World First WIMP Detector: Searching for Dark Matter | Universe Today: May 5, 5:21pm 2 reviews physics
http://www.universetoday.com/2008/05/05/digging-for-dark-matter-the-large-und...; From the page: "How do you catch a WIMP? No, I'm not talking about bullying the weakest kid in class, I'm talking about Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (those WIMPs). Well, it isn't easy. Although they are "massive" by definition, they do not interact with the electromagnetic force (via photons) so they cannot be "seen" and they do not interact with the strong nuclear force, so they cannot be "felt" by atomic nuclei. If we cannot detect WIMPs via these two forces, how can we possibly ever hope to detect them? After all, WIMPs are theorized to be flying through the Earth without hitting anything, they are that weakly interacting. But sometimes, they might collide with atomic nuclei but only if they collide head-on. This is a very rare occurrence, but the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) detector will be buried 4,800 feet (1,463 meters, or nearly a mile) underground in an old South Dakota goldmine and scientists are hopeful that when an unlucky WIMP bumps into a xenon atom, a flash of light will be captured, signifying the first ever observation of dark matter..."

Send Your Name to the Moon: May 4, 8:30pm 6 reviews space-exploration
http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/index.php; From the page: "Sign up to send your name to the moon. Names will be collected and placed onboard the LRO spacecraft for its historic mission bringing NASA back to the moon. You will also receive a certificate showcasing your support of the mission.
The deadline is June 27, 2008 for the submission of names.
LRO's objectives are to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology. "

APOD: 2007 December 22 - Tyrrhenian Sea and Solstice Sky: Apr 2, 1:51am 17 reviews astronomy
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071222.html; The December Solstice marks the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the south. When viewed from northern latitudes, the Sun will make its lowest arc through the sky along the southern horizon. So in the north, the Solstice day has the shortest length of time between sunrise and sunset and fewest hours of daylight. This striking composite image follows the Sun's path through the December Solstice day of 2005 in a beautiful blue sky, looking down the Tyrrhenian Sea coast from Santa Severa toward Fiumicino, Italy. The view covers about 115 degrees in 43 separate, well-planned exposures from sunrise to sunset.

Volcano Tungurahua erupted spectacularly last year. Pictured above, molten rock so hot it glows visibly pours down the sides of the 5,000-meter high Tungurahua, while a cloud of dark ash is seen being ejected toward the left. Wispy white clouds flow around the lava-lit peak, while a star-lit sky shines in the distance. The above image was captured last year as ash fell around the adventurous photographer. Located in Ecuador, Tungurahua has become active roughly every 90 years since for the last 1,300 years. Volcano Tungurahua has started erupting again this year and continues erupting at a lower lever even today.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/03/080307-costa-rica.html; this moron stellare.stumbleupon.com who claims to be a scientist enjoys stalking other stumblers, a real psycho, should be banned.

she constantly manipulates urls and preposts, and if she visits your blog because you found something interesting,
she will try to take over your life... a total freak, I am so sick of her. Don't let all her lies fool you, she is the scum of stumble and nothing more.

Earth Science Picture of the Day: Feb 12, 6:34pm 44 reviews nature, science
http://epod.usra.edu/archive/epodviewer.php3?oid=180832; From the page: "The spectacular image above shows morning frost on a blade of grass as imaged using a low temperature scanning electron microscope (SEM). This grass fragment was held in liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees C or -320 F), to keep the frost crystals from melting, before it was imaged at the Scanning Electron Microscopy Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland. Frost crystals form perpendicular to individual blades of grass. Note that although these plate type crystals are hexagonal, a number of them appear to be square-shaped. "

Feb 12, 6:13pm: the biggest leech/leach and cheat and creep at stumble used to be
maiketh.stumbleupon.com [stumbleupon.com] here are some quotes about him "vermin", "socially inept", "low life scum" "must be some idiot with an extremely SMALL groin area* "stumbles #1 mental and liar" "Just another moron trying to screw up a nice community." "a cyberrapist to get to the top, and will continue to cyberrape hard working stumblers to stay there" "he destroys what is good on the internet"

He has been replaced by.......drum roll.....
stellare.stumbleupon.com [stellare.stumbleupon.com]
cheeeeers.... confetti....sirens blaring........yaaaaaaaaaaay

She is twice as socially inept, five times the cyberrapist, and ten times the cheat, an idiot and a psycho. Yaaaaaaaay your number 1!!!
(manipulates and preposts 404's urls which robs decent stumblers of a real discovery everyday)....quite disgusting.....my quote
somebody should tell her she is a moron and if your going to abuse stumble maybe you should find a site that welcomes stalkers and people with such a limited mentality.

another socially inept stumble creep that is too lazy and a liar about everything is tapwaterj, a maiketh clone.

Inventor Doesnt Dare Say Perpetual Motion Machine: Feb 12, 5:34pm 5 reviews physics
http://www.physorg.com/news121610315.html; Thane Heins knows the track record of inventors that claim to make breakthroughs in power generation methods, especially when they claim to defy the second law of thermodynamics. Every so often, a (usually untrained) scientist comes along with a machine that supposedly creates more energy than is put in. Every time, the ideas have been rebuked by real scientists.
