Swarm Theory I used to think ants knew what they were doing. The ones marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident, I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, stage epic raids, and do all the other things ants do? Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren't clever little engineers, architects, or warriors after all—at least not as individuals. How do we explain, then, the success of Earth's 12,000 or so known ant species? "Ants aren't smart," Gordon says. Where this intelligence comes from raises a fundamental question in nature: How do the simple actions of individuals add up to the complex behavior of a group? One key to an ant colony, for example, is that no one's in charge.

We Showed 'Troll Physics' Comics to a Physics Professor. Here's His Reaction. Is it possible to "troll" the very laws of matter and motion that govern the universe for your own kinetic benefit? For example, can one survive a falling elevator by jumping up in the air at the last minute? Also, f*cking electromagnetism - how does it work? If you've pondered any of those questions before, the blog Troll Physics offers incredibly simple but impossible "hacks" for manipulating the laws of nature to yield infinite energy, money and/or sexual partners. Since this site is pretty much a physics teacher's worst nightmare, I cornered one to get his reaction. David Morgan, a natural science professor with a PhD in physics, was kind enough to bring some logic and rational discourse to this hilariously asinine pile of hot meme trash. DM: "Up" is not "North"...the only reasonable meaning for the word "up" is "in the opposite direction of the Earth's gravitational pull at the surface." DM: You don't really need a guy with a PhD to explain to you that bacon isn't a plant, right?
Color Psychology by David Johnson Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. Black Black is the color of authority and power. White Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. Red The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Blue The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. Green Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. Yellow Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. Purple The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. Brown Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Colors of the Flag In the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Food for Thought While blue is one of the most popular colors it is one of the least appetizing.

Bamboo Machine Setting up the "symbiosis" machine in the botanical garden´s tropical greenhouse. The "simbiosis" machine was built for the exhibition "Natürlich" (natural) that was shown in the public greenhouses of Hamburg´s botanical garden in 2009. I was always fascinated by the immense forces hidden in nature like small shoots cracking massive concrete and roots lifting up sidewalks. While looking for a way to make these slow but powerful processes perceptible I read about the growth rate of bamboo: In the tropics it grows up to 1.5 meters a day while having it´s final diameter right from the beginning. Therefore bamboo seemed to be the perfect energy source for a mechanical object. By limiting the machine´s functions to pumping water towards the bamboo the "symbiosis" also suggests a beneficial coexistence of nature and machines: We could try to find more sensitive ways to harvest the energy that is already there instead of just cutting plants down and burning them as fuel.
