Robert Hooke's Micrographia. Watch all movies online for FREE. The Ten Best Horror Movies You Haven’t Seen. October means Halloween, and Halloween means horror, and horror? Well that means some damn good movies. I presume many of you are searching for a good horror flick to curl up with this month, and while I will advise you to first consult my 10 Best Horror Films of Decade list, I thought I’d compile a new one made up of films that aren’t quite as widely known.

Yes, I love The Ring, The Orphanage and The Descent, but there are smaller, more niche movies that are deserving of your attention, and really, once you’ve been scared or grossed out once, it’s not quite the same if you watch the same film again. Here are some new titles that some of you may have seen, but I predict most of you will have not. You may think a few of them suck, and I’ll admit they’re not without their flaws, but if you’re looking for a few decent horror films, you could do a lot worse than these. 10. The Floor is Lava.

Black holes punching through stars may solve dark matter. Black holes punching through stars may solve dark matter KEITH COOPERASTRONOMY NOWPosted: 22 September 2011 If mysterious dark matter is made up of mini black holes formed in the first moments after the big bang, then it may be possible to test this theory and detect these black holes as they collide with stars, argue two postdoctoral researchers from the United States.

Black holes punching through stars may solve dark matter

Tantalisingly, there is a slim possibility we may have already detected them and we just haven’t realised, the evidence sitting in a data archive somewhere, waiting to be unearthed. Dark matter has been a puzzle at the forefront of cosmology since the 1970s, when Vera Rubin and Kent Ford built on observations made by Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s that galaxies on the outskirts of clusters were moving faster than the gravity from the observed matter within the clusters should dictate. It seemed something else was there, invisible but massive. Could tiny black holes explain dark matter? Funny Pictures, Images & Really Very Funny Pics. Cute animals videos too.

Perception puzzles, Visual Perception, Optical illusions and Paradoxes

The components of an object can distort the perception of the complete object. Our mind is the final arbiter of truth. Most optical illusions are the result of 1) incongruent design elements at opposite ends of parallel lines, 2) influence of background patterns on the overall design, 3) adjustment of our perception at the boundaries of areas of high contrast, 4) afterimages resulting from eye movements or from kinetic displays, or 5) inability to interpret the spatial structure of an object from the context provided by the picture. The Parthenon Optical illusions have been studied for millenia.
