If only we would have listened.

You know I wish actual conversations with overly religious people went this smoothly.

Let's end the day with an image to blow your mind, shall we?

Most of us think of our solar system as illustrated by the above image.

But that is inaccurate. You see we are NOT simply rotating around a stationary sun.

Oh no the sun is FAR from stationary, in fact it is hurdling through space at 70,000 kilometers per hour.

So more a more accurate illustration of our solar system is of a vortex like this:

Do you suddenly have the urge to grab onto something? Well don't bother, because it is hurtling through space right along with you. And what's more everything has been, even back when the wise men of old believed the earth was flat and the stars were stuck in the waters above the firmament.

Just look how far science has expanded our view of the world around us.

If you want to learn more take a look at this video.

Gee if only we had listened when we had the chance.

More about Nikola Tesla, for those who are interested.

Picture of the day.

Hmm, what do you think it is?

Answer under the fold.

What goes around, comes around, as News Corp's "The Sun" gets hacked.

 Courtesy of Neowin:

There's been a lot of media coverage around the News of the World hacking scandal this week, it appears that Lulzsec has stepped up against the parent company, Media Corp's other publications and has hacked Rupert Murdoch's major newspapers website, The Sun.

The website today redirected to an article on a elaborate copy of the official Sun website, that claimed Rupert Murdoch had died, and had been found in his garden. 

The Lulzsec official Twitter account claimed they were behind the hack, tweeting; "We have owned Sun/News of the World - that story is simply phase 1 - expect the lulz to flow in coming days." and with a later tweet saying "The Sun's homepage now redirects to the Murdoch death story on the recently-owned New Times website. Can you spell success, gentlemen?"

Oh sweet irony.  I am not much of a fan of those that hack websites, but considering the garbage that Murdoch and his minions are involved with, I think this time I will side with the hackers.
