What to Do When It's Hot as Hell!

It’s heating up in Antarctica and flooding in the driest place on Earth – Chile's Atacama Desert. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are higher now than they’ve been in the last 23 million years.



From what can be gleaned from air bubbles trapped in ancient ice, C02 levels have averaged between 170-280 parts per million since our species first emerged on Earth approximately 200,000 years ago. Now, however, they’re reached 400 ppm. At the rate we’re going, C02 concentrations could well reach 550 ppm by 2100. We are all canaries in this coalmine.

Registrada la gestación de un ‘jet’ estelar en tiempo real

La joven estrella W75N (B)-VLA2 está ayudando a un grupo internacional de astrónomos a entender cómo se pueden haber formado las estrellas más masivas del universo. El equipo, liderado por investigadores mexicanos y con participación española, ha observado a lo largo de 18 años esta estrella en formación que muestra el inicio de la expulsión de materia a través de un jet que regula su crecimiento.

TSA to Require Transparent Clothing

The Transportation Security Administration announced today that all passengers who have ever been stopped and searched for any reason at TSA checkpoints will be required to wear transparent clothing in the future when moving through checkpoints. The agency refused to say how many passengers are involved, but sources within the agency have said that the list contains over thirteen million names. Affected travelers will not be notified in advance, but will be provided with disposable transparent clothing upon attempting to pass through a checkpoint. It will be necessary for travelers to continue to wear the transparent clothing until arriving at their destination and leaving TSA-controlled airport areas.

Scientists Puzzled by Intergalactic Radio Pulses. ET a Possibility

10 fast radio bursts have been detected in the past 15 years that all have the same unusual characteristic of an arrival delay close to a multiple of 187.5. There is no known natural process to explain this. Initially the bursts appeared to be coming from billions of light years away, far outside of our own galaxy. But recent analysis suggests that they may be coming from a group of objects in the Milky Way. Michael Hippke of the Institute for Data Analysis in Germany and John Learned at the University of Hawaii say that if the pattern is real, it is very hard to explain. There is a 5 in 10,000 probability that the line up is a coincidence. If it is a natural process, perhaps in some way involving pulsars, it is the result of a physics that we don't yet understand.

Meditation as Social Obligation

Despite our fascination with meaningful, a-causal co-incidences, we tend to overlook or dismiss linguistic synchronicities – and what we might learn from an anagram or pun. Thus, the fact that ‘prescience’ can be aptly written out as ‘pre-science’ often escapes our notice or, if noticed, our ascription of significance.



Yet, 1000’s of years and many millions of dollars after ancient sages attested to the health-giving benefits of meditation, Science – the slower, younger brother of the mystical arts – can now verify technologically that meditation actually changes the brain in ways that make us better people.
