Tuesday Science and Technology Abstract

To Boldly Go - How best to find New Worlds.

Princeton and Google

The Chinese Romans- While I was in College I did a couple of studies and papers on the Silk Road, and of Greek, Byzantine, and Roman traffic East and of Chinese Traffic West. One was a study of possible Buddhist influence on early Christianity and Common-era Judaism, and the other was concerned with economic trade between East and West via overland routes. I find this project very interesting and will follow it with real curiosity.

Sunita of Outer Space - Where else but in America?

The Dendritic Advantage - I've been saying this for years: If Solar Radiation makes Clark Kent a Superman it ought to at least make you a little healthier. There are few things sunshine and fresh air won't cure. Add regular outdoor exercise and you may live to be a hundred.

When Detection Doesn't - Try Bird Flu a la Britannia.

Negative Refraction - I gotta admit, I love at least the theory behind this idea.

No Time Like the Present

A View on a Nightmare - What bothers me most about Vista is Vista.

FutureWar - FCS: We've still got a long ways to go in my opinion, but this ain't half bad for now.

Posted - This sounds more like something the New York Times would believe.

Tuesday Science and Technology Abstract

Stem Cells as they Should Be - Now here is a far more ethical use of stem cells. They are extracted from the host creature, no potential separate creature is destroyed to harvest them, and most importantly as I've said before, it is the host organism itself from which real cures for the individual will come. Not from alien stem cells taken from an unrelated creature. It is only basic logic and biology, yet you would think from the way the science surrounding stem cells was pursued originally that nearly 500 years of more modern medical knowledge had been lost overnight in an anti-scientific frenzy of political vapidness. Modern scientists, when they get a bug up their ass and a theory in their empty skulls no amount of evidence will dissuade them. Like Greek theoreticians, they create a theory to explain the way the world oughtta work instead of simply looking at the real world and noticing how it actually works. They make me laugh.

Zazacatla - Very interesting. Another Olmec linked city. Personally I love studying about the Olmecs and Toltecs.

Portfolio of Fuels - How much corn can Jimmy Crack crack?


The Strong and the Stretchy - Nanocomposites that do it all.

The Prize - Dang, and I was betting good money and hard science that Al Gore had done this.

Learning to Devector - A better detector is a better devector.

A Mirror on the Man - Just the ticket and an excellent idea.
















Bird Flu goes Mammalian - Well, don't say I didn't see this coming guys cause I told you it would happen. Where is that evolutionary species barrier now that we really need it?

Cybercrooked - I love it. Sir Isaac Newton would be proud. Very proud.








Virtual Europe - It just makes so much sense, whether you stop to bother to think about it, or not.
