Robot gel self propels like an inchworm

Without any mechanical or electronic part, this thingy created by Shuji Hashimoto applied physics laboratory crawls like caterpillar, powered and controlled by an oscillating chemical reaction. Limited only for their lab bench for now, I think this invention is great for toy before it becomes intelligent and set out to destroy human race.

Watch the video - Chemical 'caterpillar' points to electronics-free robots.

Intriguing hovering water bridge form in high voltage field

Is water sentient? Scientist is puzzled by the seemingly gravity defiling bridge form by water under a high voltage electrical field. One Particular comment on Neatorama interests me,

“There have been numerous times wherein I ‘felt’ the presence of the sea having more than a passive inorganic existence. I ‘felt’ like it was interested in getting me, I anticipated it’s ‘motives’ to change its swelling and lashing out, and as I avoided getting pulled in while getting close to the edge, I felt it swelling up on the other side of me.”

Such an interesting remark, make me rethink about my long ago post - Emapthy Water… (Link)Floating Water Bridge, Physics dot Org. What do you think?

AWARE coup is pre planned and purpose driven

In today Wayang party news, several leaked emails provided more insight into the fiasco. To the surprise of many, I think it is righteous. Why are we so upset? This happens all the time in the history of human kind. Someone oust the old king, built a prosperous kingdom, oust by some other.

If it is believe to be a just cause, why not?

In one email, Shawn urges,

“AWARE is an organization that has existed in Singapore for many years. It is a non-profit body dedicated to women’s advocacy and gender equality. They protect women’s rights and help develop women to their fullest potential. In the last few years, AWARE has aggressively become involved in gay activism. Many members of their committee are pro-gay. They have even conducted a sexual education programme in some schools that teach young people that it is normal and alright to behave homosexually. They have also screened a lesbian-themed movie Spider Lilies at a Charity Ball.”

I will applause if not for the method they used to take over the organization. Courage and conviction was shown.

My question, did the head of Church of our Savior orchestra this coup?

Your acceptance of new idea means that you are open minded?

My favorite quote this week, from Bertrand Russell,
“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.”

Open mindedness is simply the most difficult behavior a person can develop. What you believe now is actually a sub set of facts which you already have deep inside your conscience
