Merry Christmas! Time for basketball.

Nerd Christmas Trees: Godzilla, Darth Vader et al. Happy Holidays! Of course, you knew I had to embed a 50-year review of Godzilla, didn't you?

Positronium is a form of antimatter: the post I've created does a far job of explaining the implications of this technology, which could have far reaching impact in communications down to your cell phone you may be viewing this post with.

Gnarls Barkley's 'Going On' video is simple but effective. I also like the video "Who's Going to Save My Soul' where the guys heart is literally ripped out. Creepy, but good. Cee Lo Green and Dangermouse are so under rated.

I don't think this is about death, but many seem to think that. Death isn't much of a journey. What's your take?

I am going through my second science fiction novel chapter by chapter with my writing partner. The experience has been very positive. The first positive is she understood what I was doing with race in the book. I am still struggling with the point of view. There are two main characters but only one voice. I have written the book from two points of view but it felt really awkward, so my latest version had just one. However, my partner suggests that I return to two points of view. My potential publisher also indicated that the second voice would be better for the African American market. Strong incentives. 

Vet creds: I was quite pleased the Air Force in Rome, NY is working on holographic sciences involving quantum computing and quantum teleportation.

Before you count solar out: scientists are working towards it being more efficient to manufacture and mass produce. Anything that can reduce our carbon footprint (ironic, since you kind of burn carbon to make solar), plus reduce our dependency on oil as a power source is forward-thinking I can appreciate.

Hi there friends. Here’s a short sensual tale with a little dark twist to whet your appetite. Comments are welcomed. Enjoy! http://yvonnenicolas.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/naked-and-wanting/

My blog on this is at redamygdala.wordpress.com

I detect a hint of frustration in detecting the Higgs Boson. Once called the "God Particle" by Leon Lederman, he's "using the Lord's name in vain" expressing his frustration on the amount of money being (and been) spent trying to find the theoretical particle that if discovered, will change the fundamental understanding of physics and the universe (especially String Theory), which a professor friend at UT Austin compared to: (ahem) bull excrement!

Basically, the Higgs Boson is supposed to posit why anything in the universe has mass (photons for example, have a rest mass of m₀ = 0, as in zip, nada).

Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson: when you see the PDF of the first chapter of a very short, remarkable book, you'll peek into a remarkable life. She was the first African American graduate of MIT, and is the president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. There are always "firsts": make sure you reach back so that it's not "only."

We all give ourselves time limits: there is "a time and a purpose under Heaven" according to Ecclesiastes (a pen name of Solomon). This examines the myth that anyoneed having not made a "discovery" before age thirty cannot possibly look forward to winning a Nobel Prize - science in particular, or literature especially. The article I post simply states it's not true, e.g., Octavia Butler started at 23; Issac Asimov at 38.

This is an embed of the chat concerning the Large Haydron Collider and its search for the so far elusive Higgs Boson. It will explain why mass has "mass." Mass/Stuff is a drag on the ability to on anything other than a photon (rest mass = 0) to go at the speed of light. This also lends itself to String Theory and other dimensions, so enjoy the information. Use it in your writing.

Einstein answering a question regarding his acumen at science, said God had allowed him born "as stubborn as a mule." The video from Ainissa Ramirez shows people of color exceling in the sciences - sister is a prof at Yale in Material Science!

The dilemma is the expected instantaneousness of any posed question. Google has sadly hindered our patience in problem-solving or storytelling. A student is more prone to say: "So...what's the answer?" versus "what's the next step?"

The quality of the question and the stubborness of the seeker determines the height of the outcome.

It’s that time of week again. :oD Ready to be flashed? http://yvonnenicolas.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/flash-fiction-friday-6-his-eyes-on-me/

...just a girl's best friend. However, quantum entanglement has been used to justify the physics of faster-than-light communication, a Philotic Parallax Instantaneous Communicator, a.k.a. "ansible" in Ender's Game and other Sci Fi works.

Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance," and he was NOT being kind!
