It’s not Halo, but damn it’s cool! Black Holes Under Earth’s Surface
The Large Hadron Collider is a device built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries. This partical collider is built in a 17 mile (27 km) long underground ring lined with over 9,000 magnets, and smashes particles together at high speeds in order to learn more about the origins of mass and other physics. Some…
It’s not Halo, but damn it’s cool! Pluto moon: Vulcan
In the last few years, a fourth and fifth moon has been discovered revolving around Pluto by the Hubble Space Telescope, and they will be named by popular consensus. Conventionally, Pluto’s moons have been named after Greek or Roman mythological figures relating to the underworld, since Pluto was the Roman god of the Underworld. Fearing the public would mass vote…
It’s not Halo, but damn it’s cool! Hydrogen cars
Hydrogen could be the simplest and most abundant element in the universe, but roadblocks in utilizing this energy source as a fuel for cars has discouraged companies to engineer vehicles that can run on it for the general public. Until now. Hydrogen-powered vehicle technology has been around since the first part of the 19th century, but hydrogen has a lower…
FYA: Death Star Scrapped IRL – – Not Quite Yet
For Your Amusement. A couple of weeks back during pre-game chat, WCF Cypher brought up that the White House had turned down America’s request for our government to fund and build Earth’s own Death Star. See, if We the People get 100,000 signatures on any petition, the White House is required to look at it. The petition for the Death…
Halo in Depth: The Flood
There may not be Flood in the part of the Halo story that is included in Halo 4, but that doesn’t stop us from from thinking about them. Do they have feelings? Can they remember things that happened to them before they were converted? Could scientists eventually have found a cure in using the hosts DNA to revert the process?…
It’s not Halo, but damn it’s cool! Roboy
Switzerland, a country known for producing some of the most creative and innovative scientists and engineers, will soon birth the engineering marvel that is Roboy. Roboy is a robot being developed to aid those who are physically incapable of accomplishing tasks they wish to accomplish in their everyday lives, allowing them to be autonomous instead of depending on other humans…
