The Big Bang!
But what is this time machine, actually? Firstly it’s an impressive structure, then you try and put below the border between France and Switzerland, near Geneva, the biggest, most complex scientific instrument in the world, to date.
Sungazing…
...is a practice that includes gazing at the sun for nourishment or as a spiritual practice. Looking into the sun is dangerous, and can cause solar retinopathy (damage to the eye's retina) and lead to permanent eye damage or blindness.
Spiked drinks!
Drugs are sometimes used to assist a sexual assault. Because of the effects of these drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse sex, and can't remember what happened. The drugs often have no color, smell, or taste and are easily added to flavored drinks without the victim's knowledge.
Home Alternative Energy Solutions
Unstable nations are usually the ones who supply fossil fuels; therefore, there is the constant need to become off grid and thus, become independent from this type of production.
Graphene
Graphene has an extremely high electrical conductivity, allowing electrons to fly though it almost like photons (particles of light) through a vacuum.
The city is not for everyone!
Have you ever felt alone even if you live in a metropolis with more than 7million other people? I am sure some of you have, at least once!
Help Protect the Ocean!
Sustainable seafood represents a win-win relationship with our oceans that can endure forever. When humans consume seafood, we leave an indelible mark on the ecosystem. It is critically important for our own well-being, and that of the oceans, that we understand the impacts of our choices.
What is coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease (pronounced see-liac, spelled coeliac disease in other countries) is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.

Interplanetary Superhighways
…A solar freeway through space…
Conceived by Martin Lo, the Interplanetary Superhighway theory is currently used by NASA to design Genesis’ flight path to collect solar wind particles on its return to Earth. On April 4-6 2000 the Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron particle telescope on the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft observed a major SEP (Solar Energetic Particle) event associated with two CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections) separated by approximately 8 hr.
The first CME was accompanied by a low-frequency type II radio burst observed by the WAVES receivers on the Wind spacecraft.
Analysis of the high-precision measurements of the ~20 MeV proton flux anisotropy, model fitting of the type II dynamic spectrum, and SEP transport modeling support the idea that the shock wave of the first CME was an efficient accelerator for ~20 MeV protons during only the first 6 hr after the launch.
This shock gradually slowed down, weakened, and became transparent for the protons produced by the second eruption behind the previous CME.
The main production of SEPs due to the two successive eruptions continued together for 12 hr. The near-Earth SEP event was additionally amplified by the SEP mirroring in the interplanetary magnetic field draping at the edge of an old CME beyond the Earth’s orbit, which made the SEP intensity-time profiles more prolonged than would be expected based on the assumption of SEP transport in the standard solar wind.
Lo’s and Howell’s work on the Interplanetary Superhighway for space mission design was nominated for an annual Discover Innovation Award by Discover magazine editors and an outside panel of experts.
