Giant Cosmic Space Clouds of Beer. Every now and then you hear something which grabs your attention. This captured my attention: There is a cloud of alcohol (ethyl alcohol – the happy juice found in beer, wine, and spirits) floating in space.
This isn’t a small cloud either. There is enough alcohol in this cloud to make fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. That is one hell of a keg party. That’s the good news. Imagine a whole space cloud filled with beer. The bad news is it is 10,000 light years away in the constellation of Aquila. Space alcohol was discovered back in 1975 by Dr. Scientists theorize simpler compounds collect on bits of dust.
In the center of the cloud is a young and very drunk star (not Paris Hilton). I am a avid homebrewer and winemaker. . © 2009 – 2012, fermentarium.

Gubs. Charles Wenzel August 5, 2005 Gubs are those round, black spots you see on the pavement and sidewalks outside most public establishments, especially gas stations and restaurants. You may have seen thousands of them but never realized what they are or even noticed them. Once you do, your world will never be as clean; some establishments have thousands of gubs on the ground in the immediate vicinity of the door. Gubs are discarded wads of gum that have become flattened and blackened by car tires, shoes, and blowing dirt. Almost every building has hundreds of them around the entrances and even private, low traffic businesses will have a few.
Birth of a Gub Although every stretch of pavement or concrete has gubs and the total number of gubs must be in the high millions, it is surprisingly difficult to catch one being created. Gub Statistics Gub Life Cycle The gub's life cycle has not been studied in any great detail and most knowledge is inferred. Gub Evolution The Future of the Gub.
Butterfly wings feel the heat › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Monday, 13 February 2012 Stuart GaryABC Lepidoptric imaging Scientists are using a five million year old design to make a better infrared detector. Dr Radislav Potyrailo and colleagues at General Electric in the United States are copying the microscopic structures found on the scales of butterfly wings to develop new technology with medical, industrial and military applications. Reporting in the journal Nature Photonics, Potyrailo and colleagues examined the iridescent colours produced by the wings of the tropical Morpho sulkowskyi butterfly, found in Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. The morpho genus of butterflies first appeared five million years ago. "The complex geometry of these 125 nanometre sized tree-shaped structures causes light to bounce around resulting in multi-layer interference patterns," Potyrailo says.
"The infrared radiation causes the nanostructures to heat up and expand and to a lesser degree change its refractive index," says Potyrailo. A better detector.

Scope.swf (application/x-shockwave-flash Object) Primates as prey, predators, competitors of snakes. Photo by J. Headland/Courtesy of PNAS Reticulated python shot by Kekek Aduanan, the adult male Agta on the right, on June 9, 1970, at the headwaters of the Koso River in the Sierra Madre of Aurora Province, Luzon, Philippines. Note the snake's girth and head size relative to the size of the men holding her carcass. More than a quarter of the men in a modern Filipino hunter-gatherer group have been attacked by giant pythons, reports a study that also concludes that humans and snakes not only eat and are eaten by each other, but have long been competitors for the same prey. Skin of the same python as above after the two hunters and Headland butchered it, thereby providing about 55 pounds of meat to the men's families and fellow group members. Human aversion to snakes may be a result of a shared evolutionary history, researchers have often speculated, but since snakes swallow their prey whole, little fossil evidence remains to help define the relationship between snakes and primates.
Dub :: Project :: VoiceDraw. Your Brain On Psilocybin Might Be Less Depressed : Shots - Health Blog. Hide captionThis could be your forest on psilocybin. Baxterclaus/Flickr This could be your forest on psilocybin. Magic mushrooms are said to blow your mind, but the hallucinogenic chemical psilocybin, the active ingredient, actually reins in key parts of the brain, according to two new studies. The memorably vivid emotional experiences reported by mushroom users may flourish because the parts of the brain suppressed by psilocybin usually keep our world view tidy and rational.
