Elenin Continues To Perplex

Elenin Removes Her Mask, Breath Taking  From You Tube. 


I don't know..  Those Stereo B images are interesting..  Whatever "that" is, is big.

I am troubled, though..  Having lived through multiple comet passages over the course of my 40 plus years, it's interesting to note the lack of coverage Elenin has received. 

Comets have always been a staple of Science/Human Interest.  But not this one..  It's all over the Net, to be sure, but almost nowhere to be found on MSM.  That silence is pretty loud, and that's what troubles me the most.

And the question remains:  What is this thing (or not) that is (or isn't) coming right at /or near us?
Elenin:  Potentially terrifying, totally exhausting.

Still Reading The Bot Report

If you'd like, you can, too!  Go here.

Skylab 2.0 (Zany-Random-Doom-Remix)..

Head's up!  Or not..  No worries, if you're in North America..  Watch Out!  Head fake/Just kiddin'..  BAM!
So remember to keep looking up while hiding underneath something sturdy..  Real sturdy..

Meanwhile, I have a really hard time believing authorities have no way of knowing where the satellite will land, but they do know that it won't be North America..  The best mathematicians and scientists with all their advanced theorems and video and tracking technology can't tell us the trajectory of one satellite and its possible debris trails?  Maybe it is as simple as they say, and I'm the one overestimating the intellectual abilities of Earth's Scientific Elite.  That must be it.  I mean, seriously;  Not even an idea of potential landfalls?

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I can't see that maybe I'm too paranoid..  Or not.  The jury is still out..

The New Webbot Report Is Out Again, So..

I might be back tomorrow night.
Pay attention to Fukushima.  And China's Trade War.  And watch the Sun, but not directly.
Later.. 

Sikkim quake: Two casualties, damage reported

Online gamers crack AIDS enzyme puzzle

Awesome.  The implications are Huge.  Not only for AIDS research, but for the burgeoning awareness and a newfound intellectual power found within a Collective.  From Raw Story.  Excerpts:

Online gamers have achieved a feat beyond the realm of Second Life or Dungeons and Dragons: they have deciphered the structure of an enzyme of an AIDS-like virus that had thwarted scientists for a decade.
..
Their target was a monomeric protease enzyme, a cutting agent in the complex molecular tailoring of retroviruses, a family that includes HIV.

Their weapon?  A science video game.

Developed in 2008 by the University of Washington, it is a fun-for-purpose video game (Foldit) in which gamers, divided into competing groups, compete to unfold chains of amino acids -- the building blocks of proteins -- using a set of online tools.

To the astonishment of the scientists, the gamers produced an accurate model of the enzyme in just three weeks.

Which also leads to a milestone of equal or greater importance:

It is believed to be the first time that gamers have resolved a long-standing scientific problem.

"We wanted to see if human intuition could succeed where automated methods had failed," Firas Khatib of the university's biochemistry lab said in a press release.

"The ingenuity of game players is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems."

One of Foldit's creator's, Seth Cooper had a much less imaginative explanation for the discovery:

"People have spatial reasoning skills, something computers are not yet good at," he said.


Although..


"Games provide a framework for bringing together the strengths of computers and humans. The results in this week's paper show that gaming, science and computation can be combined to make advances that were not possible before."

Advances not possible before.. 

What, and now How, we Create, accelerates..  The Global Consciousness begins to form, to achieve cohesion..  And the Pace continues to quicken.. 

Wow;  We live in Interesting Times!
