POPSBig Bang Theory Refuted Finally! The universe is not tiny bits of matter going away from each other from a starting point at the beginning of time. The "electric universe" is an entity connected by electro-magnetic plasmas that has been around forever. A really convincing argument. I always suspected the Einstein and the cosmologists he spawned were 'barking', but I could never prove it. Now I can. And if the universe works in a sea of electro magnetic plasma energy, then so must we. Part of a larger trend: From Objects to Relationship.

POPSA2G | Going the IPO route in social network universe? Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn? ___ Reid Hoffman, co-founder and executive chairman of business networking site LinkedIn, has revealed that an IPO is his planned exit strategy, which would also work to the advantage of backers that include Goldman Sachs (GS) and McGraw Hill (MHP). He was coy as to the timing, indicating that it wouldn't be "anytime soon," but spectators suspect that a Facebook IPO would provide a great test case for Hoffman and his team. ___ http://google.twi.bz/Du ___ http://altacities.com

POPSGravity Mysteries: What is Gravity? There are still two problems with this, though. First, we have yet to find any proof of the existence of these hypothetical particles, which have been dubbed "gravitons". Secondly, when quantum field theory is applied to gravity, it is prone to give nonsensical answers to straightforward questions. "These are fundamental obstructions that need to be overcome," Seven things that don't make sense about gravity

POPSWe Still Have To Be Afraid, Heck of A Job, Barry Even before a Nigerian with Al Qaeda links tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet headed to Detroit, travelers could see we had made no progress toward a technologically wondrous Philip K. Dick universe. We seemed to still be behind the curve and reactive, patting down grannies and 5-year-olds, confiscating snow globes and lip glosses. Instead of modernity, we have airports where security is so retro that taking away pillows and blankies and bathroom breaks counts as a great leap forward. If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?

POPSHappy New Year New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. ~Hamilton Wright Mabie

POPSWe All Want To Know "We will probably never find that cosmic connection to our lost royalty. Someday I will visit Norway and look up those ancestors. They died not knowing the fate of the universe, and so will I, but maybe that’s all right." TN told me once she felt closer to knowing God through science. Well, she has her way and I have mine, but we all want to know :)

POPSCopernicus Burial The remains of a giant of astronomy, Nicolaus Copernicus, are to be re-buried at Fromburg Cathedral in Poland. Copernicus is famous for his book: De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), in which he put forward his heliocentric model, in which the Sun is at the center of the universe, and showing that the motions of celestial objects such as the planets, can be explained without having the Earth atin the center of the universe. This work was furthered by Galileo, Kepler, and Newton among others.

POPSAnother Balkanized Technology Rip-Off
What new technology do you have that isn't already obsolete as soon as you buy it? I can think of only one that I've purchased in the past thirty years. I did actually buy a computer that didn't become obsolete within three years. I can understand it if technology is truly growing and developing, and new, greatly enhanced products are being produced. That doesn't happen very often. From vinyl formats to programs to online image formats to music formats, the balkanized world of technology has introduced its most recent addition: E-BOOK READERS. The concept of importance here is that the e-book reader world is balkanized, separated....segregated, for no good reason. One might surmise that it is greedy desire for exuberant overspending by the consumer. Is this what drives the separation and format variations among the electronic publishers and e-book reader manufacturers? Each e-book reader accepts a few electronic publication formats. NO e-BOOK READER accepts all formats of ele

POPSA Fascinating NDE "The Void is the vacuum or nothingness between all physical manifestations. The SPACE between atoms and their components. Modern science has begun to study this space between everything. They call it Zero point. Whenever they try to measure it, their instruments go off the scale, or to infinity, so to speak. They have no way, as of yet, to measure infinity accurately."

POPSClearest sign yet of dark matter detected "Had the experiment seen five events above the expected background, the claim for having detected dark matter would have been a lot stronger. Nonetheless, the team cannot dismiss the possibility that the two events are because of dark matter." "Space-based telescopes like PAMELA have seen particles that could be coming from the annihilation of dark matter in our galaxy. Similar sightings have been made by a balloon-based experiment called ATIC. Soon, the Large Hadron Collider will be starting to smash protons together in the hopes of creating dark matter."
