How Long Is A Piece Of String

Another excellent BBC Horizon, presented by Alan Davies. Bitta Booka Shade thrown in in the backround there too :)

Probably avoid watching this on a hangover, prepare for a bit of a head melt.

Liquid Mountaineering

Walking on water! One of the coolest clips I've seen in ages.

One small blog for man...

Just a small teaser montage of some partially restored footage of the moon landing. It's part of a larger restoration project that will be supposedly completed in September (woohoo) and provide a newly restored high definition video of the entire Apollo 11 moonwalk.

In 1969 the live broadcast was recorded onto tapes as a backup if the live feed failed. But of course those tapes were lost, sure why wouldn't they be.... and a three-year hunt for them was unsuccessful, (must have done a runner with the socks) so engineers were left just with recordings of the TV broadcast to work with, which obviously lost a lot of resolution as they travelled from the Moon to the tv stations.

BBC Horizon - Life and Death

Will scientists every discover the fountain of youth...........?

Who wants to live forever?? I for one don't think I'd fancy it anyway, imagine how bored you'd get knowing it was NEVER going to end. Although if they can prevent old age it mightn't be so bad, still though.. Invincibility on the other hand, that'd be some laugh. Cartwheelin' parachuteless out of planes n stuff.

Most of the Universe is missing....

Stuff made of atoms is everywhere... but what makes up the other 96% of the place?

Great doc.

My new idol. You can't help yourself but smile. Can't be a bad thing to waste 3 and a bit minutes of your life on then :)

Symphony Of Science - We Are All Connected

OK I intended to keep my facebook and the bloggyworld a separate entity and not post duplicate links, but I can't stop replaying this vid, so need to stick it here for posterity. Brilliant.

Disappearing Electrons - Proving that Parallel Universes do exist?

Taken from the BBC Documentary - Parallel Universes. One of the most thought provoking doc's I have ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7SDrj4Tjvk

I take a lot of solace in the knowing that right now I'm living it up in an unimaginable paradise in some other time in a parallel universe.
Sometimes I think dreams are a flash leakage from another life you're living on another string.

It explains M-Theory, the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) that Einstein searched his whole life for. "Everything you're about to see here seems impossible and insane, beyond science fiction. Yet it's all true."

"Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe - in fact, there may be an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space, time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form. Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimeter away from us. In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours."

Something to think about!

Lotus Evora

Time for an upgrade me thinks. The longer I hold off checking my lotto tickets, the longer the possible reality of the winnings lasts.

Seychelles sound-tracked by Sam Cooke - Wonderful World

Sitting here in my smelly office thinking about my new home in 8 months time - fits perfectly into both the making me smile and WOW categories :)

HD Footage of the Earth From Space

Some really good quality footage. Few wow moments in there. Music sounds like it's off the closing credits of some shite movie though.
