I Can’t Stop Looking at This

Posted by Rick  Published in Interesting, Odd

Hypercube in motion

I was researching some Business Intelligence information like cubes and hypercubes and stumbled upon this transic picture and I can’t stop staring at it.

This link is directly to the wikipedia picture where I got it from and it is liked to the page I found it on in case you’re interested.  This is a hypercube.

Ever Wonder How The World Will End?

Posted by Rick  Published in Interesting, Odd, WTF

I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon this site, let alone this post, but I had to share.  My naive self trusts that the content is real and that there was a good amount of research going on, but regardless, it was captivating to me. 

I found this at a Site called Best of the World (botw).  It’s Simply about 10 disasters that could cause the end of the world.  Again, being naive and uneducated in physical science, it’s amazing to me to see how plausable some of these are.  I have listened to audiobooks of the likes of Steve Hawkings and other physisists, so I kinda know what’s going on in some of these, but it just adds to the complexity that is my understanding of space/time.

You HAVE to check the descriptions and videos on the Site… I just find this stuff to be amazing.  Hope you do to.

Here are the 10 possible ends of the world: 

  1. Particle Accelerators - Very possible
  2. Rogue Black Holes - I’ve been afraid of this one since they were explained to me 20 years ago
  3. Gamma Ray Bursts - Interesting and apparently common
  4. Omega Point - Ummmm, totally don’t get this one, but I’ve read a lot about consiousness and can start to understand it… maybe
  5. Bubble Nucleation - If any of this is true, then why not.  Confusing, but interesting nonetheless
  6. Divine Intervention - Possible, I suppose.  Trying not to think on this one :-o
  7. Solar Flares (Super Flares, to be exact) - Holy crap… cool stuff.  This seems freakishly possible.
  8. Aliens Attack the Earth - As much as I don’t believe, it’s hard not to.  217 planets have been found… WTF?
  9. Global War - This isn’t number 1?
  10. Ecosystem Collapse - This isn’t number 2?  Scary

So anyway, fun stuff.  Always good to know that it could all end any time.  More reason to enjoy life now, right :-)  Dunno much about this site, but thanks to Best of the Web for this intereting article.
