Freedom, exhilaration, adventure: The dream of personal flight is as old as mankind. In the 21st century the daring vision of Daedalus has finally come true! Depending on pilot weight, a standard JETLEV-FLYER could reach an altitude of 10 m, top speeds of 65 km/h and has a cruising duration of 1 – 2 hours. So, stop dreaming – start flying!
The wonderful world of insects contains some of the most bizarre-looking creatures in existence and caterpillars are not an exception. Actually, a caterpillar is a young butterfly or moth that has just hatched out of its egg. Their look varies from scary to cute, but they always grab my attention when I find one in my garden.
No matter how powerful God seems to be, he sometimes just runs out of paint (melanin), and every time this happens an albino animal is born. Albino animals are rare in nature, and a man always had a fascination for these creatures since ancient times. Some cultures considered albinos as sacred animals,while others – as demoniac ones, but I’m sure you will find it very educating to see this list of 26 weird albino animals.
I would have never thought that one could make such masterpieces using just a single sheet of paper! There must be some heavy drugs involved.
There are many people who say that Photoshop is bad, and that you shouldn’t alter your photos digitally (or at most you should do just some brightness corrections).
Well, panda thinks that this is a big BS! Why should we suppress our creativity in any way? Just look at these inspirational photo manipulations by Erik Johansson, could it be done without Photoshop? No!
Balakov is a guy from United Kingdom that takes a lot of LEGO pictures and says that he loves “messing about with macro lighting”. Where did he learn photography, or more exactly working with lights? “Strobist.com taught me everything I know.” says Balakov. Panda is proud to present his incredible collection or reproductions called “Classics in LEGO”.
If you looked down the most powerful light microscope in the world, you’d be able to distinguish individual objects that are around 200 nanometres apart – roughly 1/500 the width of a human hair. But objects closer together than that would just merge into one. This is because the wavelength of visible light is longer than 200 nanometres.
But electron microscopes use beams of electrons, instead of light. The wavelength of these electron beams is much shorter, allowing scientists to see structures as small as 1 nanometre (1 millionth of a millimetre).
When you get bored of looking at the world with your own eyes why not look at it trough a microscope?
Just looking at the micro world takes our breath away – it’s incredibly rich, beautiful and active. I’ve heard that even science people after looking at the smallest corners of our world see a god here.
My first reaction when I saw these weird dog hairdos was – wow, this is awesome!
But then the second thought came to me – this is awesome just for us, but how about those little guys from the animal kingdom? You know, panda (me) is one of them, so I’m really concerned.
And are these haircuts weird, or is it otherwise – people who do these haircuts are the biggest weirdoes?
