So, 2011 has come and gone (almost) and we are looking 2012 in the eye. To make one thing absolutely clear: The world will not come to an end in 2012. The Maya never predicted that. Some half-wit with some vaguely New Age inspired idea came up with that. Check out this Skeptoid episode for [...]

CNN recently featured an article about the future of science up to 2021, as predicted by the Institute for the Future. According to the Institute, the future looks something like this: This looks like something out of a cyberpunk/space opera novel. Although I find some of the concepts presented in the map quite intriguing, some [...]

Actually, it did not, in case you did not notice. Inspired by Symphony of Science (see below) I dug around for the videos containing the lyrics. One particular enlightning one I discovered in the process is this presentation by Brian Cox: Beautiful! I say this again: Education was fashionable during the reign of Victoria and [...]

My friend Alex of The Gearheart fame needs your help! As some of you may know, his son has rather severe autism. Alex and his wife have found a therapy that works and helps ‘The Professor’, as the little guy is lovingly called, learning to speak and cope. But it comes with a hefty price-tag [...]

As an astronomy geek, I simply had to share this one, the launch of the Mars Science Laboratory: Apart from the obvious science and sheer power of technology involved in here, it is also interesting to see how much actual space travel differs from early visions. Although rockets have been around for centuries, even millenia, [...]

Phil Plait (I featured a video of one of his talks before) strikes again. Please enjoy this talk and presentation he gave at TED in Boulder, Arizona, about how to defend the earth from asteroids. A very important point. Why? Do you know why the dinosaurs died out? They did not have a space program [...]

Nicely done. If the Bible would contain anything even remotely pertaining to the science in this image, some clear statement, I would consider devine inspiration. Alas, all you find are obscure, vaguely poetic verses. People who looked at this item also looked at… Classic Belgian Comics – A Pinch of Dieselpunk Zeppelin Artwork Convention Logo [...]
