Over at the AoSHQ Overnight OPen Thread they have this to say (links removed, go there to enjoy!):
Climate ChangeThe only thing I take exception with is that they misspelled Arse Technica.

Maybe you can't get consensus on teaching this crap because it's all about profit and not science.

More on gravity waves. When does 29 and 36 equal only 62? When you're combining two black holes of 29 and 36 solar masses, and three solar masses are converted entirely into energy and radiated away as gravity waves.
...that is a stunning amount of energy we're talking about. E=mc², and when the "m" is three times the mass of the Sun--

Tonight Mrs. Fungus and I watched Tomorrowland and really, really enjoyed it. Britt Robertson played Casey Newton exactly the way Amber Tamblyn would have about fifteen or twenty years ago; I thought her performance was brilliant. What a good movie.

Well, what the hey.
