When the bishop said we are like horses trying to understand how humans think in the same way people claim to know how God thinks, this film takes it one step further. I wonder if the bishop ever saw this film? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_hlGm8V3Yc#t=6m0sMark wrote:Whatever side of the fence you are on, I think you will find this remarkable in some ways, he's pretty smart. The latter part most curious.

"Zhang and co point out that if plasmons are set up when the metamaterial is close to a metal or dielectric surface, the plasmon ought to interact with electrons in the other material, setting up a kind of resonant effect and pulling the two surfaces together."

"Astronauts are also affected by this region which is said to be the cause of peculiar 'shooting stars' (phosphenes) seen in the visual field of astronauts.[6] Passing through the South Atlantic Anomaly is thought[7] to be the reason for the early failures of the Globalstar network's satellites. The PAMELA experiment, while passing through the SAA, detected antiproton levels that were orders of magnitude higher than those expected from normal particle decay. This suggests the Van Allen belt confines antiparticles produced by the interaction of the Earth's upper atmosphere with cosmic rays.[8] NASA has reported that modern laptops have crashed when the space shuttle flights passed through the anomaly.[9]"
