Nature is full of examples of species that will go to any lengths to survive, as survival of the fittest morphs into survival of the extremest. Some Antarctic moss has found what must be the most disgusting possible survival tactic. According to Professor Sharon Robinson of Australia University of Woolongong, the moss in question grows in a particularly nutrient-poor patch of eastern Antarctica. Since the soil is little more than sand and gravel, the moss must be finding a steady source of nutrients from somewhere else, and Robinson analysi stanley cup s of the moss chemical composition revealed nitrogen concentrations that had passed from algae and krill into a marine predator stanley cup . In other words, these nitrogen chemicals had once been part of a penguin meal, which means the penguin must have excreted the nitrogen back out for it to end up in the moss. Penguin poop would indeed have the right set of nutrients the moss would need to survive. The only problem is that this region of Antarctica hasn ;t been home to penguins for thousands of years. And this is where an already kind of gross nature story takes a turn for the all-time disgusting, as Professor Robinson explained to BBC News: Between 3,000 and 8,000 years ago, on the site where the moss is now growin stanley cup g, there used to be [Adelie] penguins. There fossil evidence to support that, and the little pebbles that the penguins use to make their nests are actually still there.

A while back, Sixty Symbols asked a bunch of physicists what they thought would happen if you were to place your hand in the particle beam at the LHC and 8230; none of them knew. Now they ;ve done some digging, and found out. As it turns out, the LHC beam is focussed down to a tiny spot, less than 1 millimeter across. Also, it contains as much energy as an aircraft transporter in motion. So, responses range from I certainly wouldn ;t advise doing t stanley canada hat to It gonna burn right stanley cup through you and It would hurt a lot. But really, I stanley cup can ;t do justice to a bunch of incredibly intelligent physicists talking about shoving a hand in front of the world most expensive experiment. You ;ll just have to watch it yourself. [Sixty Symbols via The Guardian] PhysicsScience
