SU Science Junkie: A Testable Hypothesis on Time Travel: "According to Päs, a physicist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and his colleagues, the door to a time machine could be anywhere and everywhere in our universe. And unlike most other scenarios for time travel, we can test this one here on Earth. 'I think the ideas presented are wonderful and exciting,' says Bill Louis, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and co-spokesperson for the MiniBoone neutrino experiment at Fermilab, near Chicago. 'The question is are they true or not.'"

Telegraph | News | Invisibility cloak 'five years away': "Scientists have taken the first steps towards creating a Harry Potter-style cloak of invisibility.

Professor John Pendry, from Imperial College London, said that it may not take long to develop an invisible fabric - assuming there is sufficient research into the technology.

'If there is adequate funding, I'd have thought it would take in the order of five years,' he said."

ringtonia.com: Teenager repellent "Mosquito" turned into ringtone: "Remember the teenager repellent called Mosquito I wrote about a few days ago, the ultrasonic device that emits a sound only audible to teenagers? Shopkeepers in England have been installing them in order to prevent anti social youths from hanging out in front of their stores.

Well now techno-savvy pupils have recorded the ultra-high sound - audible only to under-20s- onto their cell phones, and are now receiving calls and text messages in class - without teachers having the faintest idea of what is going on.

The kids call it Teen Buzz, and it's spreading it from phone to phone via text messages and Bluetooth."
LiveScience.com - The Ethical Dilemmas of Immortality: "This is just one of several ethical and moral arguments that have cropped up in recent years as labs around the world aim at the dream of immortality, or at least to extend lives well beyond the century mark. Among other debates:

* Will everyone have an equal chance to drink from a fountain of youth?
* If people live longer but are miserable for decades, will views on suicide and euthanasia change?
* In an immortal society, how do you make room for new generations?"

Zelfkennis is vaak zelfbedrog: "‘Ken u zelve’, gebood Socrates al, en tot op de dag van vandaag worden we doodgegooid met persoonlijkheidstesten, trainingen ‘zelfverwezenlijking’ en zelfhulpboeken als Worden wie je werkelijk bent.

Technology Review: Emerging Technologies and their Impact: "Encouraging neurons in the retina to grow dendrites into silicon-based eye implants could help make retinal prosthetics a reality. The dendrites grown in a controlled zigzag pattern (bottom) shown across an array of much larger vertical electrodes (top). (Courtesy of Neville Mehenti, Stanford University.)

The use of implanted retina chips to restore vision is still some way off. But scientists have taken a significant step toward that goal by finding a way to trigger the firing of individual retinal cells, by growing them on a silicon-based eye implant. The research represents a key step in making artificial vision considerably better and more natural than current methods used for prosthetic retinas."

The Observer | UK News | Study downplays link of video games to violence: "Playing computer games may actually be good for children, according to a government study that found no proof that even violent games triggered aggressive behaviour.

The games can improve children's decision-making and instil 'positive learning traits', some research suggests. At least one study argues that make-believe violence helps children 'conquer fears and develop a sense of identity', as gruesome fairytales once did."
