Sun Gazing 101
Super Human Abilities Confirmed by NASA...
The Internet often can have some way out there concepts, ideas, conspiracies, which all have their place in the human story. But this is one of the most intriguing ideas I've come across in a while. The idea is that instead of getting our nutrition from the "normal" way we can get all we need from "Sun gazing (also known as sun-eating) [which] is the strict practice of gradually introducing sunlight into your eyes at the lowest ultraviolet-index times of day – sunrise and sunset."
Read on at the link above or watch the documentaries below and start staring at the sun.

The overview effect... Awesome!
"On the 40th anniversary of the famous ‘Blue Marble’ photograph taken of
Earth from space, Planetary Collective presents a short film documenting
astronauts’ life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside –
a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview
Effect."
Thanks 2E for bringing this to my attention. Coob.

Finding planets
Nasa's Hubble telescope finds signs of water of five distant planets.
(via the Independent)
"Nasa has reported that “faint signatures of water” have been found in the atmospheres of five planets outside our solar system, marking a further development in the search for planets capable of supporting alien life." read the rest
Alien Super-Earths Plentiful in Exoplanet Search.
(via space.com)
"Observations using space-based and ground-based telescopes have indicated that a new class of objects dubbed super-Earths – worlds that are about two to 10 times our planet's mass and up to two times its radius – could be among the most common type of planets orbiting other stars." read the rest

Reality on the radio waves
The BBC radio show, The Infinite Monkey Cage, had a very interesting discussion on consciousness. One of my favourites, Alan Moore, is on the panel.

Mmmm...Tasty electric impulses
Taste Simulator Lets You Relish Virtual Food
"A team of researchers led by Nimesha Ranasinghe at the National University of Singapore have developed a digital simulator capable of transmitting the taste of virtual food and drink to the tongue...
The device consists of a small silver electrode attached to the tip of the tongue. By slightly alternating the current and temperature of the semiconductor, taste receptors can be fooled by signals that replicate the four major tastes: salty, sweet, sour and bitter."

Inner Space and quantum Space
NASA gets itself a quantum computer. What are their plans?
"According to physicist David Deutsch, a quantum system can work on a
million computations at once while a standard desktop PC works on just
one. Put another way, a 30-qubit system would be equal in processing
power to a traditional 10 teraflop machine, which crunches trillions of
operations each second.
These computers will help us find the most expedient solution to a complex problem. As such, they're poised to revolutionize the way we go about data analysis and optimization — including such realms as air traffic control, courier routing, protein modeling, weather prediction, database querying, and hacking tough encryption schemes."

A Neuroscientist's Radical Theory of How Networks become Consciousness
"It’s a question that’s perplexed philosophers for centuries and
scientists for decades: Where does consciousness come from? We know it
exists, at least in ourselves. But how it arises from chemistry and
electricity in our brains is an unsolved mystery.
Neuroscientist Christof Koch, chief scientific officer at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, thinks he might know the answer. According to Koch, consciousness arises within any sufficiently complex, information-processing system. All animals, from humans on down to earthworms, are conscious; even the internet could be. That’s just the way the universe works."
