Mathletes, science enthusiasts, and mere physics and/or numerical dilettantes alike may appreciate that March 14 is both the 136th birthday of Albert Einstein — the most important physicist of the 20th century — and, less meaningfully, what some egghead wisenheimers (and the decidedly less egghead U.S. Congress) have designated as Pi Day; as in the mathematical constant π (pi), or 3.14 (etc.), or 3/14… Get it?
On February 12, 1809, two extremely important men were born; one in a log cabin in the wilds of Kentucky, the other in a big, fancy house in Shrewsbury, England.
Two years ago, Austrian BASE jumper and daredevil, Felix Baumgartner, became a household name for breaking the world altitude record, parachuting from near the top of the stratosphere and falling faster than the speed of sound.
What some are calling a “magic” or “mysterious island” on the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, has scientists — and even more so we Internet folks who attempt to write about scientists — a bit confused.
Dr. David Kipping of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and his colleagues, have discovered an exoplanet with the longest known orbital period.
Popular TV host, science educator, engineer, and all-around “pro-science” personality, Bill Nye “The Science Guy” (PeekYou profile here), was the focus of much buzz this week for his live, streaming head-to-head debate — called “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?” — with “young world creationist,” and Creation Museum president, Ken Ham (PeekYou profile here).
In the early 1980s, physicist Andrei Linde (PeekYou profile here), first theorized that during the fractions of microseconds that followed the “Big Bang,” gravitational waves forced a period of rapid inflation; expanding massively our nascent universe. Very recently, scientists discovered that he was correct, and the moving video clip below captures the moment that Linde himself learns of this discovery.
Announced via taped message at Science Channel’s SXSW Interactive event on Saturday are plans to launch a multi-format series inspired by the incredibly popular Facebook page, I F***ing Love Sciene.
