    Science, implying, lying...

    Surfing through the science news, one might come across a rather interesting case: Scientists have fabricated an artificial protein in the laboratory and examined the effects it has on living organisms. [1] Well, what is so important about that? one might ask. The importance is not on the news themselves. It is on the way they…

Suppose you wanted to design it and built it in a way so that its phenomenal size would be EXACTLY the same as the phenomenal size of the Sun on the sky. How successful do…

    Time reversal, "Time" and "time"...

    Researchers at the University of Maryland have discovered how to transmit power, sound or images to a "nonlinear object" without knowing the object's exact location or affecting objects around it using a "time-reversal" technique. [1] The time-reversal process is like playing a record backwards. When a signal travels through the air, its waveforms scatter before…
