I saw an article almost identical to this on Popsci a month or two ago, only with more information. It talked about Strads and how a guy succeeded in fooling listeners into believing his instruments were the Strads because they sounded better because he used a fungus to weaken the wood somewhat and make it less…

On the plus side, they are at least firing at countries other than the US and those in Europe.

It was on here a few weeks ago... Don't have a link to it.

Didn't the government recently release a statement saying it would retaliate cyberwar with conventional warfare? Just saying...

while some of them most certainly are going to be greedy, as someone who knows people in the medical field, they really aren't as greedy and evil as some would believe. They are pretty normal people who want to help and if you can make a vaccine that makes the immune system lay a beatdown on whatever cancer you…

Gates is definitely a prime example of what the absurdly wealthy should do and are capable of. He has so much and he's giving it away to help others. He's not letting his kids run around buying everything they want with billions each. He's giving it to organizations that need it and can do a lot of good. That is…

similar tests on the color red have yielded that it symbolizes power. If you take a banana from a powerful monkey, that monkey might kill you...

In the book series I'm writing, by the end of the third book, humanity basically hits the technological cap around 3700 AD. Humanity gains the ability to warp in and out of the universe around 3300 (more or less teleportation), but it takes an additional 400 years to learn how to manipulate space enough to actually…

This happens to me. No idea why it happens, but then it only happens once every few weeks. It's not consistent, so I'd assume it's the ANS, but then I'm not exactly an expert...

that would be great to see and something to prank my terribly arachnophobic friend with :D

wait... So if they are common... What about those relatively small earth-like exoplanets? If you couldn't see the moons individually, you'd see what appears to be an extra-large planet when in fact it is much smaller. This would mean exoplanets could really be just the same size as Earth.

"can be recharged in a matter of minutes. All you have to do is pump out the depleted goo and replace it with some fresh goo."

I'm just freaked out by any animal that doesn't have a a spinal chord excepting some insects... Jellyfish are the worst and I cringed when they hit against his chest and arms...

these communities are weird. The deaf one won't like you for an auditory implant.

very well said. Until we can even get to it, it is kind of pointless to have it anywhere other than on earth itself which screams bad idea unless it is impossibly stable.

Out past mars, but yeah... I mean, if it is stable and doesn't emit vast amounts of radiation, I'd prefer to have some warning before we all die. I still say though that we start sending out probes with entangled particles and let them orbit way outside Earth's orbit so if anything is coming at us (such as a gamma…

If WWIII happens, there will be hacking, nukes, and anti-satellite missiles. Everything will come crashing down.

I've had the fortune of having three. The first for obvious reasons. The second because he lost the results and the third because I went to a different allergist and he didn't trust the other guy apparently.

I have terrible allergies and have been to three allergists over the years plus an additional four regular doctors relating for similar reasons. Trust me, they exist.

I'm Christian and doubt these claims...
