What?

The following is a sampling, and short descriptions, of some topics I bookmarked c.2008. At most, it is only meant to throw you some ideas for things to ask Google and think about. It's no more than that. I'm definitely not displaying any use of the scientific method, or journalistic due diligence, with the content of this document.

Cave of Crystals

Crystal Cave Mexico: "A sort of south-of-the-border Fortress of Solitude, Mexico's Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) contains some of the world's largest known natural crystals; translucent beams of gypsum as long as 36 feet (11 meters). "
- Giant Crystal Cave Comes to Light, Stefan Lovgren and Ted Chamberlain, National Geographic News, April 9, 2007

Commercial & Private Space Exploration

Private Space Exploration: Google search.
Bigelow Aerospace: "Bigelow Aerospace is dedicated to developing next-generation crewed space complexes to revolutionize space commerce and open up the final frontier to all of humanity. At Bigelow Aerospace, we're building the future today!"
Space Exploration Technologies Corporation: "In an era when most technology based products follow a path of ever-increasing capability and reliability while simultaneously reducing costs, launch vehicles today are little changed from those of 40 years ago. SpaceX aims to change this paradigm by developing a family of launch vehicles which will ultimately reduce the cost and increase the reliability of space access by a factor of ten."
Virgin Galactic: "Virgin Galactic is the world's first spaceline. Giving you the groundbreaking opportunity to become one of the first ever non-professional astronauts. Virgin Galactic will own and operate its privately built spaceships, modelled on the remarkable, history-making SpaceShipOne."

Medieval Humans Did Not Think Earth Is Round

Flat Earth Myth: "Many of us have laboured under the impression that people were concerned that he would sail off the edge of the Earth which was widely believed to be flat. History is thought to have vindicated Columbus against those filled with the Christian superstition of a flat Earth who held on to old fashioned beliefs. A minority of people are even under the impression that Galileo's trial centred on the subject rather than whether the Earth orbited the sun."
- The Myth of the Flat Earth, Bede's Library, James Hannam 2002. Revised: 29 December, 2007.

Plague, and Plague-Equivelency

CHRONOLOGY OF CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS RELATED TO RADIATION AND HUMAN RESEARCH: "The Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE), was created by President Clinton on January 15, 1994 to investigate and report on the use of human beings as subjects of federally funded research using ionizing radiation."
- National Security Archive
EMERGING VIRUSES: AIDS & EBOLA - Nature, Accident or Intentional?: "All at once, it seems, new viruses and virus-related diseases have threatened the health of humans and many animal species. How did this situation arise? Could it be that scientific studies and the emergence of new pathogens are not totally unrelated events?"
- Emerging Viruses, Foreward, W. John Martin, M.D., Ph.D.

Prediction

Predictive Linguistics: Google search.
Half Past Human: "We employ a technique based on radical linguistics to reduce extracts from readings of dynamic postings on the internet into an archetypical database. With this database of archtypical language, we calculate the rate of change of the language. The forecasts of the future are derived from these calculations."
The Arlington Institute: "We have made it our mission to help facilitate this transition, and to connect and associate with like-minded people so that we may together embrace the opportunities of this future. In the broadest sense, we help leadership from all sectors chart the most direct course to preferred futures by: * Sweeping in real-time thousands of Net and News sources. * Tracking and evaluating major scientific, technological, social, demographic, and environmental forces that drive change."
Urban Survival: "UrbanSurvival offers daily analysis from the long wave/longwave economic perspective on today's breaking news and economic reports. In addition to financial site and business links, and the debate over "stocks vs bonds", our Free Daily Business News Update is our most popular report."

Large Hadron Collider

Large Hadron Collider: Because we all know that you know nothing about a thing until you've smashed it real good.
Hackers attack Large Hadron Collider computers to prove they're vulnerable: Oh nevermind, let's just turn it on anyway.
Large Hadron Collider setback after helium leak in one of magnets: Cold day, Hell, etc.
Hadron Collider and Shiva: Oh, that's cute, smartasses.
Shiva the destroyer presides over Big Bang mock-up: "The Department of Atomic Energy gifted a two-metre bronze statue of the Nataraja to CERN on June 18, 2004 to celebrate the centre's India connection."
- Satyen Mohapatra , Hindustan Times, New Delhi, September 10, 2008
Shiva As Nataraja - The Lord of Dance: "Because You love the Burning-ground, I have made a Burning-ground of my heart - That You, Dark One, hunter of the Burning-ground, May dance Your eternal dance."
~ Bengali Hymn~
