Postcards of the Interwebs - 12 June 2013

Its been a while for some weblinks and they have been accumulating. I'll try to post them once a week for the next few.

NASA discovers youngest Black Hole: With black holes being the indiscriminate exterminators of the universe. With a better understanding of them it can let us know more about them and suernovas, as it is surmised that it was one that caused this 1,000 year old black hole. Disney's theory, although hopeful, is too fantastical.

Bees and Flowers communicate by electric fields: Very cool and very practical. If bees sense flowers by this field, then why not an anti-bee device for those people allergic? Or a booster for honey producers to tell the bees where to go?

Bees dying because of high fructose corn syrup: The science is coming in on human long term affects of high fructose corn syrup so why not bees. Bee Farmers had better switch to more natural products and get some hybridization with unaffected bees.

Pixar's 22 rules for storytelling: Whether you are a writer, gamemaster, parent or critic, these rules are consice and logical.

Water found in Moon Rocks: It might have taken over 40 years for them to discover it but the Apollo moon rocks are still giving up good science. The water is not from Earth either. That means if its there and on the moon of Europa around Jupiter, perhaps its more plentiful than we thought. Just bring your water filter!

Cute Cat picture: I know the internet is full of them but here is another one.

Quote from Voltaire: "To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
