Quoted:
The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries . Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers' produced by fleeting electrons . Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?.

Simple computer program for simulation of simple mechanics

Once again, I am completely amazed at the material available from MIT's OpenCourseWare. I reviewed a couple of Sloan courses this evening. Wonderful service, available to everyone!

Not completely easy, but looks like fun.

Great science page for kids demonstrating teaching techniques from the University of Natal.

"Well-known" neurosurgeon publishes paper on web citing links between cell phones and cancer. Big Media!

First problem is that the one part I actually /know/ about (Bluetooth radiation) is complete rubbish. His "facts" on BT radiation are nonsense as are his conclusions on that.

I've always been frightened by the amount of microwave power in cell phones (not headsets) w/r/t user patterns, but this is the kind of junk science that will only make pointless trouble.

Great set of movies from NASA's TRACE project. Beautiful moving images of coronal activity.
