Is It True!!? What We Did Today, Can It Actually Effect What We Did Yesterday?

According to physicist Dr. Jeff Tollaksen from Chapmen University, future events may in fact effect events in the past and present.  In the Discover Magazine article, "Back From the Future,"  Zeeya Merali reports on the series of quantum physic experiments in which Tollaksen and his group found that time may actually flow backwards as much as it does forward.  


While physics is generally not my major area of interest, and most of it is quite over my head, findings such as these really can have serious philosophical implications.  The idea that future events could effect the past does really begin to make you think about the concepts of fate versus free will.  Who knows maybe this idea of quantum physics can explain those random bouts of intuition that everyone experiences once in a while, such as when you think of someone and then they call.  Or like the time I chose a weird way to drive home, as my wife indicated from the passenger seat, but then fortunately missed a high speed police chase chase and a tragic accident by a few seconds.

A little food for thought :) 

Can't get mad! Science and fish say it may simply be male nature.

According to an article at www.physorg.com, Your plaice or mine? Male fish refuse to ask for directions", male fish are quite stubborn especially during breeding season. While in the frisky mood, male fish do not take informational cues from neighboring fish like normal, but rather do the opposite and go their own way. I guess if it works for fish...:)

Really, the children are our future? In that case, how about checking out this charity.

If the children are our future, perhaps we should invest in them. Just a thought :) Not only are they adorable balls of energy and constantly keep the adult on their toes, but if they were to disappear, many of the classic games like hide & seek, freeze-tag, duck-duck-goose, and four-square, would disappear too.  I mean a world without duck-duck-goose is a world I don't want to know. 

So if you can find a good charity that you like (you can check Google for example), please do what you can, there are lot of sick children that need your help. 

One such charity is CureSearch for Children's Cancer.  It is the goal of this non-profit charity to increase advocacy about childhood cancers, while also raising funds for research.  Check them out!  Also, checkout the site for the CureSearch Walk, and see if there are any charitable walks in your area.    

So does beer age like a fine wine? Let's find out!

Seriously does it?

I really don't know

I'm not much of a drinker of beer or wine.  I do love ciders, but that is beyond the point.  Will age really make a beer taste better?  Now we may get to find out.  CNN has reported recently that "World's 'oldest beer' found in shipwreck". 


I always had a soft spot for shipwrecks, hidden treasure, and whatever else that we have found that has given us a glimpse into our history, but now we can get drunk too!

So whose going to be the first to try it?

;)

The ever-changing world...Encourage science

With the ever changing world, and the ever-changing job market, science and technology are the wave of the future. The United States as once the leader in technology and scientific discoveries has fallen behind the much of the world. Our education system is a joke. Our schools have cared more about standardized tests; the image, the masquerade of success, more than they have actually cared about the students.

With the ever-changing world, we too must adapt. Often times we do what we must to protect the children of our future, but protection is not enough, we also must train them, to show them the way; the way to live successfully and honorably. We should them the way to live for something bigger than themselves, and to bring about a future that we all shall be proud. Not only for the better of our neighborhoods, our cities, even our country, but the world as a whole.

While science isn’t the only answer, it is an answer. It can be a great place for many to strive to do their part for the betterment of humanity. Please encourage our kids, and even our adults, for that matter, to approach a career in the sciences. Talk with local schools, donate money to science programs, tutor students, and help with a science fair. Whatever, it is, together we can cure disease, stop world hunger, and reach for the stars.
