Keeping up with the times...

These are some really really exciting and relevant reads from various different areas of interest so hopefully you find something of interest!

Is time travel possible??? Well I don't know about physically traveling through time but you better believe it that the mind sure can...Research has shown that a part of your brain is actually involved in time traveling. So when you are sitting there thinking about the past or if you're day dreaming about how things might be tomorrow or in the future, your mind is actually doing a little time traveling of its own! Pretty crazy to think about the power of the mind and its imagination along with everything else it does!

Is it possible to survive a 500-foot drop??? Regular logic or rationale says no. Science says its possible. Reality is that it happened!!! Pretty crazy story about how this guy may have managed to survive...It's pure physics so beware for words like "terminal velocity", "momentum", "force" and "impulse"...


To kill or not to kill? What do you do when a mother is killing her children? Do you kill the mother and stop her? Or is that a natural response that you should allow? An interesting situation has arose in Germany where a polar bear is killing her cubs instead of raising them. Not sure what to do? The people at the zoo most definitely aren't...

AND a local favorite topic...TRAFFIC! For anyone who lives in LA, visits LA, or has just driven in LA, you know about traffic. We talk about it all the time. This article suggest that the talking is the problem indeed. Its everyone who is on the phone who is adding to the traffic... this study shows you drive slower when you're on the phone! Perhaps its time to talk less and drive more!
