Never Let Me Down Again

This was THE best song of my 20s - I heard it on MTV and it blew me away.  I missed their London O2 Tour back in May 2013, because I had to take my end of year exam.  Suffice to say, when they tour again, I will do my damnedest to get there.

I listen to it now and I am automatically 23 again. Lovelovelove you, Dave :-)

Intelligent Design?

I just love these images.  On the left, you have the brain cell, which is has three neurons and their connections to one another; the other is a snap shot of our present-day universe with its own yellow galaxies and surrounded by "stars and dark matter" (Source: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/ - Accessed 02/09/14).  There have been suggestions about the universe being a giant brain for years, mostly in far-fetched sci-fi novels, but it appears that scientists are warming to this idea.




Computer simulation has shown that the universe "may grow like a giant brain" and that "previously undiscovered fundamental laws govern systems both large and small, from the growth of brains [...] to the expansion of galaxies" (Source: http://www.nbcnews.com/ - Accessed 02/09/14).  Now, none of this is new - the data has been available for at least two years, but I think it is something that Dawkins and his crew should stop short and chew on.  It could be a contributory factor to the possibility of 'Intelligent Design,' rather than just 'Natural Selection.' It is not concrete proof, but it does have fascinating possibilities.

St Ives

No guesses where I have been - the place is practically on the doorstep.  I am out tomorrow too, but somewhere else.  Will post some more pix as to where tomorrow.  Meanwhile, under the cut, a couple of photos. Rest are at my Flickr site ----------> https://www.flickr.com/photos/schnowbaby/ :-)
