Yeah.  I especially love how they brush off details, like stripping the electrons from the hydrgoen and keeping the magnets colder than outer space.

i thought it was cool too- mostly because it helped me understand how that thing does what it does.  chings prob fell asleep 2 seconds after hitting play and then laughed at physics n00bs like myself thinking it was cool.

What are they trying to figure out?  Seems stupid.

Image of the solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS), taken from the area of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman on January 4th 2011 at 9:09 UT, during the partial solar eclipse. The image shows three planes in space: the Sun at 150 million km, the Moon at about 400000 km and the ISS at 500 km.

This was amazing.  I have had a science-related boner since first hearing about the LHC.  One of the d00ds signed up to use it has a theory that there are something like 12 dimensions and that he thinks he will be able to prove at least 9 of them while using this.

Crazy that people can actually think on that level.

Can't imagine what it took to design such a device.

any star trail picture just blows my rough ridin' mind. Time lapse is amazing.

These light pillars are not just rare, they are exceptional!" declares atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley. "Ordinary pillars are produced by plate-shaped ice crystals roughly half way between you and the light source. These ones are different. Their rarely seen flared tops show that they were made by column-shaped crystals drifting slowly downwards and aligned horizontal by air resistance.

That video terrified me. Is this the same guy who had a tear in his glove and his hand swelled up like a melon?
