Calling all space freaks... Columbia, the Apollo 11 Command Module, is on display at The Smithsonian, where you have to view it from some distance and have only limited views into the interior. Now the museum and Autodesk have laser-scanned the interior and exterior of the craft, and made the high-fidelity 3D models available here: http://3d.si.edu/apollo11cm/ Easily navigable entry point is this auto-play annotated step-through of the interior: http://3d.si.edu/apollo11cm/boxes/play-cm-ext-rc6-int-rc5/cm-interior.html

Just to offend everybody all at once...

They met in the autumn of 1961 at the Solvay meeting. In the book The Strangest Man by Graham Farmelo, both of them, according to the author, had the following Pinter-esque exchanges: Feynman: I am Feynman. Dirac: I am Dirac. [Silence] Feynman: (Admiringly) It must have been wonderful to be the discoverer of that equation. Dirac: That was a long time ago. [Pause] (Editor’s Note: The equation was formulated in 1928) Dirac: What are you working on? Feynman: Mesons. Dirac: Are you trying to discover an equation for them? Feynman: It is very hard. Dirac: (Concluding) One must try. Read more: http://www.therakyatpost.com/columnists/2014/11/11/dirac-vs-feynman-two-different-physicists/#ixzz4FNIYFU5q

Rather incredibly great news. Stem cell trial suggests damaged heart tissue could be regenerated Small-scale study that injected stem cells into patients’ hearts during surgery offers hope to those with cardiac disease https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jul/24/stem-cell-trial-suggests-damaged-heart-tissue-regenerated

Sealing my eternal fate...

And then they wonder why they can't charge the rates they used to. All right, that's my meanness for the day.

It works! THANK YOU!!!

Fascinating!

Let's have turnips.

I sort of like it.

Sounds like a porn star.

LMAO EOY award gives a whole new meaning to the term junk jewelry.

You really think? Every liberal I know is scared enough by Trump that they would vote for Hillary several times over if Cook County rules still prevailed.

Sorry.

Pretty good analysis. The Case for Tim Kaine http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/case-for-tim-kaine.html

Moore is right to try and scare lefties into being sure they get out and vote. But his portrayal of the rabid devotedness of Trump supporters is at great odds with journalists' reports of what actually goes on at Trump rallies. Dave Eggers for instance did a long piece on how big crowds come to see the showman, but then start drifting away midway through his speechifying. Lots of rubbernecking interest to see the freak show; not so much committed participation. And what MsAnn said above: polls measuring overall lumped-together voter sentiment are one thing; the math & path through the electoral college is quite another. He ain't got it.

Well worth watching. Ebert's review got it exactly right.

Everything he said.
