Have a great weekend!
- Would a "complete understanding of everything" be boring?
- Derived from a deeper understanding of human immunology, artificial immune systems can be applied to a range of engineering problems.
- As wolves age their killer instinct fades, and humans are an acquired taste for lions.
- Using its ion propulsion, the spacecraft Dawn has been maneuvering through asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter on its way to a July 2011 encounter with the protoplanet Vesta.
- A speculative branch of physics, quantum cosmology, could explain the arrow of time, according to the physics arXiv blog. Unfortunately, there is no way of testing the theory.
- Looking for the "devil inside," new cognitive research could help explain temptation.
- Bob Berman's suggested at IF09 that any consistent "biocentric" science would first have to explain consciousness. Eric Schwitzgebel presents an argument against any general theory of consciousness.

Time may be just the presence of motion and forces. Time could be due to expansion of space. Time is slow where expansion of space is slow like around large masses. If total motion and forces within a mass is a constant then as the linear motion is increased the internal motion as well forces within that object slow which is then percieved as slowing of time. If we think of two objects in orbit around each other and imagine time slowing down then we should observe motion slow down as well as forces get weaker. Forces are part of time. Forces determine the arrow of time. Without forces time will be perfectly symetrical and lack any direction.
