Here’s a cool calculator that lets you convert many different units for the speed of light, and here’s a relativity calculator, in case you wanted to travel nearly the speed of light. We have recorded an episode of Astronomy Cast which answers many questions about the speed of light and relativity. Tagged as: speed of light

Coolest army! Military Five-Star generals going nuts! George Dawe was an English portrait artist who painted 329 portraits of Russian generals active during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Replace Face is an awesome Tumblr, he uses digital copies of these paintings as a basis for his own work which involves incorporating his friends, family and even some celebrities into the paintings using photoshop. “One thing I’ve always wanted to try (I have a list) is to incorporate someone into a painting, mimicking the painterly brush strokes and making everything fit and work nicely and look natural and stuff. There’s an art to head swapping, I’ve seen so many awful attempts. Yes Sir, No Sir! A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Like this: Like Loading...
The pyramids are the key to the discovery of time travel I have discovered the secret to time travel. I'm sure that the ancients were visited by these time travelers. Quezacoatl, Thoth, Lucifer, Fallen angels, Greek gods all the very same timetravelers. Most claimed to return in the future. I believe they were talking about their births. The planets in our solar system are all one planet evolving in time! The inner planets are all the same composition, iron, rock, etc. Mars used to have water, magnetic field, tectonic activity, carbonate rocks, possibly life, and pyramids in the same formation as egypt and mexico, JUST LIKE EARTH! I believe that an impact to Earth will at the same time transform Venus into a life sustaining planet, and transform Earth into an uninhabitable planet Mars. In 2012 there will be a transit of Venus. Now let's look at the gas planets. Saturn which is smaller than Jupiter has rings of debris and gases orbiting around the planet. Uranus has fewer rings then Saturn, and Neptune has even fewer rings then Uranus.

Legalizing Marijuana Could Reduce Its Energy Consumption 75% photo: Stay Faded/Creative Commons When we found out a couple week ago that the marijuana industry is responsible for 1% of all US electricity consumption, the first and perhaps obvious big question that popped to my mind was how would that figure change if pot was legalized? Surely the electricity bill is so high in part because of the necessity of indoor grow operations to avoid detection. Well, as the infographic excerpted below shows, legalization of pot would indeed radically slash the energy footprint of the marijuana industry: As the full original infographic, touts: The carbon footprint of covert cannabis production might also be easily offset by the energy used to enforce the laws against it--electricity for the some 60,000 inmates in prison on marijuana related charges at any time, and the fuel for the police cruisers that brought in the offenders, among other things... A few other things:
Single dose of hallucinogen may create lasting personality change Thursday, September 29, 2011 Psilocybn A single high dose of the hallucinogen psilocybin, the active ingredient in so-called "magic mushrooms," was enough to bring about a measureable personality change lasting at least a year in nearly 60 percent of the 51 participants in a new study, according to the Johns Hopkins researchers who conducted it. Lasting change was found in the part of the personality known as openness, which includes traits related to imagination, aesthetics, feelings, abstract ideas and general broad-mindedness. Changes in these traits, measured on a widely used and scientifically validated personality inventory, were larger in magnitude than changes typically observed in healthy adults over decades of life experiences, the scientists say. "Normally, if anything, openness tends to decrease as people get older," says study leader Roland R. The study participants completed two to five eight-hour drug sessions, with consecutive sessions separated by at least three weeks.

Psychadellivision by ~Volcanic-Penguin on deviantART List of misconceptions about illegal drugs LSD[edit] Some of the strangest urban legends told are those about lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a potent psychedelic drug that gained popularity in several countries in the 1960s and 1970s, and experienced a brief resurgence in the mid to late 1990s before declining from 2000 onward. The drug's relation to the 1960s counterculture was likely part of the reason for such legends. Attempted murder[edit] "Anyone caught selling LSD can be charged with attempted murder." This is a common urban legend that the psychotropic effect of LSD is such an extreme danger to human life that the seller could face charges of attempted murder or manslaughter. Babysitter places baby in the oven while high on LSD[edit] This is an unverifiable drug-scare story dating to the 60s of a hippie babysitter girl putting a baby in the oven and a turkey in the bassinet. Bad LSD[edit] A "bad trip" is easily caused by an expectation or fear of ill effects, which may later be blamed on "bad acid." "Bananadine" LSD[edit]
