Imagine being able to watch as Edison turned on the first light bulb, or as Franklin received his first jolt of electricity. For the first time, a film gives audiences a front row seat to a significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. Particle Fever follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet, pushing the edge of human innovation. As they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe, 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries joined forces in pursuit of a single goal: to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the Big Bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we reached our limit in understanding why we exist? Directed by Mark Levinson, a physicist turned filmmaker, and masterfully edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient), Particle Fever is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind this epic machine.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: On Tuesday morning, April 15th, the full Moon will pass through the shadow of Earth, producing a colorful lunar eclipse. Although the mainstream media is calling this a "blood moon," the color is more likely to be bright orange. At the moment, Earth's stratosphere is not dusty enough produce a shadow with the deep red hues of blood. Whatever color it turns out to be, the eclipse will be visible from North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. Check http://spaceweather.com for observing tips and more information. LIVE WEBCAST OF THE ECLIPSE: Got clouds? No problem. The lunar eclipse will be broadcast live on the web by the Coca-Cola Science Center at Columbus State University in Georgia: http://www.ccssc.org/webcast.html Originally shared by +Jeff Sullivan Total Lunar Eclipse Tomorrow NightDepending upon where you live on the planet, a lunar eclipse will occur starting either late April 14 or in the early morning hours of April 15.

Heartbleed SSL vulnerability… Go read the mashable article with sites that were compromised Originally shared by +Robert Scoble Changing passwords is a pain in the behind. But everyone should be doing this because of the Heartbleed security problems that have come to surface the last few days: http://www.techmeme.com/140410/p3#a140410p3 Some things: 1. If you don't have a different password for each site you are doing it wrong! (Particularly for banks, email, and major social networks).2. If your password isn't at least 12 characters long, you are doing it wrong!3. If your passwords have ANY dictionary names in them, you are doing it wrong (things that appear in the dictionary).4. If you aren't using two-factor authentication on EVERY site that offers such (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter all do) then you are doing it wrong.5. If you aren't using a password manager like Lastpass then you are probably doing it wrong (I let it generate all my passwords now to make sure I get truly strong 20-character passwords). Good luck out there! The Heartbleed Hit List: The Passwords You Need to Change Right NowThis story, by Mashable, appeared on Techmeme.

If I could I would want to see a neutron star before I die.. Originally shared by +annarita ruberto Pulsars, a kind of cosmic lighthouses The Pulsars (Pulsating Radio Sources) are rapidly rotating neutron stars with a very high magnetic field, which emit a collimated beam of radio waves.The radio emission, coming from the magnetic poles of the star, is confined within a small cone of emission and, if the magnetic axis is not aligned with the rotational one, the neutron star acts as a sort of cosmic lighthouse and an observer on Earth will see a sequence of pulses of radio waves. Let's see how a pulsar comes into being. When a massive star, exhausted its nuclear fuel, ends its life, it happens a supernova explosion and it remains a compact remnant . This object, named Neutron Star, has a radius of about 10 km and a mass equal about to 1.5 that one of the sun (whose radius is 700,000 miles). A Neutron Star is thus the "ash" that remains when a massive star collapses on itself and burns. The gravity force prevails on the electronic force that holds the atoms separated from each other and compresses them […]
