This exercise in creative energy features a variety of short scenes, all original material by Bethany students and theatre faculty written, rehearsed, and readied in three weeks. Performed September 19-21 in the Sigurd K. Lee Theater of the Ylvisaker Fine Arts Center.
This is a good community outreach from the University of Maryland

The professor is about to shoot a ping pong ball down the white tube into an aluminum can target at a speed exceeeding that of the speed of sound.
The result will be to punch a hole into the can, as shown by the display in the foreground of cans punctured by ping pong balls.
.. yesterday A. Zeilinger (Univ. Vienna) started his 3-day lectures about information interchange based on quantum physical effects like the entaglement (also called the quantum non-local connection) ..
.. sorry for the bad quality of the pict. ..I'll try to get better one today ..
This is a tale of the faster-than-light neutrinos that weren't and what a rational scientist is supposed to do with an impossible result. nautil.us/issue/24/error/the-data-that-threatened-to-brea...

"Awkward Balance"
This photo was taken at a zoo in California. The giraffe is demonstrating how to maintain its center of gravity. As the giraffe leans further and further down and out over the wall to reach for leaves, he widens his stance, and bends his knees inward. He does this to bring the back half of his body lower to the ground to balance the upper portion of his body. The center of gravity of an individual can be determined by finding the sum of the torques. This means that since he has his head leaning so far down and forward, creating a higher torque at the upper half of his body, the lower half of his body must move down and backward in order to create an equal, but opposite torque to remain in equilibrium (∑T=0). To remain in equilibrium the sum of the forces acting on the object must equal zero, thus the object has no translational acceleration and the sum of the torques must equal zero, thus the object has no angular acceleration.
