In a matter of dark...

Ever had to get-up in the middle of the night? Since the landscape is familiar, there is no need to turn on the lights. Feeling too warm to wear socks or put on slippers, so bare-foot it is. It's pitch-black. You might need to reach out for a second to make sure you're not going to bash your head on the pillar of your canopy bed (if you have one) - or the door to the bedroom since it may have been left ajar.  As you work your way across the hallway floor, the carpeting suddenly feels uneven. House settling? Must be something under the carpeting that was never noticed before. Especially since I always walked around with slippers... whatever.

If the underlying wooden frame of the house is the structure of space-time which we do not see... and the dry-wall, carpeting, paint, etc. is the matter that "dresses up" our universe. Isn't it safe to say that the "wooden frame" of our universe can either "settle" or been "lived in" before? Who is to say that this is the 1st universe to exist in this area. Don't forget - if what we see is just one of various universes (multiverse), the other ones may be affecting us in ways we cannot see.

Although Dark Matter may still be elusive, to me Dark Energy feels like that uneven carpet. There is something (or lack thereof) "underneath" us that we can feel.

I entered a reply to this + plus magazine  article on Dark Matter a few years ago:

Scroll to the bottom for the "anonymous" reply from Fernando in Tarrytown., NY.. that's me.

I still believe what I wrote two years ago. Yes, it's just a theory - but something tells me that what we might be experiencing as "energy" may have once been matter. A lot of matter. Suns, stars, maybe even singularities that got wiped away when the prior universe collapsed. I know... they say our current universe may expand indefinitely. Ever think that maybe this time around, our neighboring universes are collapsing? Allowing for our expansion? Sorry - I digress... a whole other matter... :)

What do you think?

Virtually Awesome!

There's no point in me re-hashing this review... it's pretty cool as-is:

In that list, The Virtuix Omni got my complete attention.

Be like "WOA"

I can see FPS's like HALO making the best out of this bad boy!
I know... it's not the same. Thumbs will feel neglected, and it may "level the playing field" a bit, as skill will come down to how fast you can turn your head and aim your weapon in the real world (not thumb control). The walking thing still has me confused... not sure if you can "run for your life" as quickly as I'd like to. Especially if someone is about to splatter me with a Covenant Ghost... Speaking of - check out this Ghost Rampage:

Uh oh... how would the Omni handle vehicle operations? 

My kid is smarter than I am!!

WOW! I don't even have to wait 20+ years and thousands of dollars of getting my offspring through college to say that... HAHAHA! Why?! My wife came across this yesterday:
Babies can Understand Quantum Mechanics
AwEsOmE!
So - how did I find this and care?
My wife and I just welcomed our 1st child to the world last week- :) - so you can imagine we are surfing the web for baby stuff... never thought we'd find something relating newborns to Quantum Mechanics!
HA!
I'm somewhat capable of wrapping my head around many Q.M. theories and what not... but I think this is phenomenal! We may be born with the ability to understand it all!
HA!
According to Quantum Computing expert, Seth Lloyd: "Newborn babies are the only people alive who intuitively understand quantum mechanics".
8^)
Apparently, when playing peek-a-boo with my little one (once he manages to track me a little better in the weeks to follow) - he will "know" that I can potentially be in multiple states when I hide under the blankets. YEA! Like an electron's quantum state!

Happy 66 Anniversary Aliens!!

WOOHOO!!
This is too funny... go to Google.com now!
They are "celebrating" the 66th anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash!
There's like a "mini-game" to find the parts of your UFO... HAHAHA.

Other than ID4, what is your favorite "Roswell / Area 51" story?

What's next... Bigfoot was a rock-formation?

Next to finding out that Capt. Kirk's hair may not have been his own in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn... this has become the next biggest disappointment:
Nessy may not be real!

Didn't know fault-lines could stick their heads out of water...

I can't wait to hear the scientific explanation for big foot or chupacabra...
Never mind... I guess there are:
Bigfoot DNA
Chupacabra puppy

Captain Kirk Academy of Fighting

This is too hysterical not to share with everyone. I am a big (if not huge) fan of everything Star Trek.
So... why haven't they adhered to the same fighting style from the original series -as seen below-  for all the action sequences in the spin-offs or recent movies?

Yep... they're missing out, and I know what you're wondering:
Why didn't JJ Abrams demand that the fight sequences in the new ST movies be of this caliber?

Huston... This looks AWESOME!

It may be a while before I get a chance to go on vacation... anywhere. In the mean time, I will have to plot on how to get us to the new Space Shuttle Atlantis Exhibit in Cape Canaveral, Florida:

This could only be "cooler" in the -180 degrees of space (shadow).

Technically, we have Space Shuttle Enterprise right here in NY... reopening July 10th on the Intrepid!

Not the NCC-1701, but Awesome. nonetheless

Now that "space-shuttling" will be going commercial:

1. How long do you think it will be before (everyday) people will be vacationing in orbit?
2. Honeymoons on the moon?
3. First Star Bucks in space? 

Live long and prosper!
