Miley Cyrus was taken with a photo of Lawrence Krauss, so much so, she shared it with her Twitter followers . It had this quote from Krauss attached: "You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, all the things that matter for evolution) weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in stars. So forget Jesus. Stars died so you can live." I know what you're thinking: how could he have left out mentioning how we have to get back to the garden, [...]
In honor of the 28th anniversary of Landsat 5 's launch on March 1, NASA has posted a video depicting Las Vegas's urban sprawl over the past four decades through the use of "false-color, multispectral imagery," according to MSNBC . Want to see how your own town or city has changed between 1975 and 2000? Check out this "ChangeMatters" viewer from ESRI . This makes for a nice bookend to the post about income inequality and the future of metropolises .
Question: "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" Answer: "When I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up — many people feel small, 'cause they're small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars." - N eil DeGrasse Tyson, [...]
Just like Santa Claus, Thunk Tank cannot be everywhere at once, and so we do what Santa does—we hire some homeless men to dress up like Jay. But not anymore! Now Scientists and Experts in Japan have found a new answer to this age-old problem: the Robo-Clone. We are not talking about 3-D–print dolls from the Clone Factory —Clone Factory dolls are so pre-tsunami! Plus, they're small ! They are not life-sized, unless you are only about a foot tall. Here, this video explains everything: (You may want to fast-forward to [...]
Peter Cullen, nay Optimus Prime , reflects on our history of exploration and urges humans, on behalf of NASA, to continue the pursuit of the unknown. It's pretty difficult to watch this video and not think Peter Cullen needs to narrate everything from now on (Morgan Freeman has better things to do anyways) and that I need to strap myself on a rocket to Jupiter.

Yesterday at the TED2012 conference in Long Beach, Calif., a swarm of autonomous robotic helicopters, developed by Vijay Kumar and others from the UPenn, demonstrated their unique capabilities by performing the James Bond theme song. New Scientist has a bit more : The robots elegantly move around the room to play different instruments without crashing into each other. Each quadrotor has been assigned a series of points in space that it must reach at specific times to play notes. But the robots decide themselves which routes to take between the [...]
This fast-paced video about patterns and networks, both artificial and natural, makes great use of Clint Mansell's "We're Going Home" from the Moon soundtrack. Jason Silva throws around a bunch of big ideas. His other two videos (' Beginning of Infinity ' and ' You are a RCVR ') are worth watching. If you're at all intrigued by the notion of the convergence of artificial and natural networks, you could do worse than start with this post . I feel like my entire brain just got boom roasted.

One of the hardest decisions we at the NH7 office have to make everyday is, of course, where to get lunch from. It sometimes takes us hours to actually get food and it's about time we let science decide for us. What is science for if not to make our lunchtimes easier?

People enjoy exercising as much as they enjoy paying their taxes and getting a colonoscopy. Researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, recently gathered several groups of volunteers to determine how little exercise people actually need to stay fit and healthy. As it turns out, people don't actually need all that much exercise . [High Intensity Interval Training] is not ideal or necessary for everyone, said Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster, who's overseen the high-intensity studies. "If you have time" for regular 30-minute or longer endurance [...]
