    But, can it eat a plane?

    But, can it eat the moon?

    Science for Jugaloos. I admit, I was not aware of the Miracles video before I read this article, but I was aware of some of the previous stupidity of ICP.

    Science!

    It's the same ear trick Holly posted with a different target, and there are more studies finding stuff to do this with too- it needs a catchy name like stemregenerimplantosurgery

    So my new overbosses at the antique and rare book dealers where I consult keep making me tofu, which, while very nice of them, made me remember that there was some bad tofu press on testosterone and men's health last decade based around the deleterous effects of soy products- looking for an update to this research it seems we now have

    this

    and on the other hand

    this (with thankfully less side-banner)

    While it is true that most of the anti-soy writing on the internet does seem to come from Enig and homies, a lot of this debate seems to echo the high-fructose corn syrup problems of our country, and behold soy is the number two crop in Iowa right after corn, a food additive with a large lobbying effort behind it and a cognitive-dissonance prone public support structure composed mostly of hyper-vegetarians (as Syd Bamuel seems to be if one looks at his personal page). Tha being said, animal fat obsessed Philedelphia dentists are not the basis of healthy diet information either... the meta-reviews seem in short supply when compared to somewhat unqualified health writers, and while there is some meta-support as mentioned, the results going through the Pubmed archive as I have been doing the last hour are somewhat statiscally unsatisfactory in the different attempts by researchers to correleate soy protein with the prevention of cancers, etc. but clearly if the phytoestrogens demethylate GSTP1 and EPHB2 promoter regions THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING. The something may be both good and bad though, perhaps instead I should be worrying more about this problem. Please post up info. if you come across something new and more definitive on soy!

    I'm sure Dave is flashing back to our argument in D. C. about Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and shaking his head.

    Unambiguous dietary news: dietary supplements are crazy shit

    also fructose has now been shown to directly fuel certain kinds of cancer, which is yet another reason for high-fructose corn syrup avoidance.

    China has a new destroyer-missile, likely fashioned with the help of stolen American guidance system and propulsion technologies, but the aircraft carrier has been acknowledged for decades, probably before I was even born in fact, to be an untenable strategic assault platform. They are very symbolic of American power, but in reality submarine technology and long distance, high atmosphere fliers ended their usefulness and relevance a long time ago, if we can believe capability disclosures this in no way effects American offensive strategy, but provides political grist the same way "the bomber gap" did during the cold war. Fanfics are not proof to the contrary.

    I'll admit that it may not be the unlikeliest person for this to happen to:


    but our chapter of Cafe Scientifique will never be the same if he has to retire! Please remember: Concentrated heat and static buildup are not good when transporting large amounts of hydrogen.

    Psychological Resiliance linked to recovery rates and pain tolerance?

    Sadly one has to pay $31 to check if they canceled for things like access to state assistance for health care in higher-adversity levels, or attempted to graph the population frequency of high and low levels of adversity since a wider population of low-levelers would have increased chance (presumably) of the occasional wolverine-mutant healer. My hunch is NO! Also I am aware of no study linking a person's mental toughness and the amount of hardship they have had to endure. Resilience is more of an unaccountable discrepancy in abuse cases, no obvious function describes it.

    Still IMO this is moral justification for scaring children this Halloween to the point of severe trauma.

    Why are the Russians even running a Mars Isolation Sim. again (as mentioned in the last page)?

    Oh yeah, cosmonauts flipping out and going nuts

    the second page is what makes this article. Russians reputedly have superior brooding abilities but in fact only gamers in my opinion have the grit necessary to sit still in a room for several months without leaving without any psychological change, no one at NASA may figure this out for decades though :(

    The Cure for All Chemical Warfare Discovered

    REALITYFAIL

    How nice if it could work, but there are a wide variety of reformulation and targeting fixes around this approach, and also the side effects in humans of an enzyme that breaks down nerve chemicals... can also be used potentially as a terrible biological weapon! It will slow down the old stuff, but people sell the new stuff.

    E-mail from Einstein@Home:

    "For more than a year, Einstein@Home has been using about
    one-third of the available computer time to search for radio
    pulsars in data from the Arecibo Observatory. I'm happy to report
    that we found our first radio pulsar last month: PSR J2007+2722.
    It is still not sure, but this appears to be a rare type of object
    called a Disrupted Recycled Pulsar. The discovery was published
    on-line by the journal Science, on Thursday August 12th.

    Congratulations to our volunteers Chris and Helen Colvin (Ames, Iowa,
    USA) and Daniel Gebhardt (Universitaet Mainz, Musikinformatik, German),
    whose computers discovered the pulsar with the highest significance!"

    Ames? Bah!!!

    So, uh, what does this mean? Was this an alien search? Lay-speech please :smile:

    In English

    Pulsars are a type of star, discovered by a woman who got the credit stolen from her by a guy who took a number of prizes for the work, it was only later that they found that his grad student had made the big find. There is an alien search communitygrid too but since I run WorldCommunity for protein folding and other tasks I felt that overburdening my weak computer might be a bad move :-/

    The explanation for the radio pulses proved the existence of neutron stars, incredibly dense remains of massive collapsed stars.


    Oh I see :thumbup:

    The Born non-Identity

    ALSO Exercise makes you less hungry

    ALSO When E. O. Wilson was ranting about Altruism after I asked him something he was totally right, as usual

    ALSO I was just reading something interesting about Evariste Galois, a French mathematician in 1811 who (at least in popular legend) invented an entire field of mathematics, unsurprisingly named Galois Theory, the night before a duel that led to his death at the age of 20. I suspect that time travelers killed him off before he was able to keep going to stop the later invention of the nuclear scorpion laser shark

    Are you bored? Try digging up the mass unmarked graves of murdered ghostly Irishmen... with Science!

    ... maybe they put them out of their misery with a pickaxe... because they had cholera? It's quite a detailed story the guy was telling every Thanksgiving... hopefully that's not what happened to my missing Irish great great uncle! (Yes, the family history has some unexplained math in it)

    When the physicists chose to record the laser light emerging from one of the gates, then the light traversing that route, alone, ended up with deflection angles amplified by a factor of more than 100 in the intermediate measurement step. Somehow the later decision appeared to affect the outcome of the weak, intermediate measurements, even though they were made at an earlier time.

    This amazing result confirmed a similar finding reported a year earlier by physicists Onur Hosten and Paul Kwiat at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They had achieved an even larger laser amplification, by a factor of 10,000, when using weak measurements to detect a shift in a beam of polarized light moving between air and glass.


    THE FUTURE messes with laser differentiation levels... quantum physics makes me want to lay down sometimes
