Geeks all around the world should rejoice …
I’m really into quantum physics. Some of my friends are into it, some of them aren’t, so I’m trying to get them excited about discovering all these interesting things about thoughts and the power of thoughts. It gives me chills thinking about it. It’s fun.
Carmen Electra
She was already amazing, now she’s even greater. She may not have discovered anything, but Carmen Electra definitely deserves a place in the modern physics hall of fame. She’s finally showing the world that just because you’re a super sexy blond bombshell, it doesn’t mean you’re not lusting after theoretical and experimental justifications for Schroedinger’s equation.

The Guardian, Saturday October 6 2007
Craig Venter, the controversial DNA researcher involved in the race to decipher the human genetic code, has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals and is going to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on Earth.
The announcement, which is expected within weeks and could come as early as Monday at the annual meeting of his scientific institute in San Diego, California, will herald a giant leap forward in the development of designer genomes. It is certain to provoke heated debate about the ethics of creating new species and could unlock the door to new energy sources and techniques to combat global warming.
Mr Venter told the Guardian he thought this landmark would be “a very important philosophical step in the history of our species. We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before.
Scientific breakthroughs like really this make you think. God is quickly becoming useless, just like any other imaginary childhood hero. Yet, why do people still choose to believe in fairy tales? I guess it’s nothing more than a stupid refusal to grow up and face reality …
