When you make an audience laugh they love you, they really do love you, and that’s one of the nicest things about being a comedian. When you make people laugh, usually you’ve touched them at a time when they needed some kind of reassurance or they wanted something or they were feeling depressed and then you made them feel better. So there is a sort of healing thing to it.

This is the diffusion (Brownian Motion) of particles  - e.g. cream in coffee. I programmed this for a Computational Physics project, in C and plotted the results in gnuplot, then animated with photoshop.

Unfortunately we live in a time in which Christians are more afraid of being called ‘religious’ than they are of seeing their generation go to Hell.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way the persecuted the prophets before you

The finest gold dust in the world

singularitarian:

Most people value large chunks of gold – but scientists at the Vienna University of Technology are interested in gold at the smallest possible scale, because single gold atoms are potentially the most reactive catalysts for chemical reactions. However, when gold atoms are placed on a surface they tend to ball up into tiny nuggets consisting of several atoms. A team of surface scientists now managed to fix single gold atoms on special sites of an iron-oxide surface. This could open the door to more efficient catalysts, requiring less of the precious material.
