It occurs to me that I should probably post a GnuPG public key in case anyone ever wants to send me anything or verify a signature.

Yawn
I am convinced there is a single yawn on this planet that travels from person to person. More to the point, I believe that a person yawning is caused by them being hit bit a subatomic particle that I will call a 'yawnion'. In all actuality, there is only one (1) 'yawnion' on the planet and it travels faster than the speed of light, this is why yawning appears to be contagious. The 'yawnion' has a higher chance of hitting someone next to you than someone on the other side of the planet. However, since it is a superluminal particle it can affect someone on the other side of the planet, and your physical neighbor all very suddenly.

Invisible Acceleration
From a Technology Review article on meta-materials and invisibility.
"Metamaterials interact with light in ways that appear to violate the laws of physics. They can bend light around an object as if it weren't there, or narrow the resolution of light microscopes down to a few nanometers. But metamaterials must be painstakingly structured at the nano- and microscales in order to achieve these exotic effects. Now the Duke University researcher who built the first invisibility cloak in 2006 has created software that speeds up the design of metamaterials. He and his colleagues have used the program to build a complex light cloak that's invisible to a broad band of microwave light--and they did it in only about 10 days."
Two interesting things of note here.
1. A lot of folks believed we'd never get broad spectrum capabilities. Once again proving the idea that if a scientist says something is unlikely, they're probably wrong.
2. The most interesting thing is that from first thought to now is only 3 years... and even more amazing than that is the fabrication time. Only 10 days. Yet another amazing example of the world around us speeding up!
