^^good stuff.




Extraterrestrial Life May be Common Around Binary Stars - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/extraterrestrial-life-may-common-around-binary-stars-145506511.html)

Meant to post this Monday.

Planets orbiting binary star systems have to deal with the stresses of more than one star. But new research reveals that close binaries could be as good as singles when it comes to hosting habitable planets. Low-mass twins could make the best hosts, because their combined energy extends the habitable region farther away than would exist around a single star.

Higgs Boson has been named the new Pope because he gives the best Mass.

A Higgs boson walked into a bar and caused a mass panic.

The Higgs Boson is a great news reporter because it has positively no spin

Nice.

Scientists produce cloned embryos of extinct frog (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130315151044.htm)

Crazy implications for biodiversity and medical advancements. I wonder if the cells would stay viable enough for us to begin mapping their genome.

Higgs-Boson got into a fight the other day, it ended when it called "no mass".

10 Scientific Laws and Theories You Really Should Know (http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/scientific-experiments/10-scientific-laws-theories.htm)

A scientific theory often seeks to synthesize a body of evidence or observations of particular phenomena. It's generally -- though by no means always -- a grander, testable statement about how nature operates. You can't necessarily reduce a scientific theory to a pithy statement or equation, but it does represent something fundamental about how nature works.

Both laws and theories depend on basic elements of the scientific method, such as generating a hypothesis, testing that premise, finding (or not finding) empirical evidence and coming up with conclusions. Eventually, other scientists must be able to replicate the results if the experiment is destined to become the basis for a widely accepted law or theory.

Very yay!

Strange Sleep Disorder Makes People See 'Demons' (http://news.yahoo.com/strange-sleep-disorder-makes-people-see-demons-152946861.html)

Sleep paralysis experiences are almost certainly behind the myths of the incubus and succubus, demons thought have sex with unsuspecting humans in their sleep. In many cases, MacKinnon said, the science of sleep paralysis explains these myths.

However it doesn't explain the stains or pubic hair and broken nails.
