Newspapers, predictions, holistic science.
Researchers have developed software which could predict future events such as disease outbreak. The prototype software uses a combination of archive material from the New York Times and data from other websites, including Wikipedia. [1] This is a truly innovative work. Finding a way to process all the data existing - and especially "not easily classified…

Pulsars, research, debates...
Pulsars — tiny spinning stars, heavier than the sun and smaller than a city — have puzzled scientists since they were discovered in 1967. Now, new observations by an international team, including University of Vermont astrophysicist Joanna Rankin, make these bizarre stars even more puzzling. The scientists identified a pulsar that is able to dramatically change…

Quantum mechanics, Interpretations, Subjectivity
Quantum mechanics is a weird thing. Something like the last frontier of Science, it poses extreme questions which make us wonder about fundamental issues - like the role of measurement in what we see happening. It goes to the hear of the biggest problems of existence - i.e. what is a particle, what is mass…

Statistics, data analysis, "science"...
Science from the masses and for the masses. [1] This is how things are done today. Statistics and data analysis is the basis of modern science. Well, actually statistics and data analysis is EVERYTHING there is in science today. Clever and truly innovative ideas are just something one can read only in history of science…

Dark Matter, wants, desires...
The Universe's highest-energy light could finally yield clues to the nature of the "dark matter" that makes up some 85% of the Universe's mass. The Fermi space telescope, designed to catch gamma rays, has seen hints of evidence for dark matter in high-energy gamma rays seen at the galaxy's centre. [1] The search for Dark Matter…
