The One-Second War

Remember leap seconds? Well, here's an interesting article about the little Y2K effect that they produce - including significant costs for the hour preceding and after - for the military. Cool look at how time has been kept `tracked' of over the centuries and more recently. - http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/5/107699-the-one-second-war/fulltext

The ancient Earth should have frozen to death billions of years ago

This article is a fun read for the logic of it. That said, the very compelling comments make one wonder why the article was written at all - http://io9.com/5808616/the-ancient-earth-should-have-frozen-to-death-billions-of-years-ago - the crux of it all is that two theories to explain water 3.5 billion years ago have fallen flat.

Moving Mirrors Make Light From `NOTHING'

I love this article. Seems that by moving a `mirror' (not really but an effect that produces a reflective surface) at about 5% the speed of light - that a group of scientists were able to: (tease)
The result was a shower of microwave photons shaken loose from the vacuum, the team claims. The group's analysis shows that the frequency of the photons was roughly half the frequency at which they wiggled the mirror — as was predicted by quantum theory.
