Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this lengthy flight a very strange event occurred that even had crewman Dr. Story Musgrave unable to explain what he observed from the shuttle windows. A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high. The disc was first observed to ...

At Last, Chevrolet Unwraps the 2009 Corvette ZR1 By Matthew Phenix EmailDecember 20, 2007 | 9:16:03 AMCategories: Detroit 2008 X09ch_cr011 After innumerable Elvis-style sightings and camo-clad Nürburgring appearances, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has finally broken cover — and quite an animal it is. Picking up where the already pretty amazing, 505-horsepower Z06 leaves off, the scooped-and-spoilered ZR1 packs a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with "at least" 620 horsepower and 595 pound-feet of torque (visible through a polycarbonate window in the hood). Power reaches the rear wheels through a new six-speed Tremec manual transmission. Chevy engineers have installed ...

Time is running out - literally, says scientist By Tom Chivers and Roger Highfield, Science Editor Last Updated: 6:01am GMT 18/12/2007 Scientists have come up with the radical suggestion that the universe's end may come not with a bang but a standstill - that time could be literally running out and could, one day, stop altogether. # Are we missing a dimension of time? # Death star "could be wiping out alien life" # Are dark forces at work in space? The idea that time itself could cease to be in billions of years - and everything will grind to a halt - has been set out by Professor José Senovilla, Marc Mars and Raül Vera of the University of the Basque Country, ...

Year of global cooling By David Deming December 19, 2007 Al Gore says global warming is a planetary emergency. It is difficult to see how this can be so when record low temperatures are being set all over the world. In 2007, hundreds of people died, not from global warming, but from cold weather hazards. Since the mid-19th century, the mean global temperature has increased by 0.7 degrees Celsius. This slight warming is not unusual, and lies well within the range of natural variation. Carbon dioxide continues to build in the atmosphere, but the mean planetary temperature hasn't increased significantly for nearly nine years. Antarctica is getting colder. Neither the intensity nor the ...

Gamma Ray Burst Explosion Stuns Astronomers by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media A team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic explosion that seems to have come from the middle of nowhere. This very long in duration burst of charged particles is surprising because they are thought to be powered by the death of a massive star---but no star was known to be in the area. The blast was detected on January 25, 2007, by several spacecraft of the Inter-Planetary Network. Observations by NASA's Swift satellite pinpointed the explosion, named GRB 070125 for its detection date, to a region of sky in the constellation Gemini. It was one of the brightest bursts of the year, and the ...

How to Fall 47 Stories... and Live By Noah Shachtman EmailDecember 17, 2007 | 9:32:02 AMCategories: Over the Top Amd_scaffoldingpolice How did Alcides Moreno, a New York City window washer, manage to fall 47 stories -- and live? His brother, Edgar, was up on the same shaky scaffold, and didn't make it. And fifty percent of people who fall a mere "four to five stories die. By the time you reach 10 or 11 stories, just about everyone dies," Dr. Sheldon Teperman tells the New York Post. So he did Moreno survive? The Post has a theory: he was able to cling "to a 1,250-pound scaffold that acted like a surfboard in the sky." Those grappling with why he miraculously ...

About half the size of a football field and 21 stories tall, the largest optical telescope ever constructed will use almost 1,000 mirrors to hunt for exoplanets — and maybe even unlock the secrets of spacetime. How to Capture the Cosmos 1. Collect the Light Starlight hits the 138-foot-wide parabolic PRIMARY MIRROR—an array of 984 hexagonal panels, each one 330 pounds, 4.8 feet in diameter and two inches thick. The panels are so heavy that gravity actually causes them to shift very slightly as the scope moves, so three actuators under each panel flex 10 times per second to keep the mirror properly aligned. The light bounces up to the 20-foot-wide MIRROR A. 2. Reflect ItMIRROR A ...

Breaking News: Science validates key Mayan Calendar premise by Irvthom Page 1 of 1 page(s) http://www.opednews.com Tell A Friend Fresh this week, in the New York Times and hundreds of media outlets across the country, is the reported discovery that human evolution has accelerated far more swiftly over the last 40,000 years than had ever been realized. This not only contradicts earlier assumptions that our physical/mental evolution supposedly stabilized that long ago, but it validates the underlying basis of the Mayan Calendar, a radically different way of understanding time that has only recently come to be understood — and is still outside the mainstream framework of such ...

Galaxy blasts neighbor with deadly beam of energy By Dave Mosher, SPACE.com Posted 1h 39m ago For the first time astronomers have witnessed a supermassive black hole blasting its galactic neighbor with a deadly beam of energy. The "death star galaxy," as NASA astronomers called it, could obliterate the atmospheres of planets but also trigger the birth of stars in the wake of its destructive beam. Fortunately, the cosmic violence is a safe distance from our own neck of the cosmos. "We've seen many jets produced by black holes, but this is the first time we've seen one punch into another galaxy like we're seeing here," said Dan Evans, astronomer at the ...

Small group of US experts insist global warming not man-made

Sun Dec 16, 3:58 PM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - A small group of US experts stubbornly insist that, contrary to what the vast majority of their colleagues believe, humans may not be responsible for the warming of the planet Earth. These experts believe that global warming is a natural phenomenon, and they point to reams of data they say supports their assertions. These conclusions are in sharp contradiction to those of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which reached its conclusions using largely similar data. The UN body of about 3,000 experts, including several renown US scientists, jointly won the award with former US vice president Al Gore for their ...

Shock at $85k mobile phone bill A Canadian man has been shocked to receive a mobile phone bill for nearly $85,000 (£41,000). Piotr Staniaszek thought he could use his new phone as a modem for his computer under his $10 unlimited mobile browser plan from Bell Mobility. He downloaded high-definition movies and other large files unaware that this incurred massive extra charges. Bell Mobility has since lowered the bill to $3,243, but Mr Staniaszek says he intends to fight the charges anyway. 'Nobody told me' The 22-year-old oil-field worker from Calgary said he thought a first bill for $65,000 in November was a mistake. When he spoke to Bell Mobility he was informed the ...

Lightning Bolts within Cells A new nanoscale tool reveals strong electric fields inside cells. Using novel voltage-sensitive nanoparticles, researchers have found electric fields inside cells as strong as those produced in lightning bolts. Previously, it has only been possible to measure electric fields across cell membranes, not within the main bulk of cells. It's not clear what causes these strong fields or what they might mean. But now that it's possible to measure them, researchers hope to learn about disease states such as cancer by studying these electric fields. University of Michigan researchers led by chemistry professor Raoul Kopelman encapsulated voltage-sensitive ...

Physics laws flawed E-mail to a Friend Monday, 10 December 2007 Swinburne University A Swinburne astrophysicist has leapt another hurdle in the path to proving that our fundamental theories of physics are not what they seem. Dr Michael Murphy is part of a team that has, over recent years, uncovered surprising and controversial evidence suggesting the laws of physics may have been changing through cosmic time. In this latest move, Murphy has debunked a study which claimed to disprove his findings. Murphy’s research into the laws of Nature goes back eight years, and concerns our understanding of electromagnetism, the force of nature that determines the sounds we hear, the light we ...

(Anthony Flew) The newspapers these days are echoing with these regret-filled words by Anthony Flew, in his time a well-known atheist philosopher. The 81-year-old British professor of philosophy Flew chose to become an atheist at the age of 15, and first made a name for himself in the academic field with a paper published in 1950. In the 54 years that followed, he defended atheism as a teacher at the universities of Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele and Reading, at many American and Canadian universities he visited, in ...
