“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand – strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming ‘Woo hoo – what a ride!’”

Extraordinary! Quantum teleportation achieved for two remote groups of atoms (atomic-ensemble) the for first time
"(Phys.org)—One of the key components of quantum communication is quantum teleportation, a technique used to transfer quantum states to distant locations without actual transmission of the physical carriers. Quantum teleportation relies on entanglement, and it has so far been demonstrated between single photons, between a photon and matter, and between single ions. Now for the first time, physicists have demonstrated quantum teleportation by entangling two remote macroscopic atomic ensembles, each with a radius of about 1 mm.
The researchers, led by Jian-Wei Pan of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany, have published their paper on "Quantum teleportation between remote atomic-ensemble quantum memories" in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Astronomers snap a picture of a nearby exoplanet!
I have pretty big and exciting news: another exoplanet has been directly seen in a picture taken by astronomers! We know of well over 800 planets, but fewer than a dozen have actually been seen in photos. Planets are dim and stars bright, making this a very difficult observation.

Today astronomers announced a new addition to a very exclusive club: an actual, direct picture of a planet orbiting another star! The newly discovered planet is called Kappa Andromedae b, or κ And b f...

So after the election, what did people start doing? In 27 states, people started to ask for a peaceful secession from the United States of America. Now how do you think that's going to work out?

How much will Obamacare cost YOU?
Well, this is just your DIRECT expense, directly out of your income. This doesn't touch the raising cost of the products and services you buy that will have to raise their prices because of THEIR higher costs... and this isn't about the ridiculously higher prices you're already paying on energy and the higher prices of energy yet to come thanks to this leftist president.
Lowest Fifth means your income is around $11,239, you'll pay $412 more/yr.
Middle fifth means your income is around $49,000, you'll pay $1,984 more/yr.
Highest fifth is $178,000 of income, you'll pay $14,173 more/yr.

I was wrong. I predicted a 330 Electoral College victory for Romney and it turns out instead that Obama could well reach that number (assuming Florida ever finishes counting). I felt a little bit hung over this morning, but I didn’t have any alcohol last night, so it must have been the effects of feeling like my national pride just took a major punch in the gut. I completely misjudged the numbers on this election. I underestimated the number of p...

This is the Qikeng Don in Wulong, China
Amazing!
A newly included natural scenery and hiking highlight in the UNESCO World Heritage List is the Wulong Karst. It has become one of the major attractions around Chongqing for people interested in primitive scenic areas, gorges, wildlife and caves. Wulong is one of the regions named on the World Heritage List’s South China Karst. Other areas named are Libo Karst and Shilin Karst. Three sites in Wulong are thought to be the most important. They are Furong Cave, the Three Natural Bridges, and the Houping Tiankengs.
