Destroy da corns!



A driver who was high on cocaine destroyed an entire cornfield in an attempt to escape from the police.

Four police cars were destroyed before the 35-year-old crashed into a ditch and was arrested, near the village of Dussen in the south of the Netherlands.

an international team has discovered that under the right conditions, particles of inorganic dust can become organised into helical structures. These structures can then interact with each other in ways that are usually associated with organic compounds and life itself.

Physicists of the DZero experiment at Fermilab have discovered a new heavy particle, the Ξb (pronounced "zigh sub b") baryon.

eu incep sa am sentimentul ca nu facem bine ceva. sigur nu cautam unde trebuie sau ceva ca prea isi fac de cap quarci astia.
Nu sunt singurul care crede asta.
Dennis Overbye si-a pus in cap o gramada de ochelaristi cu:
We need to talk about the “God particle.
Bine, nici daca o arzi pe intelligent design nu e bine ca dai in misticism

Dar pur si simplu nu mai stii ce sa crezi, in momentul in care cele mai mari minti ale planetei vin si zic: "The newly discovered cascade is made of a down, a strange and a bottom quark. It is the first observed baryon formed of quarks from all three families of matter. After independently gathering and analyzing data from Fermilab's Tevatron collider for more than six years, the two Fermilab collider experiments reported the results of the their search for the cascade b baryon within days of each other."

Pai stati fratilor un pic. chiar asa repede am stabilit ce si cum?
Si cu universul ca o holograma cum ramane? (sa puna img link-ul ca nu-l mai am)

Singura concluzie la care am reusit sa ajung este ca noi in momentul de fata s-ar putea sa fim intr-un fel de moment pre-Copernic asa si nu este exclus deloc sa vina unu la un moment dat sa dovedeasca ca cel mai scump research din lume de fapt nu ajuta la nimic si ca de fapt altundeva sta raspunsul.

it's madness i tell you, madness.

later edit:
poftim exact ce va ziceam:
Specifically, the Higgs boson, the most elusive speck of matter in the universe. Often called the God particle, it's supposed to be the key to explaining why matter has mass. Physicists believe that Higgs particles generate a kind of soupy ether through which other particles move, picking up drag that translates into mass on the macroscopic scale. The Higgs is the cornerstone of 21st-century physics; it simply has to be there, otherwise the standard model of the universe collapses.

Selecţionerul Japoniei a convocat doar 12 jucători pentru amicalul cu Camerun, după ce, la Cupa Asiei, înjurase în vestiar de l-a făcut pe translator să plîngă. Japonezii se freacă la ochii şi nu le vine să creadă ce selecţioner şi-au găsit pentru a-l înlocui pe brazilianul Zico. N-a trecut o lună de la Cupa Asiei şi Ivica Osim, altfel un tehnician reputat, i-a lăsat din nou mască. Atitudinea sa i-a pus în mare dificultate pe şefii federaţiei nipone. Mai ales în faţa presei, care le reproşează c-au adus în fruntea echipei reprezentative "un lunatic". Jurnaliştii au în vedere inclusiv episodul de la finalul meciului cu sud-coreenii (0-0, 5-6 la penalty-uri), disputat în iulie, la Cupa Asiei. Atunci, Osim şi-a înjurat în aşa hal jucătorii încît omul însărcinat să le traducă acestora a izbucnit în lacrimi.

Authorities in southern China are installing 20,000 (or more) police surveillance cameras, managed by software from an American-financed company. That spying system is designed to automatically recognize faces of criminal suspects, and spot potential crimes. And citizens of Shenzhen (pop: 12.4 million) will soon be required to carry computer-chipped residency cards programmed by that same company. Data on the chip will include not just the citizen’s name and address but also work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord’s phone number. Even personal reproductive history will be included, for enforcement of China’s controversial “one child” policy. Plans are being studied to add credit histories, subway travel payments and small purchases charged to the card. [via Boing]

Lux

"Revista Newsweek (2-9 iulie 2007) a aflat că în locuri cum sînt Kazahstanul, Des Moines sau Oslo, piaţa mărfurilor de lux freamătă. În noua industrie a luxului contează foarte mult surprizele, ceea ce a dus la o reorientare a şcolilor de pregătire de valeţi, femei de serviciu, bucătari etc. Dar cartea îşi păstrează prestigiul ei: compania Myspecialbook.com, iniţiată în urmă cu cîţiva ani de nişte argentinieni bogaţi, oferă într-un singur exemplar biografia cumpărătorului într-o ediţie de lux, cu citate, fotografii, scrisori de la admiratori, impresii şi povestiri ale prietenilor. Recent, un miliardar a izbucnit în lacrimi cînd şi-a văzut cadoul: „E istoria vieţii tale, povestită de oamenii care te iubesc. Poţi să-ţi imaginezi ceva mai personal? Asta înseamnă lux!“."

cerveau electrique


Dr. Strangelove, here's the answer to your prayers:

Brains are electric — when neurons talk, they speak in voltage. Now, a new technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation may let neuroscientists hack those conversations. TMS translates electric signals into a magnetic field that passes through the skull and into the brain. Too much juice can cause seizures, but calibrate the machine just right and you can actually control brain activity. Treatments for drug-resistant depression, migraines, and post-traumatic stress disorder are in the offing. Further out, some researchers are trying to trigger more restful power naps, and others are working with autistic savants, hoping to inhibit the autism and bring forward the Rain Man level detail processing. That's right: We could all be perpetually happy, relaxed, and brilliant if they'd just mount this thing in a baseball cap.

"Poliţia din Palermo a descoperit luna trecută corpul neînsufleţit, cu o gaură de glonţ în piept, al lui Nicola Ingarao, reputatul lider al clanului mafiot Porta Nuova. Spre stupoarea lor, anchetatorii au aflat că, în urmă cu o zi, acesta trecuse examenul de filozofie de la universitatea din oraş, cu un rezultat excelent. Profesorul său, Pietro Di Giovanni, l-a descris ca pe un om manierat, foarte activ, ca orice adult care s-a decis tîrziu să-şi completeze studiile. Ingarao a optat pentru filozofie după ce, în închisoare, unde îşi făcea condamnarea de nouă ani, citise cu atenţie Biblia. S-a înscris la Universitate încă fiind în puşcărie şi a început s-o frecventeze imediat după eliberare, în februarie."

Germany

[...]Analistii spun ca sistemul birocrat al tarii ar putea impiedica orice tentativa de a modifica legea impozitelor. Peste 10% din legile Germaniei fac referire la sistemul de impozitare. In total, exista 118 legi, 185 de formulare, 418 exceptii si 96.000 de reguli in acest domeniu, iar un singur comentariu legal pe marginea impozitelor se intinde pe 2.671 de pagini. Intregul regulament din acest sector are 28.000 de pagini, iar mentinerea in functiune a sistemului birocratic costa Germania 23,7 miliarde de euro anual. In aceste conditii, sansele de modificare a legii impozitelor sint practic nule.
