...Institute’s findings are all the more significant because subtype C is considered one of the most infectious strains of HIV—it is responsible for over 50 percent of all cases of HIV worldwide, and is the most prevalent strain in Sub-Saharan Africa...
...when you add Tegmark's "dogs," plus the more esoteric equations of sub-nuclear physics, it turns out that an additional 30% of the needed matter most likely comes in the form of mysterious particles that have been identified only in theory, never directly observed--particles with quirky names like neutralino and axion. These are the mysterious dark matter, or most of it anyway. The cosmic background radiation itself began to shine when the universe was 300,000 years old, but the temperature fluctuations were set in place when it was just a split-second old. "It's pretty cool...
...work in the dark, the world has started to wake up." Indeed, world leaders may be more aware than ever of the fact that more than 30 million people worldwide are currently living with AIDS, and that most of them - particularly among the 25 million who live in sub-Saharan Africa - are doomed to die from the disease. But that doesn't necessarily make them more inclined to take the steps necessary to stop the horror...
...simply to counter the spread of HIV through safe-sex education, the provision of condoms and relatively cheap drugs proven to stop mother-to-child transmission of the virus. Treating those already infected would require a further $4.5 billion a year. Plainly, the priority in the impoverished nations of sub-Saharan Africa is to stop the spread of a disease that threatens to drag the continent into anarchy. And where resources are already scarce, the unspoken choice may be to simply let the majority of those currently infected with HIV die. But that essentially implies a conscious choice...

The skin on his face resembled bronze leather and bore the effects of sub-zero temperatures, 100-mile-an-hour winds, biting snow and glaring sun. His clothes hung too loosely off his frame and he still walked with the measured steps of a man at high altitude. He looked out of place among the soft, comfortable suburbanites that came to toast his accomplishment...
