New Camera Technology by Brady Duggan

New camera technology shows that we can detect objects through a camera that is not in the camera’s view. Using a laser projected on the ground and a very electromagnetic wave sensitive camera, you can determine where an object is that is not in the camera’s field of view. The laser is pointed at the ground and sends a wave around and then bounces off the object and is sent back to the camera. The camera can then determine the position of the object.

Is Sneaker Innovation Changing How We Move? by Sean Fisher

Is Sneaker Innovation Changing How We Move?

Sneaker technology has found of new way of making running shoes more comfortable and increase your speed, and traction by using waffle iron. The idea was discovered when Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman was trying to figure out how he could make a shoe with more traction but did not want to place spikes on the bottom of the shoes. Bill's wife was making breakfast one day and when he took a look at his food he studied the structure of the waffle. Bowerman used the waffle maker and poured rubber into it this became a successful decision for the company to sell shoes made with waffle iron. LED lights are also being installed in the sneakers through the laces which is new for shoes because LED lights are mostly used for vehicles.

Would you wear a pair of running shoes made with waffle iron?

Do you think they will be better shoes?

Why Science Does Not Disprove God by Noah Whalen

Why Science Does Not Disprove God

The Big Bang theory was created by a Catholic priest named George Lamator, who was also an Astronomer and physics teacher. Amir Aczel, the author of “Why Science Does Not Disprove God” wrote the book because he believed many people think of science and religion as separate even though they may not be, and to protect the integrity of science. The first point given in the podcast was that something can’t come from nothing. There has never been nothing, ever. Everything in the universe is so intricate and well structured, there is reason behind the chaos and science helps to uncover the unknown. The more we learn, the more unlikely that the structures we find are created on it’s own. Why does everything work out? Science will probably never prove or disprove God. God comes with the idea of faith, and so do all of our theories about the universe. People who believe the theories have faith in them. Aczel personally believes in a God who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists but not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind. the state of science right now is not at the place where it can say there is no God.

1. Do you believe in God? Why or why not?
2. Why do you think science may never prove or disprove a God?
3. What is faith?

Lucid Dreaming by Tim Lewis

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming is your chance to play with extraordinary activities which are activated through unused parts buried in your brain.  Even though the term "lucid" means clear, lucid dreaming is more than just having a clear dream. To have a lucid dream you must know that it’s a dream while you’re dreaming. It doesn't require that you can control anything in your dream, though control is what beginning lucid dreamers often aim at. People get attracted to lucid dreaming because they want to be able to do things they could never do in reality, for example, taste fire or fly to the sun. More and more experienced lucid dreamers are realizing the benefits of lucid dreaming. You can use this to measure boundaries of your imagination and the limits of the universe.
