Karpen's Pile: A Battery That Produces Energy Continuously Since 1950 Exists in Romanian Museum

This is pretty cool, now figure out how to scale it to a higher output!

"

Half a century ago, the pile's inventor had said it will work forever, and so far it looks like he was right. Karpen's perpetual motion machine now sits secured right in the director's office. It has been called "the uniform-temperature thermoelectric pile," and the first prototype has been built in the 1950s. Although it should have stopped working decades ago, it didn't.

The scientists can't explain how the contraption, patented in 1922, works. The fact that still puzzles them is how a man of such a scientific stature such as Karpen's could have started building something "that crazy."" See the rest HERE

Researchers Find Evidence of Other Universes Lurking in the Cosmic Background

I always figured since things are organized the way they are starting at an atomic level, that there would be other universes out there, and yet a larger structure beyond that.

 

"Just when the search for exoplanets looked like the undisputed fashionable field of study for 2010, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is stepping to the forefront of astronomy and cosmology. Last month, it was Oxford’s Roger Penrose claiming that he’d found evidence of a cyclical universe in patterns of concentric circles in the CMB, suggesting our universe is just one of many that have come before it (and will come after it). Now, another group of researchers are claiming the CMB contains evidence of other universes that exist concurrently (and outside of) our own.

The new evidence, put forth by a group of researchers at University College London, is based upon the model of “eternal inflation,” which is predicated on the idea that our universe is part of a larger and ever-expanding multiverse. Our universe is contained in a kind of cosmic bubble that exists alongside other universes contained in their own bubbles, and in these universes the rules of physics could be far different than in our own."

Customer asks for bacon, Muslim employee shits a brick

 

So the customer asks for some bacon, the KFC employee shits a brick and loses it.

 

"A worker at a Sydney Kentucky Fried Chicken has been suspended for going on a violent, curse-laden tirade after a customer asked for bacon.

The violent outburst happened at a Halal-friendly KFC in Punchbowl on December 26, allegedly after a customer became angry after being refused bacon on their burger.

The Punchbowl restaurant does not serve bacon or pork in accordance with Islamic law, and one employee can be heard saying “we don’t have bacon” before the other begins yelling." See the rest HERE
