Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. – William Hazlitt

I don’t remember where I first saw this, but this is an amazing video in the spirit of the Powers of Ten film frequently shown in science classes.
Here’s the Powers of Ten video.

The Large Hadron Collider has some more problems, according to the NYT.
I’ve posted this before, but it’s getting a little freaky how many problems LHC is having. Maybe it did work… in the future.

How do I know? Because even the Grand Rapids Freaking Press panned, no, outright insulted the movie. This is a newspaper steeped in the Christian orthodoxy which the film touts and published in the heart of Christian Reformed bigotry and ID adherents. A sample:
The film frames scientists who oppose I.D. as hypocrites [...] thus making Michael Moore’s similarly slanted documentary techniques look like objective journalism.
…
But “Expelled” is slick and slimy, and anyone wanting a proper response to the onslaught of leftist documentaries — or harboring a similar viewpoint of man’s origins — likely will be put off by Stein’s smug tone and his disigenuous [sic] suggestion that not just Darwinism, but science itself is a dangerous tool of evil minds.
Ouch.
