Nanoscientists. Yes, they’re really really small scientists. xD
I remember reading about this sort of thing in Discovery a couple years ago. I thought it was pretty cool then, and I still do now.
And yes, yes we are.
Superconductors are pretty much the coolest thing I’ve ever heard about.
This looks amazing! I am very excited!
I think my dad will also like this one a lot.
Also, it looks so pro!
Minute Physics – Shrodinger’s Cat
Seriously folks, check out this guys videos, his drawings are funny and he explains and clarifies common misunderstandings in a really great way. As I learn more science, it’s becoming more clear to me that there aren’t simple answers to many things, in fact, there aren’t really many answers, just the best models we can currently come up with. Sure, some of them are pretty steadfast, but science and understanding is always evolving at a startling rate. It’s quite exciting really.
If this is a reference to what I think it’s a reference to then… just wow.
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is
possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something
is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to
venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from
magic.

This is a really interesting article about the differences between how engineering, science and math are taught in the US and how professionals in those disciplines actually work. (Please click on the photo to be redirected to the article)
how beautiful we all are. how beautiful this, whatever this is, is.
how we’re all composed of millions and millions of tissues made up of billions of cells and an infinite number of miniscule little particles we’ve never laid eyes on. how incredible it is that each of us was created through the combination of a labyrinth of tiny little codes strung together so precisely, codes that would give rise to thoughts and movements and sound. our irises alone contain more colours than we’ll ever be able to find words for. when we touch the skin of someone we love, little explosions go off in our core because the beauty, the closeness, is so unbearable. when we tune into sounds composed of intricately woven little notes, we are overwhelmed – by passion, by grief, by memory, by the ineffable. we speak to one another with combination after combination of sounds and frequencies, and through these words the perception of emotion, idea, shape is possible. we create and we build and design and explore, and yet even after thousands of years there is still too much creating, too much building, designing, and exploring to be done. and we love. oh, do we love.
and because all of this occurs on a little mote of dust illuminated by a dim little ball of gas in a vast expanse whose full stretch we can never wholly explore, we create our own universes. everything perpetual and new, nothing ever comes to a full stop. nothing can. we have all been set in motion, and it is the sort of motion characterized by lightness, the most ethereal sort of motion that exists. this is it.
Lovely description of how I feel when I stop to think about things.
I don’t like Science. I like doughnuts and ducks.
I am here because when my dad was young he had a meditation that started in the middle and extended within and without to the reaches of our universe and came around again in a size-less loop where the entirety of infinity was contained in a single atom, and ever since I have been caught in the complexion and perplexity of all that there is and isn’t, is known and unknown, and will be.
