Mysterious flashes could be alien spacecraft at work, Harvard scientists say

*bear in mind these systems are a long ways away in space and time, but hey we can hope*

Like quantum particle spin.

<--> spin 1
some you flip once to get a mirror image

<- spin 2
some you flip twice

? spin 3
some you flip 3X

I think that's how it goes.

Fermions have spin 1/2

I have nerd jokes for you. GET READY TO GROAN!

After a talking sheepdog gets all the sheep into the pen, he reports back to the farmer, “All 40 accounted for.”

“But I only have 36 sheep”, says the farmer.

“I know,” says the sheepdog. “But I rounded them up.”

*

The problem with math puns is that calculus jokes are all derivative, trigonometry jokes are too graphic, algebra jokes are usually formulaic, and arithmetic jokes are pretty basic.

But I guess the occasional statistics joke is an outlier.

*

(sqrt(-shit))^2 – shit just got real

I was going to make an extremely poor taste joke in your women's day thread. Don't make me regret my restraint.

People are loving Cassini's images of Saturn's adorable lil moon, Pan. I have read articles saying it looks like a dumpling, or an empanada. Personally, I think it looks like a pierogi.

This is why people do not trust scientists. They cannot get their stories straight.

The universe is adorable and delicious.

There has been a story floating* around the web lately about a group of Japanese coming up with a way of converting human feces into artificial meat, suitable for human consumption.

No longer a fringe perversion. Main course soon.

Been feeding to the farmed shrimp and tilapia for years.

They feed tilapia and shrimp Taco Bell?


Unreal.

Back in the day it was called 'night soil'. Much more palatable to consumers.

And, people wonder why shrimp right out of the ocean tastes so good.

We won't need to worry about whale hunting. They will just starve to death after we strip the oceans of shrimp. Shit, we grind them up for omega-3 oil capsules.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Biology crash course......everything organic is, in fact, shit.

Everything you think is clean? Actually covered in shit.

Life is shit covered in more shit trying to eat shit.

The end.

Science is a hoax by the Chinese.

Google is canning CAPTCHA because they can identify human users based on how they browse.

I am hyperaware now, of how there can be human in what feels like clicks and clacks.

And that they know.

Woo Hoo!

T-minus 1 year until rocket launch site construction starts in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is familiar with launching ships, but never quite like this.

The province will soon be the site of a $110-million rocket spaceport that will be used to launch commercial satellites into space as early as 2020. On Tuesday, U.S.-based Maritime Launch Services confirmed plans to build the facility near Canso, N.S., and begin construction within one year.

The company hopes to launch eight rockets annually by 2022.

Canso-Hazel Hill was selected from 14 different sites across North America for the Ukrainian Cyclone 4M medium-class rocket. Maritime Launch Services president Steve Matier said the company evaluated "access to polar/sun synchronous orbit, very low population density, proximity to multi-modal transportation, and interest from the community, province and government."

The Ukrainian-built rockets will be able to carry up to 3,350 kilograms of payload and deliver satellites into orbit.
