POPSCopernican principle re-examined: We might be living in a giant cosmic bubble Clifton, along with Oxford researchers Pedro G. Ferreira and Kate Land, say that in coming years we may be able to distinguish between dark energy and the void. They point to the upcoming Joint Dark Energy Mission, planned by NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy to launch in 2014 or 2015. The satellite aims to measure the expansion of the universe precisely by observing about 2,300 supernovae. The scientists suggest that by looking at a large number of supernovae in a certain region of the universe, they should be able to tell whether the objects are really accelerating away, or if their light is merely being distorted in a void.

POPSTNH: "Some things I know about moderating conversations in virtual space" It’s an inescapable truth that for some people, the most interesting way to participate in online discourse is to kick holes in the conversation. Others—many of them young, but some, alas, old enough to know better—have a sense of entitlement that leads them to believe that their having an opinion means the rest of us are obliged to listen to it. Still others plainly get off on verbally abusing others, and seek out conversations that will offer them opportunities to do so. Teresa Nielsen Hayden, who has been dubbed "the troll whisperer" for her moderation skills, on the dynamics of trolls and flamers, and how to moderate a discussion to encourage participation and discourage rudeness and abusive behavior.

POPSChina's Space Mission a Success.... at who's expense? How much milk did they taint for this? How much did they scrimp on quality for exportation to other countries in order to afford their space rendezvous? I bet.... if we were to ban certain imports from China, it will be a long time before they are seen in space again. grrrrr

POPSPrivately-funded Rocket Reaches Space Just a few days after the Chinese government performed its first spacewalk, SpaceX has achieved the first successful rocket launch funded by a private company. Finally, space exploration as a for-profit venture might be starting to make sense. And that may mean a new sort of race to the moon is beginning--this time between China's government and American private industry.

POPSOur Future is ours to write The grand Unified Theory of Time Space, and Existence. We all have a choice. The choice between Light and Darkness. The Darkness is ignorance, division, fear, and oppression, hunger and need., The light is knowledge, understanding, acceptance, unity, compassion, empathy, faith, hope, and Love. There is a reason we fear the darkness. It will kill us. But only if we believe it is so. When we allow in the light, the Darkness has no substance, and so ceases to exist. So our fears can be relieved, and replaced with hope. The Future is ours to write.

POPSOutdoor pools more 'breathtaking':study
They were studying the way exposure to chlorine vapor can cause Asthma. It was believed that out door pools allowed Chlorine to evaporate more quickly. This was more an assumption than a fact. Chlorine Gas and HCl or Hydrogen Chloride, which becomes Hydrochloric Acid, when it dissolves in water as a matter of course, is best in the stomach for digestion, or with or with the Alkali NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) which becomes the neutral Salt It Does Not Belong in the Lungs. Why do we use chemical Pan Microbicides, when there is the potential to give water its own version of an immune system? Creeks, rivers and Oceans Don't need Chlorine to remain clean. Why should we think we have a better defense using Chlorine. killing all microbes can turn water Sterile and Stagnant. We need Oxygenated Water,(Waterfall) and microbes can be part of a self contained Eco=system Pools don't need Chlorine, they need things like Fish . this will also help recycle biological 'waste' we produce naturally

POPSThe Sun IS Slowing Down.... Quick- light a fire, go for a drive, do something- anything- just make some more CO2 before we all freeze to death.. Wish I was joking, but the lack of sunspots too makes me think we could soon be very grateful for our atmospheric blanket! Mind you, we only have to ground the airplanes for one day a week to reduce global dimming and presto!- global warming at the stroke of a pen....
