specks of interstellar dust organize into DNA-like double helixes and
display properties normally attributed to living systems, such as
evolving and reproducing, new computer simulations show.
But scientists are hesitant to call the dancing dust particles
“alive,” and instead say they are just another example of how difficult
it is to define life.

Today, for only the second and final time, I’ll be using MY Sunday
radio show, which starts at 3:06 PM Eastern (2:06 PM Central, 1:06 PM
Mountain, and 12:06 PM Pacific), to launch a DownsizeDC.org campaign —
A Backdoor Real ID Card.

The Danish Prime Minister said something the other day that you won’t hear many other statesmen in OECD countries say:
Namely that petrol prices need to be raised drastically in order to
clear the way for environmentally-friendly technology and to free us

'Slow' light to speed up the net
A huge increase in the speed of the internet could be produced by slowing parts of it down, say researchers.
Applying the brakes could be the “metamaterials” that may make it possible to create invisibility cloaks. The net’s speed limit comes about not in transporting information, but in routing it to its various destinations. Metamaterials could replace the bulky and slow electronics that do the...
July was a busy month in Congress, as the honorable servants of the
people rushed to get bills passed before their five-week vacation.
Through August 1, the Senate passed 39 bills totaling 2,022 pages,
while the House passed 92 bills and 2,267 pages. Fairly “impressive,”
considering that the Senate was in session for 20 days and the House
for just 15 during the month.
Many of these...

Surpassing Nature, Scientists Bend Light Backward
Using tiny wires and fishnet structures, researchers at the University
of California, Berkeley, have found new ways to bend light backward,
something that never occurs in nature. This technology could lead to microscopes able to peer more deeply
and clearly into living cells. And the same kind of structures might
one day be adapted to bend light in other unnatural ways, creating a Harry...

5 Scientific Theories That Will Make Your Head Explode
Quote of the Day:
“Do you want our government to have the ability to track where you
went, how you went, how you got there and when you got home? It would
be naïve for someone to think this information will not be abused in
the future. Virtually every decade these kinds of files have been used
to violate people’s privacy.”
