- Huge dark matter experiment finds nothing but more mysteries – “Basically, we saw nothing. But we saw nothing better than anyone else so far,” is the best and most science-y quote ever. From Amy.
- Mary Ibrahim: Freethinker Syrian refugee in need of your help – From Heina.
- The worst part is not – Short but moving piece and here’s the follow-up. From miserlyoldman.
- College Atheists place “God Graveyard” on campus – Asking the question how long will the gods of today last?
I friggin’ loved that quote in the LUX article.
Through the scope I do stare
Spied some matter that wasn’t there
It wasn’t there again today
Wish I could s’plain it all away
When I read a book or three
Dark matter is predicted there for me
But when I try to make a call
I cannot see it there at all
Fact or fiction I really don’t care!
But undetectable is just not fair!
Through the scope I do stare
Spied some matter that wasn’t there
It wasn’t there again today
Wish I could s’plain it all away
apologies to Hughes Mearns :)
