it looks kinda like a angry dinosaur lawl

Good idea for a thread! I'm gonna like posting/reading here

Yes it is a good thread idea isn't it (i got my eye on you)

(Though in the comments wayyyyyyyyyy down the list you'll see a user named OathOblivio. Yeah, That's me. I argued against his logic because t's not right and I have a person who takes technical physics major in college backing me up. READ IT. ITS VERY IMPORTANT.)

 

Watch these guys on Youtube. They are amazing at telling facts about stuff scientifically, and I like it because I is a science nerd...

Video: Ride with the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn

An 8 year long video of Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft compressed into a 4-minute video

And this one I particularly find interesting. The Voyagers are the first two objects from Earth to travel farther than Pluto and all the way outside our solar system. Right now there mission is to break through the Heliosheath.

These are real-time odometers showing how far the Voyagers are

Stem cells made with just seven chemicals by Meghan Rosen

 

 

Whipping up a batch of stem cells just got easier.

A new recipe for transforming adult cells into embryonic-like ones calls for a chemical cocktail to erase signs of age. By adding just seven small molecules, scientists can turn back time for mature mouse cells, converting them into pluripotent stem cells. These cells hover at the brink of developing into virtually any type of tissue.

Researchers have previously created pluripotent stem cells using cloning, or by dosing a dish of adult cells with “master genes” that flip grown-up cells back to a youthful state. But cloning cells and tinkering with genes can be expensive and technically tricky.

So biologist Pingping Hou of Peking University in Beijing and colleagues scoured a collection of about 10,000 chemicals and found a combination that mimicked the cell-programming effects of master genes. Adding the combo to adult mouse cells turned them into pluripotent stem cells, which the researchers could then make into brain, lung or muscle tissue, Hou and colleagues report July 18 in Science.

If the chemical method works in human cells, it could one day make stem cells for medical use, the researchers suggest.

Yikes that video of "IS that a Chicken"

Yikes that video of "IS that a Chicken"

Did you watch it? Heheheheh...

 

Balut is actually and unborn ostrich in it's egg. You have to actually break open the egg and eat the ostrich boiled or raw. It's pretty disgusting. It can be found in Chicago and other northern states. (in america). Just think about it... (trololololo)
