Pomp and circumstance, hyperbole and drama are how you make string theory interesting to B.A.s.

The LASER experiment was pretty neat. But I’m not a big fan of Prof. Greene. He’s a bit too much pomp & circumstance for my taste... his documentaries are peppered with hyperbole & “drama” and it works really well to appeal to a much larger audience but not so much if you really want to understand the science behind…

I thought this was proven to be untrue and that people still lived to be 60, 70, 80? Am I confusing mortality rate with average age?

That’s the thing though, it’s not even permanent disposal. The new fission designs can reuse the waste from older designs to make it even less radioactive. Unlike strychnine, you can store tons and tons of this waste under water and very little radioactivity will make it out.

It might be worthwhile to panic over all that radioactive uranium already in the ground then.

The SNO+ Chamber’s image reminds me of the projected star maps in Prometheus.

I *really* want her to write a standalone novel about this whole episode. That would be amazing.

Results would have been skewed if this Disney princess counted.

I can believe that if the 2003 internet was going to share one thing and one thing only, it would be an ASCII version of the matrix.

Cool! I can not believe that file even exists at all regardless of anything to do with torrents.

Exactly! Why does movie-Superman not kill? This is why! He learns it from the experiences in his life. Thats also whats gonna make the fight in BvS kinda fun. Cuz Superman is openly telling him he’d be dead if thats what he wanted. So they cat and mouse it.
