I have always been interested in the workings of Time... and know a lot about it. Love time travel stories and Einstein is my hero... but today I learned something new. Obvious, but new to me. In the information below, I enclosed what was new to me in parentheses ( ) in the 3rd paragraph. ===================================================== In space, light and time act differently than here on Earth, and speed is a different concept when time can theoretically be stopped in its tracks. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, or approximately 670 million miles per hour. Nothing in the universe travels faster than light: at the speed of light, time stops. No matter how fast you are moving when you observe it, the speed of light will always be 186,000 miles per second. In physics, the three dimensions of space and the fourth, separate dimension of time combine to form a single construct throughout the cosmos called space-time. Using space-time, scientists can measure both the pla...

Originally shared by Mike Elgan The Truth About iPhone Factory Workers. The Apple iPhone has become the poster child for the problems of Chinese and American labor. One strain of conventional wisdom goes that while rich, entitled Western elites whine and complain over trivial issues like maps and purple haze on screens, abused, exploited Chinese factory workers slave away to make those iPhones in unsafe factories and under exploitative conditions. The iPhone represents the shafting of the Chinese worker. Another strain of conventional wisdom goes that greedy Apple (and other companies) ships factory jobs overseas to China, where Chinese factory workers get all the jobs, and American workers are left in the unemployment line. The iPhone represents the shafting of the American worker. Here’s an idea. Let’s stop accepting these brain-dead caricatures, and insist on the truth about iPhones, factories and workers. http://www.cultofmac.com/197050/the-truth-about-iphone-factory-workers

Originally shared by Mike Elgan 8,000-year-old rock carvings in Morocco destroyed by local Salafist Muslims. "Atlas Stones" at an archeological site in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, created more than 8,000 years ago, have been destroyed Salafist Muslims, according to a report in AFP. The stone carvings depict a Neolith religion that worshipped a sun god, and many of the 4- to 5-foot diameter carvings depicted the sun. One of the carvings was made even before the Phoenicians arrived in Morocco. Salafist Muslims have also been accused of burning down one of the major Sufi Muslim mausoleums in Tunisia. Other ancient World Heritage shrines have been also destroyed by Islamists in nearby Mali. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5j8YTcHzPr8qkQj8Be68BkdE6L1pA?docId=CNG.bbe1d6490ab6ef1279c6c7aa83c20199.261 (Pic props: http://www.elaineling.com/photo_atlas.html )
