Math, it’s a word that some people use as an expletive to be sure, but once you have a look at some of the beautiful forms an equation can take you might think other wise. Lots of the image samples are in Java form so you can turn and tumble them until your hearts content.

Fermilab Experiment Prepares To Send Its First Neutrinos To Minnesota

This is pretty cool. I wonder if anyone will figure out a method of transmitting data using a neutrino stream. You could beam your it right through anything (including the receiver come to think of it. I guess that could be why it might not happen for a while).

Natural Nuclear Reactors

This is pretty neat, two billion years ago in Oklo Africa there was a particulary rich vein of uranium ore that started to fission. It produced enough heat to leave quartz which crystalized out of the (hot) underground waters that circulated around during and after the reactor’s operating lifetime
