The Quantum Robin: How a Small Bird Uses Quantum Mechanics to See the Earth’s Magnetic Field
The European robin is a small bird with a bright orange chest and a gentle, familiar presence in gardens across Europe. It looks ordinary, but inside its eyes something remarkable is happening. Scientists now believe that the robin may be using the strange rules of quantum mechanics to help it navigate across long distances. This idea sounds like something from science fiction, but it is supported by years of research from universities in Germany, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world. Because of this, the robin has become known as the “quantum robin,” a symbol of how nature sometimes uses physics in ways we never expected.

A Timely Reminder About The One Threat To Us All
It's still a collosal problem. And we are stuck between rocks and hardplaces, and getting more trapped by the year. And while everybody wants to scream, yell, and pound their fists about every other issue they claim to care about, people have slowly begun to voice their feelings much less about how petroleum is both pivotal to our existence, and a source of our problems.

The Door to Hell
In 1971, Soviet geologists accidentally opened a portal to an underground natural gas cavern in Turkmenistan's desert, and to prevent poisonous gas from spreading, they set it on fire expecting it to burn out in weeks—it's still burning today.
