When will they start teaching Quantum Levitation in schools
Apparently I have good genes and would be a better choice for females to produce offspring with.
US Supreme court says human DNA cannot be patented
I think itâs quite digusting that a corporation actually thought they could get away with this.
Future Foresees Eyes In the Back of Your Head
After building the product for Huffington Post, and owning the product and engineering groups at AOL after we were acquired, it was clear to me there was a huge gap between what the current CMS offering gave the world and what the world needed. Five...
Having eyes in the back of oneâs head has long been the threat of mothers everywhere. But for future generations, that ability may become real. Not only could we have eyes in the back of our head, we could have them on our arms, our shoulders -â even our derrières.
For the first time ever, scientists have shown that eyes transplanted far outside the head in a vertebrate animal were capable of âseeing,â despite having no direct neural connection to the brain.
Woah
What would happen if Superman punched you in the face

Since weâre on the topic of Monsanto and soil, the chief mechanical engineer in my department used to work in a facility next door to Monsanto and apparently they used to dump bad batches of Agent Orange in ditches or the like. He also mentioned that because of the vapors or something like that, his safety glasses would start to pit because apparently some of their crap is gaseously volatile.
Not only them, but apparently many companies back in the days used to do that so yay EPA!
Most of the time itâs not the companies that condone this sort of behavior but rather the people working in the facilities. Itâs a lot easier to just dump toxic substances than to go through the official channels of doing so. Not to mention, itâs still pretty prevalent and youâd be surprised at how many people just donât know any better.
This is actually extremely important and iâm glad the supreme court said no.

New Speed Record Shows Future Potential of Electric Cars
Drayson Racing Technologies has broken the world land speed record for a lightweight electric car.
Its Lola B12 69/EV vehicle hit a top speed of 204.2mph (328.6km/h) at a racetrack at RAF Elvington in Yorkshire.
Chief executive Lord Drayson, who drove the car to the record, told the BBC he was delighted to have set the world record in Britain and it shows âwhat the future potential of electric cars is.â

i plan on getting an EV once they become more practical for road trips
imo Rimac is still the hotness though
A Neuroscientist Says Human Head Transplants Are Totally Possible
Gonna be one major mind fuck when your entire body moves out of synch.
Excellent, the world of Ghost in the Shell is closer every day.
Scientists have successfully done it to monkeys before.
The monkeys were not amused.
You wonât need to go to 7-eleven after this vid.
So it may not have left the solar system yet, but its getting close
Not content with simply being the man-made object to travel farthest from Earth, NASAâs Voyager 1 spacecraft recently entered a bizarre new region at the solar systemâs edge that has physicists baffled. Their theories donât predict anything like it.
Launched 36 years ago, Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 made an unprecedented tour of the outer planets, returning spectacular data from their journey. The first Voyager sped out of the solar system in 1980 and it has since been edging closer and closer to interstellar space. The probe is currently out more than 120 times the distance between the Earth and the sun.
Scientists initially thought that Voyagerâs transition into this new realm, where effects from the rest of the galaxy become more pronounced, would be gradual and unexciting. But itâs proven to be far more complicated than anything researchers had imagined, with the spacecraft now encountering a strange region that scientists are struggling to make sense of.
âThe models that have been thought to predict what should happen are all incorrect,â said physicist Stamatios Krimigis of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, who is lead author of one of three new papers on Voyager appearing in Science on June 27. âWe essentially have absolutely no reliable roadmap of what to expect at this point.â
âŚ
âBut it could happen any day,â he added. âWe donât have a model to tell us that.â Even then, Stone said, Voyager would not have really left the solar system but merely the region where the solar wind dominates.
For his part, Krimigis didnât even want to speculate on what Voyager might encounter next because theoristsâ models have so far not worked extremely well.
âIâm convinced that nature is far more imaginative than we are,â he said.
