Animals communicate with each other, and sometimes with us. But that’s where the similarity between animals and us ends, as Jason Goldman explains.

Introduction
I must admit that I was amazed at what Felix Baumgartner accomplished. As I watched the video, I found myself focusing on the video’s display of Felix’s speed versus time.

Je ne connais qu'un groupe visiblement inspiré par la science : Muse. Dans les albums "Supermassive Black Hole", "HAARP", "Black Holes and Revelations", "Starlight", "Butterfly and hurricanes" et "Origin of Symmetry", outre les titres, les références sont très discrètes : on devine un voyage interstellaire dans les paroles de "Starlight" mais on en reste souvent à la simple figure de style comme dans "Neutron Star Collision" ou "Supermassive Black Hole". Ca évolue un peu avec le dernier album de Muse baptisé "The 2nd Law" en l'honneur du deuxième principe de la thermodynamique

Ominously, it’s called CARMA. The cycle of cause and effect--what goes around comes around--is perhaps an appropriate name for the Carbon Monitoring for Action (CARMA) tool, which tracks the greenhouse gas emissions from 60,000 power plants...

Today, the world consumes 120 million tons of the chemical ethylene to make the world’s most widely used plastics. Almost all of that ethylene is derived from fossil fuels.

Physicist: There are a lot of subtleties to this. Reading the question, your gut reaction should be “Duh, it’s 100%! Wait, is this really a question?”.

By Ian Steadman, Wired UK
The lesson of the Jurassic Park tragedy was clear — man and dinosaur were not meant to coexist. It’s lucky then that dinosaur fossils are far too old to contain any genetic material that could be used for cloning.

Is disagreement in teams always a bad thing? Although we don't always welcome it, we can probably agree that differences of opinion can be healthy under the right conditions. But identifying these conditions has been a challenge.

Spinning Galaxy
NGC 3344 is a glorious spiral galaxy around half the size of the Milky Way, which lies 25 million light-years distant. We are fortunate enough to see NGC 3344 face-on, allowing us to study its structure in detail.

"The web is the Grand Oracle. It sees all and answers all. I wish we had the educational and self-learning edge it gives to today’s generation. In a snap, you can tap it to ask anything about the world we live in, and generally it is pretty accurate answering back. Perhaps, apart from the ‘question of life’ it can answer anything. Who knows, someone might come up with that answer too in due time. But for now, from the purely scientific point of view, you can ask away about life sciences…and all the associated disciplines.
We have our own platform for questions and answers, and that’s where a reader asked us about some good websites on questions related to science, particularly physics and chemistry? He got the help he needed. Perhaps, with the help of this post and the seven websites mentioned here, you will too...."
