Explore the links: Doc was a "Trekkie," and the embed at the Trekkie link is a speech never quoted in the media. His courage and sacrifice allowed us all to "live long, and prosper." I was a freshman at NC A&T State University when this song dropped:
Something to Brighten Your Day: Nuff said. Grins and giggles, and you might learn some Calculus out of the deal.
Theory: it's a word that's confused with uninvestigated opinion, so politically if one doesn't want to accept the implications of Evolution or Global Warming, "theory" is supposed to disqualify any further discussions.
From Wikipedia:
"Social Darwinism is a term commonly used for theories of society that emerged in England and the United States in the 1870s, seeking to apply the principles of Darwinian evolution to sociology and politics.[1] It especially refers to notions of struggle for existence being used to justify social policies which make no distinction between those able to support themselves and those unable to support themselves. The most prominent form of such views stressed competition between individuals in laissez-faire capitalism but it is also connected to the ideas of eugenics, scientific racism, imperialism,[2] fascism, Nazism and struggle between national or racial groups."
I get that, and chiefly as a member of a group that's been used on, identify with the concern. However, with global warming there will come a point where there's "no turning back" and no starships to Exodus us to the stars.
The Bible has also been twisted to justify slavery as well as a perpetual curse of servitude. Mainstream Mormonism has since repudiated the notion of lighter skin being a sign that you did something right in the pre-existence during the war in heaven, and dark skin, well...we were "neutral"; we did not pick sides, our skin a sign of "the curse" (Mormon eschatology). Before the 2008 presidential elections, a friend forwarded a photo from England of an American riding a Harley. On the back of his T-shirt, this statement: "N----r please! It's the WHITE HOUSE!"
Any dominate group that wants to remain dominant latches on to the most convienient theory that justifies their already set opinions of themselves. It is a pathology that self-esteem is only justified by another groups subjugation and misery.
Pythagoras would have a time today!
Neutrinos are known to exist, but no one at this time knows how much a "neutrino mass" is. They are similar to the electron, yet don't carry an electrical charge (i.e. "neutral").
I admit that I’m an art slut. If a stunning work of art is set before me, I’m instantly distracted. The same goes for erotic art. ^_^ Every now and then I come across a piece that inspires me to write a story. Swing by and check it out. Be warned, it’s erotic art that has explicit material. Enter with caution. http://yvonnenicolas.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/inspired-by-art-1-insatiable-xxx/
It's about the Tuskegee Airmen, and Hollywood thinks it's not "green" enough, meaning...well, see what George Lucas has to say about it:
Ohm's law still applies: at the nano-scale level. The presumption was that quantum effects would take precident. I still think it will the smaller the technology gets and the more we demand of it. Meaning, we'll need some "replacements" as the nerd workforce ages. More kids need sci-fi to inspire them.
It's not too hard to extrapolate Xray vision, or at least how such a "super power" could work. "We have the technology..."
Terrahertz radiation, the dream of most pre pubescent and pubescent boys:
Outside of a Memphis, Tennessee courthouse, a shoeshine stand acquired one of its regular customers. Three elevated chairs were available, the patron took the middle seat. Looking up at the middle-aged Fats Domino-like man in need of service, a slender white teenager, who wore a blond crew cut, greeted the gent. Unsullied was the milky suit of the customer. However, the shoeshine boy’s grey t-shirt, blue jeans and blue tennis shoes had dirt smudges.
“Summer in the South is worse than a grill at full blast, especially this time of the day. At twelve noon, no divine hand is goin’ to adjust the charcoal grill’s temperature. Nothing is goin’ to be exempt from this great Clambake. What’s wrong with you, Elvis Aaron Presley? You’re workin’ like some King Creole. Wake up, boy, it’s August 16th, 1977 in America.” The customer placed his newspaper on an empty seat to the right of him.
“Hello there, Colonel P, I-I-I was rememberin’ this here dream I had about a night ago. It’s got me “All Shook Up.” While recalling and discussing the dream, the boy stopped polishing the large black man’s White Bucks.
“Go on and tell me about it, but don’t get so distracted that you forget what you’re doin’. I do declare, son, somethin’ made you Girl Happy.”
“Uh-huh, yes, sir.” Upon realizing that he was neglecting his work, the boy proceeded to polish the shoes. “Well, it’s like this, in my dream, I became this big music star loved by millions. Oh, yeah and the President of the United States gave me a law badge and shook my hand.”
“You got to be joshin’. Next you’re gonna tell me that you was rich. Plus you had long greasy hair and you was wigglin’ like a red light hoochie coochie mama.”
“I-I-I don’t rightly recollect.”
“That’s got to be the biggest fool dream that I ever heard about in my whole black life.”
The portly man began to laugh hard. Disturbed by the thunderous guffaw, pedestrians looked over to find the reason for the amusement.
“I-I-I know, Colonel, I know it was a weird dream.”
“Perhaps you were famous in another life. And as some kind of punishment for something you said or did, you were given your present life in Hell.”
“Ain’t I still in Memphis, sir?”
“Forget it, son. You got to be the craziest redneck that I’ve ever seen, but you sure are the best shoeshine boy in the South. You know how to make a brother’s shoes out gleam stars.”
“Thank you, thank you very much.”

More on the Higgs Boson. If at first you don't succeed...
WHAT IS THIS?
This is something I've wanted to do for some
time and, as usual, don't have enough cash to
pay anyone to do for me. I don't like waiting
for other people to come around and I really
don't like begging people for favors so....
THE ABOVE IS TWO THINGS.
1) it's the first segment of the first episode
of the DREAMNASIUM web series which
will be debuting this year. Each episode will
be done in different formats so, while this is
the first look, it's not representative of
everything that will come. Not hardly.
THINGS ARE HAPPENING, IS THE POINT.
2) it's the animated adaptation of an existing
comic I did some years ago so, if you want to
know the rest of the story and don't want to wait,
SEE BELOW:
I'm not kidding this year.
I'm really, really not.

Now available at Amazon, SHADOWS & DUST, a gothic horror story and an extended tale to the Dragon Queen Series.
What would you sacrifice to get rid of the creatures beyond the madness?
When darkness falls, Vampire Huntress Joan “Havoc” Dawson and her team gears up and steps out to meet the evil as it threatens to spill onto the streets of mankind.
On the second anniversary of her sister’s death, Havoc finds herself lured into a rundown neighborhood by an unknown entity. She stumbles upon a dark secret, one that’s guaranteed to claim many innocent lives.
But in order to destroy the creature behind the madness, Havoc may have to surrender her soul to the darkness.

Nobel From Space: apparently, the quazicrystal that garnered Daniel Shechtman of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa last year's Nobel prize in chemistry is of extraterrestrial origin. A meteor this time, and not little green men...:-)
