One of the great things about having a push-style RSS news aggregator is that you can nicely keep on top on flash memes with little effort. When I walked into work today, I had no idea that camera-phones (er, more specifically, any and all recording devices) had been banned in movie theaters. Now, at the close of business, I've read about, or at least seen the headline for, at least a dozen articles, reports, and blog entries. Anyway, the logic goes something like this: |

- BBC Environment -- Humans have been warming the Earth's climate for the last 10,000 years, US scientist William Ruddiman claims. The University of Virginia professor says agriculture has put greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, pushing up temperatures by about one Celsius. This, he claims, has broadly balanced the cooling that should have come from a natural reduction in the Sun's heat reaching Earth over the same period. The professor has presented his ideas to the American Geophysical Union. The AGU is holding its annual autumn meeting here in San Francisco. |

- BBC Science -- The United Nations has published new predictions on the size and age of the world's population 300 years from now. One startling projection based on present fertility levels is for 134 trillion inhabitants - although the UN concedes this is an impossible outcome. The 134 trillion figure is used merely as a demonstration that present fertility levels are unsustainable. Its medium-case scenario forecasts a rise from the current 6. |

- BBC Technology -- Artificial corneas have been successfully "grown" in the eyes of partially blind animals. Scientists from the University of Ottawa are hoping that their findings could lead to an inexhaustible supply of new corneas for human patients. The cornea is the transparent layer that covers the eye - but it can lose transparency, damaging sight. Humans are currently the only source of corneas for transplantation, and the supply of donor tissue is limited. In addition, the artificial corneas may actually work better than human versions - growing their own nerve connections within the eye. |

- According to this article in the NYTimes, the Bernoulli principle isn't the best explanation. Instead, going to a plain old Newtonian mechanics explanation is more straightforward and more likely right. The wing shape isn't everything After all, you can fly a barn door if you strap a jet engine to it, and (as the article points out) airplanes can fly upside down.Things can work, and we can exploit that fact, without really understanding how they work. There are a lot of deep unanswered questions in physics. |
