The Copenhagen Interpretation: Microwave function collapse.

I didn't mention it by name for spoilery reasons - its not evident from the beginning that time travel is involved. And I won't mention it here, but if you're interested, search Amazon with the following catalog code and it should pop up.

Apparently in the future everyone wanders the streets naked. Yay!

Pretty sure they'll find it at the last place they look for it.

Really? Am I the only one whose immediate reaction on finishing reading it was "why the hell is he on this list?".

Although I think one or two of these have been elevated beyond their status, I'm delighted to see two of my all-time favorite movie makers, Miyazaki and Carpenter, on the list. Man, would I love to see Escape From Nausicaa, Assault on Howl's Moving Castle or Snake's Delivery Service.

I'm not sure I agree that the increase in retraction rate is one of the biggest problems in medical research, although some of the points you raise about peer review continue to be important issues. Beyond that, I pretty much agree with what you say, especially that more research scientists means more errors (and…

Absolutely. I believe that one of the more promising approaches to PTSD treatment involves memory reconsolidation of some sort - this may be a more sophisticated approach to the problem.

1. Science isn't broken.

Yeah, I thought we'd discover how to clean up space debris and navigate those tricky corners in space.

Ah yes, but coolness is in the eye of the beholder - once something becomes recognized as cool, with a few exceptions, it inevitably loses some degrees of coolness. Dr. Who hasn't really suffered this. (I'd argue that its never really been overtly targeted at adults, it just deals with a few more "adult themes" than…

The Doctor Who example for #9 is particularly apt, in that, for those growing up in the UK, there was no "before it was popular" - it always was. Not to mention that it has always been cool beyond its time(s).

So, based on the Never Strikes Twice principle, the blue areas are those where its most likely to strike in the future, right?

Yes, I also really enjoyed the exchange between Broyles and his son - a side of either Broyles we rarely get to see, very touching and very important in the context of last night's episode. As for Anna Torv, she just continues to find new ways to amaze - this, too, was a side of redhead Olivia we rarely see.

The scene between redhead* Olivia and Walter at her place was quite simply as good as television ever gets. For the first time last night's episode left me feeling really sad that this might be the final season and that so many people are missing out on pure TV magic.

Neutrium also serves as a useful source of confidential energy surplus accounts, delicious dark (matter) confections and nuclear winter recreation.

Nice job. I'm looking forward to the alternate universe episode in which Esther will demonstrate vegetable pickling in amber, Annalee will have green hair and hopefully neither will have goatees.

I'm not an epidemiologist either, but I'm pretty sure that most antibiotics target processes like protein synthesis, cell wall synthesis and DNA replication, rather than processes linked to pathogenicity. I don't think the absence of himan hosts explains their findings.

It would appear then, at least based on recent trends here in the US, that sizeable fractions of the population are losing functional vmPFC activity. Perhaps it will soon become vestigial, the brain's appendix.

Much as i love many of Japan and Korea's artistic exports, I guess I'm kind of glad I don't live - at least shop - there.
