Apparently about half of all stars are part of binary system - the rest are singles, and a few triples and quads. Reputable journalism on NASA report on Tyche-- new Kuiper/Oort gas giant or Brown Dwarf Star? (closer than thought now, WISE doing infrared scans, but results aren't fully released). Explains Pluto and Sedna's erratic orbits and also the "shearing" observable at the far edge of the solar system (as expected in Binary Solar system's edge collisions). <br /><br />Here is a report: <a href="http://www.science20.com/science_20/tyche_suns_dead_binary_edge_solar_system-77081">http://www.science20.com/science_20/tyche_suns_dead_binary_edge_solar_system-77081</a><br /><br />And a YouTube video that is somewhat questionable, but has some good graphics and explanations of how a binary star system effects it's twin star. The current theory is that our planets orbit around "our Sun" and the other sun, which is a non-visible brown dwarf star (like a huge planet) is on another orbit, somewhat like a comet, that enters our system every 24,000 to 26,000 years. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7C41znZ6GA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7C41znZ6GA</a>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-74726013439833983982011-09-30T19:02:00.000-07:002011-09-30T19:03:16.024-07:00Occupy Wall Street - Art & Culture Meeting<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rM7kTLKZBRo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-55300318842640707592011-09-30T09:20:00.000-07:002011-09-30T09:23:44.543-07:00IMPACT/COLLAPSE Twin Towers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpM8JMnwk1Ch04p212_vTp5Oaaae5CwyIXOu-aVo3adzVJ_GB5LLLbXIrGgSH1h0RllL2OtgFso6dLr0aeFp3cHDL8uV4OK094PwcWw0XTOfAMCuuouKtHpjudVw7RfUxJK-TTJu_MKfot/s1600/wtc.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 332px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpM8JMnwk1Ch04p212_vTp5Oaaae5CwyIXOu-aVo3adzVJ_GB5LLLbXIrGgSH1h0RllL2OtgFso6dLr0aeFp3cHDL8uV4OK094PwcWw0XTOfAMCuuouKtHpjudVw7RfUxJK-TTJu_MKfot/s400/wtc.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658188803169758354" /></a><br /><a href="http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/impact-collapse.html">http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/impact-collapse.html</a><br /><br />Mark Bain, a sound artist has created this image based on the audio file of the seismological data record during the collapse of the twin World Trade Centers on 9/11.

