For anyone interested in Parkinson's disease, neurology, or early insights to the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell therapy...this book is a really interesting read.
"In 1982, six patients appeared in California clinics displaying mysterious symptoms: their bodies were so stiff that they appeared to be frozen. Langston, currently the president of the California Parkinson's Foundation, was one of the first physicians to examine the patients. He discovered that they had all injected a "designer" drug into their systems that created symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. Through excellent detective work and a good deal of pure luck, Langston located the chemical MPTP, which also produced Parkinsonian symptoms in primates. That discovery was of supreme medical importance, providing Langston and other researchers with the ability to test Parkinson's treatments on animal models. New approaches, including fetal tissue transplantation, could now be pursued. Langston's book intersperses discussions of recent research on Parkinson's while continuing to report on the progress of the "frozen addicts." A fast-paced medical detective format makes this a fascinating and immensely informative work. "
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Theories are challenged and tested all the time ... which is exactly what science is. And it's this testing and challenging that has created more support for the Big Bang theory over the last several decades.

I do like a good wink and I agree.
how will we ever make it to our creator without testing and challenging theories ...
it's a plan.
I'm especially excited about the discoveries of different dimensions
and worm holes for time travel as in the other link ...
I'm ready to train my brain, I already got the gift

Awesome. that is sooo cool.
Why are there so many exposed wires on the ISS? I'd never get past the "fat tax," but if I ever made it up there, I'd be the dimwit who accidentally pulled out the wrong wire and poop would flow all over probably, then air pressure would get fucked up, and my metal underwear would chafe.

Yep! :thumbup:

Come on already, Science! Also, where's my jetpack? :evil:
"Let's check Idaho."
Yes!
not exactly what you're looking for, but i've heard these are becoming more common down here in Fl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-KczCp0OQ4
means we are forever learning.
I prefer to think of it as less "changing of minds" and more "tweaking around the edges and refining."
"Let's check Idaho."
Totally! I've seen videos of these ... pretty awesome! Also good to know if you f-- up and fall, you're going to land on water and not asphalt!
Still, I won't truly be happy until I'm like the Rocketeer ... ya know, flying through the sky, fightin' Nazis, savin' dames ... that type of thing.

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

I like to think how far we'll make it ... I guess our minds are our limit

That being said, the Big Bang is not being "challenged": http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/08/ ... interview/

at first I thought -- Is this the "which one of these things doesnt belong" game?
I pick Nick Cage. What do I win?
But then I realized a freaky trick was being played on me. weird, weird, weird!
"She blinded me with science!"
And hit me with technology
Oh That's Freaky!
