Anti-Gravity Propulsion System?

February 16th 2006 21:51
An 'antigravity' propulsion system was proposed at the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque on Febuary 14 by Dr. Franklin Felber. His new exact solution to Einstein's gravitational field equation gives hope to space enthusiasts that it might be possible to accelerate space craft to speeds approaching that of light without crushing the contents of the craft.

February 13th 2006 05:22

Scientific American Podcasts

February 13th 2006 05:11
The Scientific American is now offering weekly podcasts with all the latest science news. The first one "reflects on the Korean stem cell debacle; the National Inventors Hall of Fame announces this year's inductees; and evolution defender Eugenie Scott discusses the importance of the decision in the recent Dover evolution trial. Also: hear outtakes from the CSI show you're never going to see on TV". I love the net.

Dumb Crim

Do I have editorial standards? of course. Nothing like a good stupid crook story: This guy broke into someone's house to steal lots of stuff but while he was there decided to check his email and then forgot to log-off.

Chain Reaction in a video game

February 10th 2006 04:46
This really appeals to the geek in me: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8926325136071596338&q=
Not just the fact that someone spent so much time setting the whole thing up -- but the fact that the physics in the games are good enough to support it.
