The REAL 10,000 BC...
You may have seen a preview or trailer for the movie 10,000 B.C., coming out in March, 2008. Consider this film an unrealistic fantasy flick, like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or The Mummy. The trailer alone has so many scientific contradictions, it's just silly.
Why There's More Light Where!
Fascinating look at how the world developed by examining its illumination at night
Super-buff cattle may hold key to treating muscular diseases
"If you'd said to me 10 years ago, what are the chances there's going to be a therapy that increases muscle mass while people sit on the couch, I'd have said zero," said Knopf. "But these things are coming."
No such race as Malay
According to a professor of National University of Singapore, there is no such race as the "Malays". If we follow the original migration of the Southern Chinese of 6,000yrs ago, they moved into Taiwan, then into the Philippines and moved into Borneo....progressed into Jawa, and Sumatera.

Earth's getting 'soft' in the middle
Since we can?t sample the deepest regions of the Earth, scientists watch the velocity of seismic waves as they travel through the planet to determine the composition and density of that material. Now a new study suggests that material in part of the lower mantle has unusual electronic characteristics that make sound propagate more slowly, suggestin
New method for solving differential equations
Dutch-sponsored mathematician Valeriu Savcenco has developed new methods for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. These so-called multirate methods are highly efficient for large systems, where some components exhibit more active behaviour than others within the same system.

The Power of Rain: Alternative Energy
Chaillout and his colleagues realized that every time a drop impacts on a surface it is an opportunity missed. Each raindrop has an impact energy that is highly dependent on the size of the drop; from a small drizzle drop that has 2 microjoules on impact, to a downpour size drop that carries 1 millijoule of impact energy.
Mr Michaels World - Animal Man - Home
What separates animals and man most I think is man's ability to collect and store ideas, not only to collect and store ideas as single ideas, but also to combine ideas, and accumulate ideas for further combinations and to continue to rework these ideas and combinations into seemingly new ideas and so on and so forth in seemingly infinite patterns.