And since the brain area affected by psilocybin can also be out of whack in mental health problems such as depression, the researchers speculate that the drug may turn out to be useful in treating mental illness. "The brain's doing a lot to keep our experiences of the world orderly and constrained," says Robin Carhart-Harris, a post-doc in neuroscience at Imperial College London, and lead author of the studies. The studies are among the first to use brain imaging to take a peek at the brain on psilocybin. UCB Physics Lecture Demonstrations. Animal Sleep. Most animals have a daily pattern of rest and activity. Some animals are more active during the day (diurnal) and some are more active during the night (nocturnal).
How much time do animals spend sleeping? Well, it depends on the animal: References: This table was adapted from four sources: Aserinsky, E., Eyelid condition at birth: relationship to adult mammalian sleep-waking patterns, In Rapid Eye Movement Sleep, edited by B.N. Drugs. Want to See Every Tree in America? Fish mimics octopus that mimics fish. Nature's game of intimidation and imitation comes full circle in the waters of Indonesia, where scientists have recorded for the first time an association between the black-marble jawfish (Stalix cf. histrio) and the mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus). Undescribed by scientists until 1998, the talented mimic octopus is known to impersonate toxic flatfish, lionfish, and even sea snakes by creatively configuring its limbs, adopting characteristic undulating movements, and displaying bold brown-and-white color patterns.
Thanks to these brazen habits, it can swim in the open with relatively little fear of predators. The jawfish, on the other hand, is a small and timid fish. It spends most of its adult life close to a sand burrow, where it will quickly retreat upon sighting a predator. During a diving trip in Indonesia in July 2011, Godehard Kopp of the University of Gottingen, Germany, filmed an unexpected pairing between the two animals. Explore the Abyss. Glow-in-the-dark mushroom rediscovered after 170 years. It's something you would never expect to go missing, but one of the world's brightest glow-in-the-dark mushrooms has been rediscovered after an absence of more than 170 years, according to USA Today.
The bioluminescent shrooms had become a Brazilian legend of sorts. They were first spied in 1840 by an English botanist named George Gardner, who was alarmed after he saw some boys playing with a glowing object in the streets of Vila de Natividad, a village in the Goiás state in central Brazil. After that, no more sightings of the brightly glowing fungus had ever been reported. The mushroom was nearly forgotten until 2002, when Brazilian chemist Cassius Stevani came across Gardner's early reports. Then, in 2005, a breakthrough occurred.
Izar and Fragaszy scooped up specimens and contacted Stevani, who later confirmed that the mushrooms were indeed Gardner's long lost species. The findings are what led to this month's paper in the journal Mycologia. Faster-than-light neutrinos could be proof of extra dimensions. Similarly, how can I get my ice cream scoops to jump between flavours and manipulate them? Because my wife is always buying Chocolate, but I prefer Strawberry and would like it to be in the shape of a bunny rabbit. Three main issues I see with that. First, neutrinos fluctuate seemingly at random. The type is also created at random. So that's the big if you mentioned. Second, the only way we know of to create neutrinos is through nuclear fusion, very high energy particle collisions (such as those caused by cosmic rays or in a particle accelerator), or radioactive decay. Finally, detecting neutrinos is very difficult.
On a planetary scale fiber optics work fine. There are times I wish I were a physicist. I am no expert but that doesn't sound right. Human-Body-Facts-2-copy.jpg (JPEG Image, 620x8050 pixels) Chronology of Events in Science, Mathematics, and Technology. Alcubierre Warp Drive Time Travel.
An Alcubierre Warp Drive stretches spacetime in a wave causing the fabric of space ahead of a spacecraft to contract and the space behind it to expand. The ship can ride the wave to accelerate to high speeds and time travel. The Alcubierre drive, also known as the Alcubierre metric or Warp Drive, is a mathematical model of a spacetime exhibiting features reminiscent of the fictional "warp drive" from Star Trek, which can travel "faster than light" (although not in a local sense - see below).
The key characteristics of the application of Alcubierre warp drives for time control and time travel are presented in the picture below. This is followed by more detail describing the effect below. Alcubierre Warp Drive Description In 1994, the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a method of stretching space in a wave which would in theory cause the fabric of space ahead of a spacecraft to contract and the space behind it to expand. Alcubierre Metric Mathematics of the Alcubierre drive.
