ambient space.

This research was used to show the effects of micro-gravity conditions that exist in the space shuttle environment in orbit, but done here on Earth in a lab.
This is not "anti-gravity." So don't waste time arguing something pointless.
