...Mars you'll be touching down on, but odds are you'll land somewhere near the broad equatorial belt. While temperatures elsewhere on Mars fall to a murderous -220[degrees]F, they can climb to a shirt-sleeve 68[degrees]F in the planet's tropics--not that Mars' thin, toxic air would ever allow you to strip down to your shirt sleeves...
...found another possible mechanism for time travel using cosmic strings, thin strands of energy millions of light-years long, predicted by some theories of particle physics (but not yet observed in the universe). You could try to construct a cosmic-string time machine by finding a large loop of cosmic string and somehow manipulating it so it would contract rapidly under its own tension, like a rubber band. The extraordinary energy density of the string curves space-time sharply, and by flying a spaceship around the two sides of the loop as they pass each other at nearly the speed...
...have three thousand six hundred seconds dissipate into thin air--well, things start to get a little suspicious. As we went to change our clocks this past weekend, it became necessary to ask ourselves the tough questions: Is it not unjust to deny precious seconds to a student demographic whose schedule-juggling is already a feat of Herculean proportions? Why does no one think to factor in the additional ten minutes that we lose in our attempts to readjust our watches? Why does it always seem to fall right after spring break, when we need that extra hour of detox...
...sucker's game; appreciation is where it's really at. You like Rah's music, that you know. She seems true to her roots--you saw that up close. The glossy photos in perfumy magazines, the Hype Williams-directed videos, the sound-bite TV appearances--all of that seems thin and sugary, like the glaze on a doughnut. Answering the door in a fuzzy bathrobe, that's real, that's true, that's hip-hop. In that one moment in her graffiti-scarred hallway, Rah was as big a star as you've seen in a long time...
HERE SHE IS The icon of American beauty, always thin, is becoming even more so...or less, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins last week...
