From Publishers Weekly
There is far more to the universe than meets the eye: invisible dark matter and dark energy constitute the vast bulk of the cosmos and are responsible for its accelerating expansion. Gates, assistant director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, explores the science of these invisible phenomena and the questions they raise about the universe's origins, its present and its future. Gates explains how scientists discovered the existence of dark matter and their theories about the nature of the particles (with names like WIMPs) that form it. Astrophysicists have found tools to measure the invisible mass: the stars themselves. Drawing on Einstein's theory of general relativity, scientists can see dark matter using gravitational lensing—by measuring the deflection of light around a cosmic object, they can measure the object's mass. Presenting complicated topics concisely and clearly, Gates explains what we know about the universe, what scientists wish they knew, and what's at stake—the fate of the universe itself. 8 pages of color and 40 b&w illus.

The version of All You Need Is Love in Across the Universe is fantastic. One of my favorite contemporary movies.
Little kids like to call it treasure hunt instead of scavenger hunt. Scavenger hunt sounds a little bit more mature than treasure hunt.

Yes, the space between the optics is what it is all about. The curvature of the lense also is key in determining x (Powers)
Theories Roundup Episode 6 – Sundown. Lost continues on and so does the overactive minds of the fans. Here’s this weeks theories. … What if the John Locke which we see in the F/S universe isn’t John Locke at all but is still MiB. Matthew Fox has said that the F/S and original timeline will merge before the end of the season, maybe this happens due to MiB being in this F/S timeline and manipulating things. Some would argue that John Locke’s personality in the F/S rules …

Controversial Whale Wars captain Paul Watson has spiced up opposition to the Canada seal hunt — offering $50,000 to anyone who can prove Harp seals wastefully eat cod. Canadian senators – in a snub to the EU – promise to keep seal meat on Parliament’s menu for as long as the animals are in season.
It’s not a good idea to incorporate every beatles song in one story line. It just will not work.
you will soon grow tired at looking at the moon(took me nine months though) and will want to observe other planetary and galactic events. i would suggest look up in your area a astronomy
club, there you can look at and use a lot of different telescopes
and be able to find one that meets your needs, but let me warn you…. once you are hooked at looking at the stars….. you will never be the same again, you will feel small, very small.
the universe is your stage upon which you dance, led by your heart.
Google has special privileges on youtube, that’s how.

25:30 I was the first one to come up with a gravity hypothesis that is better than Einstein’s. It even predicts the gravitational effect called dark matter and the inflating effect called dark energy. They stem from the same mechanism that causes gravity. It is so simple that I cannot believe it was not thought of before.
I'm good Thanks, just got home from a hunt, and what about you? *smiles*
Check Out Mr. Rei Weiss Now.. he following behind Einstein, check-out His Invention.. WOO WEEE……
Hey mate. Do you know how to be able to tell the difference between warm wind & moist wind?
Check in the info on the right hand side in the video description. I have the link to the official site there. You can download stacks of videos.

Poor Batterys … You should really use a charging controller . Lead Acid Batteries really dont like too high charging voltages (and to high charging current) .. this will kill the battery very fast. and since good controllers are switch mode devices they can also use very low voltages coming from the generator to create a usable charging voltage for the batterys, even if the output of the generator is lower then the needed voltage. you pollute too if you have to buy a new battery every 2 month.
