POPSFinding the Shapes of Alternative Spatial Dimensions String theory proposes that particles, described in the Standard Model as point-like entities, are in fact more like vibrating strings of energy. The different frequencies at which they vibrate through the fabric of space-time gives them their unique physical properties. Gary Shiu, professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, proposes a model in which the shape of the extra spacial dimensions determines the properties of the universe, much in the same way the shape of a musical instrument determines its sound, meaning that string theory predicts that the particle masses and the forces exerted in the universe are in direct relation to the vibrating frequency of the string which, in turn, is given by the shape of the spatial dimensions.

POPSSleep no escape from wired world. I first thought the title referred to the electrical interference from electronic devices interfering with sleep but the story is about a bed that monitors sleeping patterns and makes adjustments according to the results. It does include connection to the internet any is the chance of getting little sleep through watching movies or just being online all night.

POPSUFO's 'Down Under' - Mystery Revealed In 1989 there was a huge and very similar story from Belgium. Giant triangles flying over Brussels, showing up on radar....huge as battleships or aircraft carriers. The Belgian Air Force called a press conference about it and showed the images and radar scans, with audio recordings of the pilots who were sent to intercept. No one could offer an earthly explanation. The EU promised to look into it and then? Then the press died down and everyone forgot about it. I'll buy the Min Min lights explanation. I have seen lights in the outback myself and this could very well have been what I saw too. As for the antenna facility? Okay, I'll go with that too, but what about the Belgian triangles and the Stephensville and Phoenix triangles? Back to square one, I guess. The mystery continues. :D
