We want everything to taste like bacon. Once you try Bacon Salt on corn-on-the-cob or in your scrambled eggs (which to me tastes better than real bacon in scrambled eggs because it infuses the whole dish with bacon-ny goodness), you'll get it. Bacon Salt picked by Bornbad 1 year ago

A $205 million upgrade will allow a laser-wielding observatory to monitor tens of thousands of galaxies for mysterious gravitational waves. Leading investigators are confident that the Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories) Project will be able for the first time to detect gravitational waves from neutron stars and black holes, as predicted by Einstein's theory of ge... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Magnetic waves ripple through the Sun's outer atmosphere with enough energy to heat the region to its astonishing temperature of millions of degrees, new views from the Hinode spacecraft suggest. If correct, the waves could solve a decades-long puzzle about the source of this heat. Includes video. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago

In response to cb__'s post. This is the sound they are talking about when they mention a high pitched sound only teens can hear. I can still hear it. Can you? picked by zumacrum 6 months ago

Mysterious bands of shadow which sometimes pass across the ground during an eclipse might be produced by sound pulses, according to a new theory.

"Shadow bands" have been observed travelling across the ground before and after totality - when the Moon completely covers the Sun. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Scary how the character comes to mind immediately when you hear a 2 or 3 second sound byte. Maybe I watched too many cartoons as a kid. Naaahhhh. picked by gnikgnok 1 year ago

At 99.997% of the speed of light, these waves generate electrical fields of billions of electron volts in just a few meters. This means that table-top particle accelerators might be possible, which in turn offers the promise that R&D and medical applications of accelerators (which at present are miles long) might be more readily available. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago

I can't believe that someone took the time to do this, but here it is: Orchestration of various Windows WAV files. Yup, that's it, that's chord.wav, ding.wav, chimes.wav, the_microsoft_sound.wav. Takes a little while to get going and actually sounds not bad once it's well under way. picked by ogri2003 1 year ago

Now, a team of researchers working in New Mexico has found traces of life inside salty halite crystals. The discovery is "an invaluable resource for understanding the evolutionary record [of Earth] over a geological time frame." picked by AutumnLotus 2 months ago

Settling a long-standing scientific debate, Los Alamos scientists have demonstrated conclusively how electromagnetic waves accelerate ordinary electrons in the belts of radiation outside Earth's atmosphere to a state where they become "killer electrons," particles that are hazardous to satellites, spacecraft, and astronauts. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago
