You welcome, Mark. Morgan seemed to dose of during a interview today. Yes, even God, can take a nap. |

Roll over Einstein: meet Weinstein
(Message 1371241)

here is another link from WinterKnight, post. Eric Weinstein may have found the answer to physics' biggest problems by Marcus du Sautoy There have already been feelings within the physics community that the Higgs boson we are seeing in the LHC might not be quite what we think it is. Weinstein's perspective might help us articulate what it is we are actually seeing. I myself can't see particles accelerated in the manor the LHC does. One can·not duplicate the exact moment in time, when all particles came into existence. snip: Weinstein begins the paper in which he explains his proposal with a quote from Einstein: "What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." Weinstein's theory answers this in spades. Very little in the universe is arbitrary. The mathematics explains why it should work the way it does. If this isn't a description of how our universe works then frankly I'd prefer to move to the universe where it does! |

I watch and rewatch all of the scientific programs that Brian Cox presents. Somehow his enthusiasm rubs off and I get excited all over again. The same with Morgan Freeman's programs. I also like Michio Kaku, Max Tegmark, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Bob, Morgan will be back with wormhole June 5, 2013. Morgan, fell asleep during and interview today, imagine that. I'm not kidding. @Glenn, Brain Green too Lynn and Brian Cox they explain things in a simple language us simpletons can understand, very good. |

Power of Moore tornado dwarfs Hiroshima bomb WASHINGTON (AP) - Everything had to come together just perfectly to create the killer tornado in Moore, Okla.: wind speed, moisture in the air, temperature and timing. And when they did, the awesome energy released over that city dwarfed the power of the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. On Tuesday, the National Weather Service gave it the top-of-the-scale rating of EF5 for wind speed and breadth, and severity of damage. Wind speeds were estimated at between 200 and 210 mph. The death count is 24 so far, including at least nine children. The United States averages about one EF5 a year, but this was the first in nearly two years. |

Kepler Mission Manager Update Following the apparent failure of reaction wheel 4 on May 11, 2013, engineers were successful at transitioning the spacecraft from a Thruster-Controlled Safe Mode to Point Rest State at approximately 3:30 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. The spacecraft has remained safe and stable in this attitude and is no longer considered to be in a critical situation. |

Mars Curiosity Rover - Mission Progress

NASA Mars Rover Curiosity Drills Second Rock Target PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has used the drill on its robotic arm to collect a powdered sample from the interior of a rock called "Cumberland." Plans call for delivering portions of the sample in coming days to laboratory instruments inside the rover. This is only the second time that a sample has been collected from inside a rock on Mars. The first was Curiosity's drilling at a target called "John Klein" three months ago. Cumberland resembles John Klein and lies about nine feet (2.75 meters) farther west. Both are within a shallow depression called "Yellowknife Bay."  NASA's Mars rover Curiosity drilled into this rock target, "Cumberland," during the 279th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (May 19, 2013) and collected a powdered sample of material from the rock's interior. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS There were two mars movies made. One of them had bugs come out to make oxygen. (Sorry can't remember the movie. I want to see bugs, and the face on mars. This rock stuff is getting old. |

The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office says death toll is now 51 after a destructive tornado with winds up to 200 mph swept through Moore, Okla., and surrounding areas. My heart goes out to everyone. Prayers for Moore Okla. |

Close call: Massive two-mile-wide asteroid will miss Earth, according to NASA It’s another close call. NASA scientists say an asteroid nearly 2 miles in length will pass by the Earth on May 31. While it won’t be visible to the naked eye or amateur astronomers, its 3.6 million mile distance from the Earth qualifies as a relatively near approach. One day a asteroid or comet, will hit us. |

It's 1.7 miles long. Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue. If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global extinction. Good thing it is just making a flyby. We have some hope?? Obama seeks $17.7 billion for NASA to lasso asteroid, explore space |

Good thing it is just making a flyby. Asteroid 1998 QE2 will make its closest pass to Earth on May 31 at 1:59 p.m. PDT. Dark, massive asteroid to fly by Earth on May 31 NASA, better monitor this one. |

Opportunity Breaks NASA's 40-Year Roving Record After nine years of hard Mars roving, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity has broken a 40-year-old extraterrestrial distance record. On Thursday, the tenacious six-wheeled robot drove 80 meters (263 feet), nudging the total distance traveled since landing on the red planet in 2004 to 35.760 kilometers (22.220 miles). NASA’s previous distance record was held by Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt when, in December 1972, they drove their Lunar Roving Vehicle 35.744 kilometers (22.210 miles) over the lunar surface. Yea!!! |

Water on Mars?? NASA’s Opportunity rover examines rock unlike any other, discovers signs of water on Mars For the past several months all eyes have been on NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover. However, it now seems that one of Curiosity’s predecessors Opportunity, may discovered signs of water on Mars. |
