Tom Levenson at Balloon Juice rips a creationist for using Einstein in their deceptions and wins the coveted pole position this week:
Einstein himself was high school and college science teacher. He taught secondary school briefly during the years between his graduation from Zurich?s ETH (1900) and the start of his job at the Swiss Patent Office (1902), tutoring a private student or two as well. He became a university professor in 1908, and taught at that level until his move to Berlin in 1914. He?s part of the set that the Representative?perhaps stunned by a too-prolonged exposure to tangerine skies?would seek to diss.
- No idea how plausible, but I asked around and was told by couple of people the man is not a crackpot, but the ideas are highly speculative:
Early last year, Dutch theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde published a manuscript to the arXiv that purports to explain why science cannot reconcile all four fundamental forces. According to him, it is simple: "gravity doesn?t exist."
- Another great music streaming site I just started using a few weeks ago: Pandora. Where one song or artist can be used to build an entire radio station just for you!
- Check out one hell of an opening graf in a science article:
As a fish swims over the ocean floor, it?s being watched by hundreds of rocks. The rocks are actually the eyes of a chiton, an armoured relative of snails and other molluscs. Perhaps uniquely among living animals, it sees the world through lenses of limestone, and its eyes literally erode as it gets older.
