Quantum secrets of photosynthesis revealed
april 2008 by ethanhein
"Long-lived wavelike electronic quantum coherence... can explain the extreme efficiency of the energy transfer because it enables the system to simultaneously sample all the potential energy pathways and choose the most efficient one.” Cool.

The Geometry of Music
march 2008 by ethanhein
"The simplest chords, which consist of just two notes, live on an actual Möbius strip. Three-note chords reside in spaces that look like prisms--except that opposing faces connect to each other." Itrasbiel wins hard for drawing this to my attention.

World Of Warcraft Teaches The Wrong Things

Instead of addressing the game's flaws by altering the code to fix them, Blizzard attempts to legislate player behavior using the game's terms of service. This loses.

january 2008 by ethanhein
From UT Austin's student paper The Daily Texan: "Modesty is essential to feminine virtue, and the lack thereof implies a state of whorification... The androgynous masculinization of the modern woman...has led to the slow whorification of ladyhood."
