Don't even watch. Just turn up the sound.

A stylish new car pulls up to the U.N. climate talks

Today's post is written by a guest, Kelly Kilpatrick, about language learning.

Does 'time' actually exists in the sense we believe it to? Most will look upon this question and then ponder how insane I am, or what drugs I must be taking. But, even just for a little light humour, please read on and post a (mature) comment :-)

This deepest and most long-standing of all problems in fundamental physics still needs a revolutionary new idea or two for which we are still grasping. More revolutionary even than time-reversal. Far more revolutionary and imaginative than string theory. In this post I’ll take a personal shot at an idea — a new kind of duality principle that I think might ultimately relate gravity and information.

Growdiesel Climate Care Council is pleased to invite you to the inaugural International Summit on Energy Farming to be held on 12th & 13th April 2009 at New Delhi, India. The Summit is focused on adopting financially viable energy farming activity for generating feedstock for next generation of Biofuels besides producing fertilizers, food & feed.

Matt Springer may not have been throwing down the gauntlet in his Oct. 21 post, but I'm picking it up. He says cognitive science is much harder than physics. He sees that as a knock against cognitive science, but is it as a knock against physics?

Two groups of pilot whales stranding on Tasmania are from the same pod and injured by the same earthquake.

The objective is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of natural resource.

Introduction:

To support the National Water Quality Management Strategy, though the adoption of a package of market-based and regulatory measures including the establishment of appropriate water quality monitoring and catchments management policies and community consultation and awareness.

The COAG (1994), ARMCANZ (1996), ANZECC (1996), NWQMS (1995) refers to a number of approaches to groundwater protection, often expressed in broad terms, the degree to which these have been taken up by States1 is very limited and inconsistent. Moreover, the Guidelines are focused mainly on the broad-scale protection of groundwater quality and make only limited reference to the management of groundwater near contaminated sites or to the remediation of contaminated groundwater.

There is concern among groundwater resource managers that groundwater quality protection is not being adequately addressed at the policy level. Therefore, here some works prepared with the aim of promoting improved protection, and where necessary enhancement, of groundwater quality.

The pod of pilot whales stranded on Anthony's Beach near Stanley Tasmania were injured 25 days prior to beaching by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake in the seafloor below where the pod was feeding.
