Supercomputer is Creating & Running a Universe

…maybe…our universe?

The Supercomputer That Houses an Entire Universe – by Adrian Covert

Over a span of two weeks in October, the Mira supercomputer will crank away nonstop, processing quadrillions of operations every second—something that few other machines are currently capable of. It will simultaneously track trillions of particles as they move, expand, and react to each other according to the laws of physics. This simulation will have to use everything mankind has learned about the movement of objects. If successful, it will not only confirm what we’ve suspected, but will also give us a deeper understanding of how the cosmos came to be. Mira, in short, is simulating the history of our universe. read article

Ken Levine is Holding a “Sitcom Room” Weekend

Do you have what it takes to participate?

SITCOM ROOM registration is now open – by Ken Levine

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a comedy writer on a sitcom?   Being surrounded by really funny people in a work environment where laughter is not just encouraged but required?    Is this something you’ve always wanted to do?  Or just something you’d like to experience one time?  Then I invite you to join THE SITCOM ROOM — a weekend hands-on seminar where you don’t just sit and listen to boring lectures for two days, you WRITE.   You’re put in a writing room where you will fix a script and see Hollywood actors performyour material.   It’s kind of like one of those baseball fantasy camps except you don’t blow out your hamstring. read article

The Doctor Puppet Goes to London

We just can’t quit him:

I’m back! What a trip. I brought back lots of British goodies including my favorite snacks. I should be set for now, so I think I’ll give myself and the TARDIS a rest and stay put in Alisa’s apartment for a bit.

Alisa and I took so many photos that we’re still reviewing them. I promise I’ll start posting them soon – maybe even later today! We went all over and saw all the big sights. Castles, towers, bridges, circuses, mountains, quays, even consulting detectives. Stay tuned! read article
