...gain could come from harnessing the bright and heavily funded researchers who work either directly for the military (the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers alone has 283 Ph.D.s on staff) or for its numerous suppliers. If the military-industrial complex can design a long-range missile that travels into space and is guided by light from the stars, it has a good chance of developing new technologies that could help governments meet emission targets without making draconian cuts to energy usage. At least that's the hope. (See pictures of how climate change has affected Europe...
...empty test track at Tata Motors' main plant in the western Indian city of Pune and found that, while the interior is spartan, the Nano handles as well as any of the other low-end minicars available in India. The brakes lack feel and there's little storage space, but the car turned heads. Our photographer drove a bright yellow Nano - this one fully equipped with air-conditioning - through the highways, cobbled avenues and side streets of Pune. People swerved and tailgated to get a closer look, waving and shouting, "Hey, Nano!" as the car passed. When we stopped...
Yes.The initial reporting claimed that 170,000 priceless artifacts were stolen in only 48 hours. Putting aside questions of Newtonian space and time and the impossibility of random looters getting 170,000 in 48 hours, that was truly exaggerated by at least a factor of 10. With some rare exceptions, the media has been very good about reporting the actual number stolen during the April time period, which is approximately 14,000 pieces. That's a tragedy in and of itself. One piece is one too many. (See pictures of disputed antiquities...
...modern twist on Geoffrey's account, some argue that space aliens, rather than Merlin, constructed Stonehenge. These theories feed off the fact that no one's exactly sure how the rocks got to their present location - the origin of some were traced as far as a Welsh mountain range 137 miles away from the Stonehenge. Although modern tests employing only technology from the era have moved similar stones, there's still no full explanation for how ancient people managed such a feat. Hence, aliens...
After surpassing Germany to become the world's third-largest economy behind the U.S. and Japan, hosting a successful Olympic Games and conducting its first space walk, you'd think China would be happy. Even the devastating Sichuan earthquake in May 2008 had positive aspects-Chinese volunteered en masse to help their stricken countrymen. (See pictures of China's Sichuan quake: six months later...
