  1. "Photo Not Available" is quite erotic for me.

  3. VEGETADTX, actually no. As Spieltod Tobn said earlier, I don't think you or Antonio know how pinhole cameras (or cameras in general) work. Get a large box made of thin cardboard and go into a room. Make sure the box is completely dark inside. Now punch a small SQUARE hole on one side (it must be very very small so incoming light will be mostly blocked, except the ones which pass directly through the hole at all angles). What do you see? A blurry circle? A square? No. You see an inverted image of the room it is in on the side of the box opposite of the hole. Try it with shaped light sources like a window or a ring light or two flashlights. Again you won't see a simple circle or square, but see the exact inverted images on the other side of the hole. What they are seeing isn't simply a "blurred" image of the hole, it IS actually an inverted image of the sun (and the sky). Google "camera obscura". Wikipedia has an excellent article on it.

  4. We had an old treadle Singer sewing machine growing up in the Philippines. It's still alive to this day, though the wooden table has been damaged by the ravages of time. I was always fascinated with how it seemingly magically makes stitches.

  5. I read 2010 first, before 2001. The section on Europans fascinated me the most.

  7. ***** Yes, but those were the substandard gods, the ones made with duct tape and quark-gluons. If you want high quality singularity-fresh physics-breaking divinities, look no further than 1e-37 seconds.

  9. @RastaTailSpike, exactly. The pinhole camera effect has pretty much infinite depth of field. It is not a lens. It is not affected at all by how far you are from the wall. Instead it is affected by how small the hole is. The larger the hole, the blurrier it gets, as you move further away. The only real problem of the camera obscura effect is exposure. There is a very limited amount of photons entering the hole, so the further you move from the wall, the fainter the image becomes. But again, it will NOT blur. Even if you're in a room the size of the galaxy, you can still project a sharp image on the other side of the room, provided it's dark enough that you can see it. In fact, the largest single photograph ever created was made by turning an entire aircraft hangar into a camera obscura. Covering it completely and then puncturing the side with a tiny hole. That said, pinhole cameras do also blur, but paradoxically, it happens when the hole is too small. This is due to diffraction (not diffusion), and results in wave-like patterns on the image.

  15. Hassaan Rauf Are your gods doing too much death and destruction and too little miracles? It might be time to switch to our brand-new 1e-37 gods. In our business, unknowable means unknowable and that's that. PRE-ORDER NOW and get one (1) brand new Revelation!

  17. Religion is the direct ancestor of science. These stories were our early attempts to understand the natural world. But while the rest of knowledge moves on as new things are discovered, people have a tendency to stick to old knowledge, insisting that these were good enough. These are religions (although this also applies to old scientific beliefs as well). The reasons for doing so may vary., but it's mostly the natural human psychological aversion to cognitive dissonance. As curious beings, we are driven to attempt to explain why things are the way they are. But at the same time, once we have found a comfortable explanation, we find it difficult to accept new things that contradict said explanation. And even if we do accept, we tend to hold on to parts of the old explanation that have not been debunked. Especially when the explanation CAN explain MOST things, except for the new discoveries. In such cases, it's easier to discard the new data. The reason why new theories usually take a while before gaining acceptance in the scientific community, is the same reason why religions persist.

  22. Far out, dudes. We're all just vibrations in the universe. Righteous! Seriously though, pilot wave vs. Copenhagen interpretation seems like the difference between someone who compromises and someone who doesn't. Someone who requires a definite vs. someone who only needs the possible.

  23. The loss of the Aral Sea still shakes me somewhat. That's a body of water that was once the fourth largest lake in the world. It disappeared in a span of more or less 2 decades.

  25. I think the best solution is to simply have more open-access journals. Making it easier to publish papers without having to kiss someone's ass, pay through your nose, or make titillating claims.
