 | Broken glass cupcakes video here: www.youtube.com Found the idea here: forkableblog.com To make the candy glass: 2 cups water 3 1/2 cups white granutlated sugar 1 cup light corn syrup or liquid glucose 1/4 tsp cream of tartar A word on substitutions... -There are substitutes for corn syrup in certain recipes (like honey) but I have no idea if they can be used in candy glass making. I took a quick look on the internet for the information, but couldn't find it. If any of you know, please let me know in the comments. Corn syrup maybe know to your country as liquid glucose or Karo syrup. - You can't reduce the sugar in this, candy glass is made of sugar and nothing else. Yes it is bad for you, let's move on shall we..... First line a baking sheet or dish with aluminum foil and then grease the foil with cooking spray. Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan over medium high heat and stir the mixture until it comes to a boil and the sugar is dissolved. Once it comes to a boil you can stop stirring. Boil the mixture until the temperature reaches 300F (150C). A candy thermometer is perfect for this and I recommend that you use one. However if you don't have one make sure the reaches the "hard crack stage". This will take about 15 or 20 minutes. Here is an illustrated guide to the candy making stages and what they look like: candy.about.com Pour the mixture very quickly into the oiled pan. Be super careful, the sugar will be VERY hot and will cause severe burns if it touches <b>...</b> | Views: 15288   522 ratings |

 | I was delousing my little sister, and came across several of these little guys. Before killing them with a chemical treatment, I decided to see what they looked like under my microscope. I used a Dino Light 1.5 megapixel microscope camera, at both 4x and 10x objective lens. Sorry for it being occasionally out of focus. Filming live organisms can be a little hard, due to the ever so slight movements messing with the focus. I did concentrate on the intestinal tract, as it seemed quite interesting. I would have gone up to 400x, but it would have to be dead for me to keep it in focus. And don't worry, I killed it. Along with all the other hundred or so. With lots of chemicals. | Views: 3 1 ratings |

 | Ever since Princeton physicist John Wheeler coined the term nearly 50 years ago, black holes have evoked a sense of mystery and wonder for astronomers and space enthusiasts. But unlike comets, stars and other beautiful objects in the night sky, black holes can't actually be seen -- they trap light, after all. From this infinitely dark void, myths and misconceptions have taken flight, spurred by the sci-fi depictions of black holes as cold cosmic villains with a bottomless appetite for nearby planets, stars and mighty spacecrafts whizzing through the galaxy at warp speed. Even though black holes don't behave like the celestial monsters with insatiable appetites they're sometimes caricatured to be, there is still plenty of wonder and unanswered questions about them to satisfy astronomers for years to come. For example, scientists have distinguished between two major classes of black holes -- stellar black holes (also known as stellar-mass black holes) and supermassive black holes. The former are roughly six to 30 times the mass of the sun and the latter are a whopping million to billions of times the mass of the sun. So are there intermediate-mass black holes, on the order of hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the sun? Quite possibly, yes. In August, a team from Keio University in Japan announced their discovery of a region of space 30000 light years away which they suspect might contain young, intermediate-mass black holes. One of these black hole candidates is <b>...</b> | Views: 8 1 ratings |

The WOW Signal - Stephen Hawking's Universe [HD]

 | " The "Wow!" source radio emission entered the receiver of the Big Ear radio telescope at about 11 : 16 pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time on August 15, 1977. The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Dr. Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while working on a Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence SETI project at The Big Ear radio telescope of Ohio State University. The signal bore expected hallmarks of potential non-terrestrial and non-solar system origin. It lasted for a total of 72 seconds, the full duration Big Ear observed it, but has not been detected again. Much attention has been focused on it in the media when talking about SETI results. Both the length of the Wow! signal, 72 seconds, and its shape corresponds to an extraterrestrial origin but its source remains unexplained. The region of the sky in which the signal was heard, lies in the constellation Sagittarius, roughly 2.5 degrees south of the fifth-magnitude star Chi-1 Sagittarii. Since then, its never been heard again. " BigEar " Destroyed In late 1997, after almost 40 years of operation, the Ohio State University Radio Observatory, with its "Big Ear" radio telescope, ceased operation. The land on which the observatory was sitting (owned by the Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio) was sold by them in 1983 to land developers who later claimed their rights to develop the land. The telescope was destroyed in early 1998. An adjacent 9-hole golf course was expanded into 18 holes and <b>...</b> | Views: 29 1 ratings |
