13 Science Mysteries

This New Scientist article is a great overview of the following 13 mysteries, or "things that don't make sense" in science (although I don't think they should have included homeopathy):

• The placebo effect
• The horizon problem (of the Universe)
• Ultra-energetic cosmic rays
• Belfast homeopathy results
• Dark matter
• Viking's methane
• Tetraneutrons
• The Pioneer anomaly
• Dark energy
• The Kuiper cliff
• The Wow signal
• Not-so-constant constants
• Cold fusion

Store Your Data...For a BILLION YEARS!

Now we're talkin'; store those LOST episodes and family photos for a b-b-billion years.

So now we just need to encapsulate all our civilizations' combined knowledge in a vault somewhere with some self-replicating robot maintenance staff who can also train the sentient beings 1 gigayear hence how to read the darn stuff.

I like the comment about not buying it now because next year they'll come out with TWO billion year storage times.
