120,000ft Freefall From Space?

02/09/12 -- Unbelievable

“If his mission is successful, the daredevil will break the records for free-falling from the highest altitude with his plan to jump from the dizzying height of 120,000ft, or 36,000m. What’s more, Felix will also become the first person to smash through the sound barrier without the aid – or protection – of a machine, traveling at approximately 690mph. As well as being the highest ever jump, it will also be the longest – and on his way down the stuntman will collect new scientific data about the human body in certain conditions. Unsurprisingly, this superhuman feat needs a bit of preparation, and Baumgartner and his team have spent the past five years creating and testing the suit needed to withstand the tough conditions.” w/ photos

Science Create Computer That Decodes Your Thoughts?

02/09/12 -- Interesting

“It sounds like the stuff of science fiction dreams – or nightmares. Scientists believe they have found a way to read our minds, using a computer program that can decode brain activity in our brains and put it into words. They say it could offer a lifeline to those whose speech has been affected by stroke or degenerative disease, but many will be concerned about the implications of a technique that can eavesdrop on thoughts and reproduce them. Neuroscientists at the University of California Berkeley put electrodes inside the skulls of brain surgery patients to monitor information from their temporal lobe, which is involved in the processing of speech and images.” w/ photos

Top 13 Contemporary Churches & Chapels

02/09/12 -- Top Lists

“Sacred spaces are slowly moving out of the intricate baroque and Gothic details of traditional church architecture and into cleaner, brighter, more minimalist designs. While a classic cathedral with all of its spires and stained glass will never cease to inspire wonder and awe, there’s something to be said of spare, modern church designs that instigate internal reflection and sharpen the focus of worshipers on the beauty of the building’s natural surroundings. These 13 contemporary structures embrace the future rather than clinging to the past.” w/ photos
