So, apparently we have a working prototype model of an actual HOVERBOARD. Jump to around 1:06 in the video to get to the actual working hoverboard.
Well it had harpoons, but they failed to fire. https://twitter.com/esaoperations/status/532575061543485440 But fucking amazing landing a probe on a comet.
I have the biggest fucking science boner right now. I love watching that assfuck Dr. Oz get put in his place. Way to make up ~50% of your fucking recommendations, douchecanoe. Televised medical talk shows—what they recommend and the evidence to support their recommendations: a prospective observational study Spoiler alert: Results and conclusions below. Spoiler Results: We could find at least a case study or better evidence to support 54% (95% confidence interval 47% to 62%) of the 160 recommendations (80 from each show). For recommendations in The Dr Oz Show, evidence supported 46%, contradicted 15%, and was not found for 39%. For recommendations in The Doctors, evidence supported 63%, contradicted 14%, and was not found for 24%. Believable or somewhat believable evidence supported 33% of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show and 53% on The Doctors. On average, The Dr Oz Show had 12 recommendations per episode and The Doctors 11. The most common recommendation category on The Dr Oz Show was dietary advice (39%) and on The Doctors was to consult a healthcare provider (18%). A specific benefit was described for 43% and 41% of the recommendations made on the shows respectively. The magnitude of benefit was described for 17% of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show and 11% on The Doctors. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest accompanied 0.4% of recommendations. Conclusions: Recommendations made on medical talk shows often lack adequate information on specific benefits or the magnitude of the effects of these benefits. Approximately half of the recommendations have either no evidence or are contradicted by the best available evidence. Potential conflicts of interest are rarely addressed. The public should be skeptical about recommendations made on medical talk shows.
The only thing worse than Dr. Oz are the mindless twats who hang on to his every word like its gospel.
A team of self-proclaimed "biohackers" injected a subject's eyes with bioluminescence to give him night vision. So, that's pretty gnarly. Body mods are going to happen. Robotic prosthetics is advancing seriously. Some TED Talks guy theorized Johnny Mneumonic brain hard drives would be available this century, allowing people to access databases instantly. Personally, I'm just waiting for the hydraulic cock.
As much as I love science and how it furthers us while mocking the stupid, body mods are something I remain a bit skeptical. If this experiment truly worked.... wow. That really is something. I have some skepticism because it seems to be producing amateur fucksticks who pull bio-mechanic brainfarts out of their asses. Let's not forget our charlatan shit-for-brains friend pictured below who claims sewing a giant thermometer under his flesh was ground-breaking body modification: ..if his arm rots off, I'll laugh. Plain and simple.
Im not too sure as how the mechanisms of that bioluminescent stuff worked on the guy's eye, if it actually did. All I know is every time I hear someone babbling on about biohacking they turn out to be hipster douche bags. I hope they all get massive infections when their gauged ear crust falls into their open wound surgery.
Looks like the Hadron Collider came up with another biggie: a new particle(s) beyond the standard model, and with it perhaps new unwritten thoery: https://aeon.co/ideas/physics-is-on-the-verge-of-an-earth-shattering-discovery
