The SKA Logo
The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will be the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope when it is completed.
Using Interferometry, which is the linking together of radio telescopes to create a larger virtual telescope known as an Interferometer, the SKA will combine thousands of linked radio wave receptors that will be located in Australia and Southern Africa. Ten countries across these two continents will share the location of this mind-boggling project.
ALL SIGNALS FROM THE ANTENNAS IN EACH REGION WILL COMBINE and create a collecting area equivalent to A DISH WITH AN AREA OF ABOUT 1,000,000 METERS. Read more of this post

Walter ‘Heisenberg’ White doesn’t make mistakes like this – for he is an empire himself.

This guy is the definition of a true legend. An amazing human being. A leader. A role model. A champion. The list goes on and on, and he is the obvious face of the NFL. If the NFL were to ever change the name of the Super Bowl trophy, his name would be the best fit.

People become aware of events not through personal experience but rather through media manipulation. Media Manipulation is such that people from around the world can be rendered into an extreme level of fear from an event that has absolutely nothing to do with their own personal reality.
If media did not engage in the manipulative process of media saturation, in regards to a shooting that 99.9% of the human population did not even know existed, then 99.9% of the human population would not even know or care about the event itself. Read more of this post

Our atmosphere is filling up with CO2 and we seem to be the major cause of that. The generally accepted solution seems to be cutting back on emissions as quickly as possible, but implementing such cuts is problematic because everyone has to agree to do more, which essentially ends up costing a lot of time and money.
There is an alternative to such measures, though. Instead of relying entirely on cutting emissions, why don’t we start taking CO2 out of the atmosphere? That’s exactly what biochemist Pierre Calleja is trying to do, and his solution almost sounds too good to be true.
Calleja has developed a lighting system that requires no electricity for power. Instead it draws CO2 from the atmosphere and uses it to produce light as well as oxygen as a byproduct. The key ingredient to this eco-friendly light? Algae. Read more of this post

There seems to be a lot of tension between multiple countries regarding this Cold War that North Korea has started. The fact of the matter is that North Korea has no chance against its current enemies because of their lack of army and suitable weapons. They may possess some sort of nuclear weapon, but not nearly advanced enough to reach the United States.
It just sucks for South Korea to have to be so close to this totalitarian, Stalinist dictatorship with an elaborate lowest-ranking human rights records of any country. Something is going to have to happen soon.
I’m sure South Korea loves knowing that we have their back. Check out these pictures illustrating our alliance.