In 2002 the U.S. government began developing Yucca Mountain as a deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste. Due to geological faults and climate uncertainties the project was terminated; however a seven-mile long maze of excavated tunnels exist beneath the mountain. The U.S. currently has no master plan for permanent disposal of radioactive waste; it is in temporary storage at hundreds of sites across the country. This environmental problem has hardest hit the indigenous peoples of the Western desert lands. I want to raise public awareness, involve communities and initiate discussions through this work.<br /><br />The non-linear narrative of “Slouching Towards Yucca Mountain” involves time travelers who discover the tunnels and question the use and misuse of the so-called “empty wastelands” of the American West. Using tropes and clichés of the Western film and science fiction film genres, a subtext of environmental exposé unfolds in a suspenseful tale: part fact, part fiction. It is set in an ambiguous time period - unstuck in time - partially 19th, 20th and 21st Century. The project reveals American values and beliefs about nature, conquest, the ownership/use of land, and environmental justice issues. It does so with a mixture of creativity, humor, and dead seriousness. The project draws attention to issues of sustainability, renewable vs. non-renewable energy, waste disposition, geological time, and “cowboy extractionary economics.”<br /><br />Laramée and her collaborators shot thousands of still photographs and hours of video footage in Death Valley, California and the ghost towns of Rhyolite and Goldpoint, Nevada, during a residency at the Goldwell Museum 15 miles from Yucca Mountain. Collaborators include New York-based artists Courtney “scrapworm” Wrenn, and Mia Ardito; Montana-based artists Chelsea Noggle, and Michel Tallichet; and Santa Fe-based artists from the Meow Wolf collective, Emily “DJ Dirtgirl” Montoya and Benji Geary.<br /><br />As an interdisciplinary artist who has worked at the confluence of art, science and nature for over thirty years, Laramée’s work examines environmental issues and ecological problems through exhaustive research, activism and creative works. This is the “landscape” where Laramée’s aesthetics and pedagogic ethics merge.Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-2743624642321070372011-09-22T16:22:00.000-07:002011-09-22T16:37:40.836-07:00Quantum EntanglementHere's the Wikipedia entry on Quantum Entanglement<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement</a><br /><br />And a video on the "Weirdness of Quantum Mechanics" <br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9lOWZ0Wv218" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-3857519620360190312011-09-22T15:30:00.000-07:002011-09-22T15:37:20.319-07:00U.S. National Radio Electromagnetic Quiet Zone<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRyWL1g_XzbV3tXmVNkCyoEKCXLpNbYupLNLjJysvaSjXebNEmP9dE74a3AAuDbNWgoAbfYbiVTwqrxyY9xarbNVuGTji1wnhhN-E55wYtpNGLCH03FTYIujF8HsRFbbo6PEKKYOriid8/s1600/trevor.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbRyWL1g_XzbV3tXmVNkCyoEKCXLpNbYupLNLjJysvaSjXebNEmP9dE74a3AAuDbNWgoAbfYbiVTwqrxyY9xarbNVuGTji1wnhhN-E55wYtpNGLCH03FTYIujF8HsRFbbo6PEKKYOriid8/s400/trevor.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655316165253637970" /></a><br />Trevor Paglen's image, <span style="font-style:italic;">They Watch the Moon</span> of a surveillance station in West Virginia, the U.S. National Radio Electromagnetic Quiet Zone, where all electromagnetic activity, including that from cell phones is prohibited.<br /><br />More info: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Radio_Quiet_Zone">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Radio_Quiet_Zone</a>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-22062946951185080092011-09-22T07:34:00.000-07:002011-09-22T08:06:31.950-07:00Placebo - the meaning effect - healers - and love<div>Some of the ways in which were constantly unconsciously effecting and being effected in the world:</div><div><br /></div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bHBwHVbUwig" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><div><br /></div><div>Here's a really interesting study on the effects of music, noise, and "healing energy" on the germination and growth of plant seeds:</div><div><a href="http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/107555304322849039">http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/107555304322849039</a></div><div><br /></div><div>A paper on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on biological tissues - its much more dense and impenetrable because of the terminology but it's worth struggling through.

You may or may not know about Aimee Mullins, but when I watched this video yesterday, knew I wanted to share it with you all. You can take the video however you like, whether or not it relates to your double. It's very inspirational. I felt that "the conversation" that Aimee references about ability, disability, appearance, etc. brought up new ways to look at the human body. Since we've been exploring consciousness and its existence throughout the body, what does it mean for Aimee who's without body parts? Do we need all of our body parts for full consciousness? I don't think so. Especially not after watching this video. I hope you enjoy it :)<div><div><object width="526" height="374"></object></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><embed src="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="526" height="374" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2009U/Blank/AimeeMullins_2009U-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/AimeeMullins-2009U.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=482&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=aimee_mullins_prosthetic_aesthetics;year=2009;theme=speaking_at_ted2009;theme=evolution_s_genius;theme=design_like_you_give_a_damn;theme=what_s_next_in_tech;event=TED2009;tag=Design;tag=Technology;tag=activism;tag=beauty;tag=future;tag=sports;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;"></embed></div><div></div><div><br /></div></div>Deniz Olcayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386499876724828876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840440881373148749.post-32528343898436440842011-09-19T07:55:00.000-07:002011-09-19T08:12:13.573-07:00Solaris<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v65XxSpNNfs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br /></div><div>I thought this film was relevant to what we're thinking about: A psychologist is sent to a space station to investigate a strange but unspecified phenomena.

Soon they realize they may be at the motel for another reason when one by one, people start getting killed off. As tensions flare and fingers are pointed, they have to get to the bottom of why they're there. Meanwhile in an undisclosed location, a psychiatrist is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial.
