...broods Japan needs. Ryuichi Kaneko, a researcher at the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, says there's no escaping this demographic dearth: "We have a small number of young people now, so even if each woman has a slightly greater number of children than before, there wouldn't be much change." If he's right, Japan's population plunge will be impossible to turn around...
...preface this by saying I wouldn't wish it on anybody. But I do think I'm stronger. I'm more optimistic. You'd think I'd be a real pessimist, but when you handle adversity, it gives you an up feeling. I attach a value to life that I might not otherwise, because I see the other side. But I wish I could say it had never happened...
...start of the dark ages, there were no galaxies, no stars, no planets. Even if there had been, we wouldn't be able to spot them. That's because hydrogen-gas clouds are nearly opaque to visible light; no ordinary telescope will ever be able to see what happened afterward. Yet somehow the matter that started as a sea of individual atoms managed to transform itself into something more. So back in the early 1990s, Loeb began lobbying theorists to make a major push to deduce through computer simulations how the first stars formed. The plan was to re-create...
...hour or so, it looked as though they wouldn't get the chance. They had just this one night at the Keck; the telescope is so overbooked that even an eminent astronomer like Ellis has to wait his turn, and his next observing run isn't until January 2007. But the engineers this night have figured out the problem. When Stark entered his user name in the online telescope log, he made a typo. Every time the focusing routine came upon it, the program froze. The typo has now been corrected. The Keck can focus again, and to their delight...
...People are accepting that this is an activism tool that can help create change. It's not a distribution system that maximizes profit, so it wouldn't work for Hollywood. Think about it: every house party we hold requires just one person to buy a DVD because we're not charging anyone to watch the film at people's homes. Hollywood is not running to embrace a model for social change. I'm not sure anybody's found a way to monetize...
