One of nature's true marvels is photosynthesis, whereby trees and plants actually regulate, recycle, and conserve Earth's environment and atmosphere. Scientist have worked for years to recreate photosynthesis with artificial components, and it looks like some of the brightest minds at MIT have finally figured it out.
From MSNBC The Dylan Ratigan Show -- "Jobs are already scarce in America despite some early signs of recovery. but the latest threat to employment might not be outsourcing, It might actually be robots. According to one estimate, there could be more than 1 million robots working jobs that used to belong to humans in the next two years alone."
What? In two years robots could be doing the jobs that one million people now do? Really? Really! Is there a robot job threat? See the video.
Last night the PBS News Hour did a segment on the Orion Spacecraft, and on its maybe bleak future? Bleak not because of science but because of the budget. Some people, a greater number than one would like, treat the American space program like it is a luxury that America can not afford.
Yeah?
What is the supermoon? Is it like the blue moon? No. The full moon? Well, no. The moon is full but -- according to NASA, the moon is super, the supermoon, because it wil appear about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal, Why? NASA says, because the moon's orbit is oval. Yeah? And?
And there is a point when the moon's closest orbital point to the earth and its full stage coincide to make it appear far bigger and brighter than usual. Oh?
One of the reason why I enjoy the Internet as much as I do is, because I get to see the views from space, which NASA provides. I am a full enthusiastic member of the space age generation. Yes, I was a kid when all the talk was about NASA's seven original astronauts, and about my generation, stepping out on a new adventure. An adventure, for the most of us, has been and will continue to, in the words of Rod Sterling, an adventure "of the mind and of the imagination." A most enjoyable adventure just the same, and a mind expanding and learning adventure.
Researchers have demonstrated that a person’s digit-span—the ability to memorize sequences of digits—can be improved with practice; as the person’s digit span increases, their cognitive functioning also increases.
Researcher Bob Doman conducted a study in 2002 to determine if it was possible to teach someone how to increase their digit span and to see what effects an increase of digit span had on the participants in the study.
