HOW BLACK SWAN GOT SO WEIRD

DEBBIE DOWNER

Here's something to help you sleep at night: Scientists are now saying that the last Ice Age that ended all life on Earth happened within a year...

"Our new, extremely detailed data from the examination of the ice cores shows that in the transition from the ice age to our current warm, interglacial period the climate shift is so sudden that it is as if a button was pressed."

Cue Debby Downer.

QUOTED

 

"...I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected, moved, or manipulated...by our personality as it survives in the next life, such an instrument, when made available, ought to record something."

- Thomas Edison

MELTING GLASS DISCOVERY

This is weird. Apparently, glass will melt both when it's too hot - and when it's too cold...

Here's why:

"Most of the time, not many interesting things happen once a substance gets below the temperature required for solification. Its atoms are bound to one another, and without the indroduction of some kind of energy, they'll stay that way. Glass, it turns out, is the exception. Once it gets close to absolute zero, it melts again.

But what could make that happen? The atoms in glass chilled to near-absolute zero have almost no energy, so they can't be jiggling fast enough to tear apart from each other. And yet, on paper and in computer simulations, glass returned to a liquid form when brought close enough to absolute zero.

The wild card turned out to be quantum mechanics. Once the atoms of glass became still enough, they stopped acting like particles and instead acted like waves. The wave-like atoms now were able to flow, moving through spaces too small for particles to get through. This motion, and this ability to fit through small spaces, causes ultra-cold glass to melt into a liquid. No word yet if this works on the T-1000.
