There is a very techincal paper this morning by Martin Bojowald that asks the question, How Quantum Is The Big Bang? Let me break it down for you.
If you took a look at empty space and zoomed in on it, looking at spaces so small that they made a proton look like a basketball, you'd find that space…
...and you still get hosed by the U.S. healthcare system. I recently switched jobs (this is a good thing), and the joys of our wonderful healthcare system become so apparent.
Basically, I have to pay far more than I otherwise would to not allow a gap in my coverage (i.e., fork over the bucks to…

When I'm getting clear nights, sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of them, and just go and look outside; the allure of…
"It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the Universe is the ultimate free lunch." -Alan Guth
We've talked about the Big Bang too many times to count, and why it's easily the leading theory regarding the origin of the Universe. It's the only cosmic idea we have that can explain…
I'd be jealous... but I live in Vancouver, so I get pretty similar views. :)
Yeah, but where's your big ufo perched on a tower? :)
Vancouver is beautiful, but don't park your car downtown with anything in it!
Yeah. That really is beautiful. That's the space needle, isn't it? I've heard there's a restaurant in there or something.
Lane: There is (or at least used to be) a restaurant at the top of the Space Needle. I've eaten there once.
Dave: That's the Magnolia neighborhood, right? I'm guessing that from the fact that Mt. Rainier is to the right of downtown--from Queen Anne Hill I'd expect Mt. Rainier to be to the left. (I have family in the Seattle area, but not in Magnolia or Queen Anne Hill. I've never lived there myself.)
And yes, it is possible to get a better view. If you're lucky enough to get a clear day in winter, you might be able to catch the sun rising behind Mt. Rainier. I got that view once through an airplane window during takeoff from Sea-Tac some years ago.
Queen Anne. That's the view from Kerry park. I call it the tourist view because its where they often drop of tourists to take pictures. On nice days there are always photographers taking pictures in the morning.
Just sad that the more pollution the redder the sunrise/sunset....
Pity you missed showing us the best part.. the sea to the right of the picture. Someone give Mr Bacon another camera that can take in more of the view! ;-)
