The bits and the bites of cool science links so YOU don't have to find them.
Even 100 years after his famous equation's conception, Einstein's E=mc2 is accurate and useable. It's great, not only that it's accurate, but also that current scientists are being true to the field and testing what is assumed correct; that's good science!
That's right, folks, the year 2005 will be 1 whole second longer than 2004. Be sure to wait that extra second before ringing in the new year; wouldn't want to jump the gun!
Some of these you'll only get if you know a thing or two about science, but they're pretty funny. Enjoy!
I suppose this isn't technically science, but so much science goes into sattelite tracking and such, I decided this will count. : )
Just when we think we know about our solar system we discover more information! And people wonder why we don't know about the whole galaxy...how can we know so much about things thousands and billians of light years away if we don't even know about our "close" neighbors?
No kidding. They have the most enormous index of legitimate, trustworthy science links I have ever seen. For once: thank you, US Government.
I have been looking for a good source that tells me what planets are in the sky in a given night and where they are in the sky and finally found this awesome java applet. It not only has a star chart for the night, but 7 other features as well, all tweakable and customizable! It's an awesome resource, even if you don't know what you're doing. Poke around and give it a try!
Once again, for the Internet DIYer we have an opportunity to build a robot. Hour(s) of fun for everyone.
For the DIYer looking for something to do over this holiday break. Learn something about those which give us light, and try not to kill yourself.
Carbon nanotubes... just what CAN'T they do? Matresses, no problem. Space Shuttle caseing, sure why not. Super cheap LCD monitors and TVs, no big.
This is really cool! I would love a suit of this stuff! Can you imagine using this for something like sword pratice? Easy to move in, yet if you got hit it wouldn't really hurt? Oh yeah, and something like motorcycle helmits and suits... blah blah blah...
The Energizer bunny ain't got nothing on Spirit and Opportunity. They just keep going and going... there are some great pics here.
Just when you think you know just about everything about all the animals in the world, something happens to proove you don't know everything!
Without any ado, I present snottites. Aptly named, they're like stalagtites, only made out of gooey bacteria hanging from cave ceilings.
Alaskan civil engineer Albert Swank wants to set up a cyclotron in his backyard. His neighbors, however, don't really want to get the SHAFT (Swank's high-energy accelerator for tomography) any time soon. Granted, radioactivity is cool. But nobody wants uranium as a next-door neighbor.
