So we thought that the colors of the fish are only from the reflection of sun rays. *Blush*
Seeing Red
Sept. 16, 2008 Thousands of fish swim on the edge of a coral reef. It was staring them in the face, but somehow generations of marine biologists have failed to notice that a lot of fish in the sea glow a fluorescent red, according to a study published Monday. Full story here
It’s happening right now. It’s a metonic cycle eclipse, meaning the last time the EXACT eclipse happened on Aug 6th 1990 at 1412hrs UTC time (greatest eclipse). The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years. The eclipse belongs to Saros series 138, and is the 29th of 83 lunar eclipses in the series.
It gets reddish due to the dispersion of sunlight
’nuff said.
We may only see ROY Gave Birth In Vietnam, but the reality is, there’s more than meets the eye.
It all began with Light.
In the “miracle year” of 1905, Albert Einstein published five groundbreaking papers still sparking innovations 100 years later. But he was asking questions much way earlier, when he was a teenager. There is bound to be someone in this generation to unify ALL theories of science, not only physics in particular. Where even Einstein’s achievements and impact could be surpassed. This is what I call The Physics Revolution. We just need to ask the right questions…
So what’s YOUR big idea?

An excerpt:
Why does it matter?
If it’s impossible to say where the solution will come from, it’s doubly impossible to predict what the real-world consequences of that solution might be. But if the next century plays out like the last one, advances in our understanding of physics could turn today’s science fiction into tomorrow’s everyday technologies.
In a science-fiction world, dark energy could be harnessed as a power source or for interstellar travel. Weird quantum effects could serve as the basis for ultra-secure communications, ultra-miniaturized nanocomputer chips or new ways of storing data as holograms.
But Carroll believes cosmological research is more important for answering cosmic questions — for example, whether the universe will someday spread out to near-nothingness in a“Big Chill” (currently the most widely accepted scenario); tear itself apart in a “Big Rip”; fall back on itself in a “Big Crunch”; begin yet another Big Bang cycle; or even spawn another generation of “daughter universes.”
“It might be the case that investigations into quantum gravity or dark energy might end up with tangible benefits on technology in the next 100 years,” Carroll admits, “but mostly I emphasize the fact that people just want to know the answer. … It’s part of innate human curiosity to figure out how the universe around us works.”
Many things may have changed in the century since Einstein’s miracle year, but that innate curiosity is constant.
“I want to know God’s thoughts,” Einstein once said. “The rest are details.”
