The God Particle

          From the astronomically large, to the ever so miniscule small. We search for answers at every level, and with that comes the anticipated "God Particle" or Higgs Boson; the matter in which gravity is thought to originate from. A science fiction like machine, the Large Hadron Collider has produced some remarkable findings, from the still unconfirmed speeding fines of particles (matter traveling faster then a beam of light in a vacuum, which is not allowed in Einsteins theory of relativity) to potentially finding the God Particle.

          We are standing at the edge of discovery, looking out upon a vast frontier of knowledge...

Eyes in the Sky

          Here's an exciting new addition to humans eyes to the sky! We have all been amazed by the images produced by Hubble, and now the next generation has arrived. This satellite, in coordination with ground telescopes on earth, can now take images with 10,000 times greater resolution than Hubble. Perhaps we will begin to peer upon Kepler 22b, the new planet discovered this year, with very similar Earth like characteristics.

The ever growing frontier...

Canada's withdrawl from Kyoto

          With the 2011 climate talks starting up in South Africa, Canada is already beginning to show an unwilling side to commitment and action. We as a individuals, neighbors, friends, and as a nation, must show that we are for positive reduction of green house gasses and pollutants.

First Steps

          First steps are the hardest, but the most rewarding.
Hope you all can bare through the this with me, I hope to offer a simple yet diverse array of knowledge and interests.
          Information, communication and collaboration all end in ation, as well as build on our bases of knowledge and morals. We need to remove the belief that one person is small and ineffective, this is the ongoing process that, with the full understanding of ones self, along with positive actions, can and will create enormous benefits for all.

Let it begin...
