Interstellar Ark

A little fantasy for a gray monday morning... ;)
This is a 'scientific' article speakiing about how would be the problematics of building a huge spaceship to travel during more than 20 years through the universe to colonize other planets. In this spaceship, people would live in artificial cities and spend their time safely until they reach destination. The question rising here would be: "...and once they arrive there, what?". Who would volunteer for such a mission? I'm sure there would be volunteers (there are for almost everything in this world...), but the viability of this project is difficult to say the least. However, it's always a nice reading!

Three Lectures by Hans Bethe

In 1999, legendary theoretical physicist Hans Bethe delivered three lectures on quantum theory to his neighbors at the Kendal of Ithaca retirement community (near Cornell University). Given by Professor Bethe at age 93, the lectures are presented here as QuickTime videos synchronized with slides of his talking points and archival material.

Unsolved problems in physics

I know.
It's winter time.
You stay at home more than before, and you have more free time to spend there.
Maybe you get bored, or you have too much spare time.
So before you start watching TV (I know, it's very high quality contents, now even in HD! -sarcastic mode OFF-), better have a look at this list.
