Giggles surpresses EPA global warming hoax report

admin — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:34:46 +0000

The EPA had assigned Alan Carlin to research global warm and then he came out with a 98 page report essentially rebuffing Al Gore’s claims. He also found the information the EPA was using was out of date, and that even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined. Since this was not with the regime’s agenda, Giggle surprised the report and Alan Carlin.

Sun leaves Earth wide open to cosmic rays

Jimmy — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:15:10 +0000

Our sun periodically leaves Earth open to assaults from interstellar nasties in a way that most stars do not. How can this be you ask? The sun protects us by a kind of force field called heliosphere – a bubble of solar wind that extends past Pluto. As we travel through space, the solar system passes through very dense gas and dust clouds, the heliosphere can shrink until its edge is inside Earth’s orbit. The cosmic rays would damage the ozone layer, and interstellar dust could dim sunlight and trigger an ice age.

‘Cloak of Silence’ Tech Could Hide Submarines

Article excerpt: A new invisibility cloak for sound could help doctors find tiny tumors or hide submarines from enemy sonar.

“Our focus is not about dampening noise, but to guide sound waves around structures,” said Nicholas Fang, a professor a the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and coauthor, along with Shu Zhang and Leilei Yin, on a paper that appears in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Physicists create ‘black hole for sound’

Jimmy — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:22:38 +0000

Article except: They do this by coaxing a material to move faster than the speed of sound in that medium, so that sound waves travelling within it cannot keep up, like fish swimming in a fast-moving stream. The sound is effectively trapped in the stream-like event horizon. An artificial black hole that traps sound instead of light has been created in an attempt to detect theoretical Hawking radiation.

High-Altitude Wind Machines Could Power New York City

Jimmy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:35:56 +0000

Excerpt: The wind blowing through the streets of Manhattan couldn’t power the city, but wind machines placed thousands of feet above the city theoretically could.

The first rigorous, worldwide study of high-altitude wind power estimates that there is enough wind energy at altitudes of about 1,600 to 40,000 feet to meet global electricity demand a hundred times over.

Planet ’spotted’ in Andromeda galaxy

Jimmy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:40:59 +0000

Article Excerpt: Astronomers believe they may have discovered the first planet ever detected in another galaxy. The new world was apparently glimpsed in the closest giant spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, Messier 31 in the constellation of Andromeda. It lies an incredible 2.5 million light-years away – too far normally to be seen. But it revealed itself thanks to a phenomenon called microlensing where the gravitational field of an object closer to Earth acts like a magnifying glass.

“Human”-Faced Missing Link Found in Spain?

Article Excerpt: An 11.9-million-year-old fossil ape species with an unusually flat, “surprisingly human” face has been found in Spain. The discovery suggests humans’ ape ancestors split from primitive apes in Europe, not Africa—the so-called cradle of humanity—a new study says.

That’s the finding from a group of researchers at UCLA who used high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the brains of people who meditate. In a study published in the journal NeuroImage and currently available online (by subscription), the researchers report that certain regions in the brains of long-term meditators were larger than in a similar control group.

White Blood Cells Can Sprout ‘Legs’ And Move Like Millipedes

admin — Fri, 08 May 2009 05:24:36 +0000

ScienceDaily (May 4, 2009) — How do white blood cells – immune system ‘soldiers’ – get to the site of infection or injury? To do so, they must crawl swiftly along the lining of the blood vessel – gripping it tightly to avoid being swept away in the blood flow – all the while searching for temporary ‘road signs’ made of special adhesion molecules that let them know where to cross the blood vessel barrier so they can get to the damaged tissue.
