Adventures In Tweed
And now for something a little more conservative, for the times when I'm not high on life, and slightly closer to earth. I enjoy philosophy, cycling, and reading, among other things. For anything and everything else, my Tumblr can probably say it better than I could. (Or you could ask)

Now to wander in wonder...
A team at Cornell University, with support from Darpa, the Pentagon’s out-there research arm, managed to hide an event for 40 picoseconds (those are trillionths of seconds, if you’re counting). They’ve published their groundbreaking research in this week’s edition of the journal Nature.
This is the first time that scientists have succeeded in masking an event, though research teams have in recent years made remarkable strides in cloaking objects. Researchers at the University of Texas, Dallas, last year harnessed the mirage effect to make objects vanish. And in 2010, physicists at the University of St. Andrews made leaps towards using metamaterials to trick human eyes into not seeing what was right in front of them.
