Marijuana could soon be legalised in Copenhagen, after the city voted overwhelmingly in favour of a scheme that would see the drug sold through a network of state-run shops and cafes. The scheme, if approved by the Danish parliament at the start of next year, could make the city the first to fully legalise, rather than simply tolerate, marijuana consumption. The drug is already sold openly on the streets…

The Casimir Effect Observed in Superconducting Circuit Scientists at Chalmers have succeeded in creating light from vacuum — observing an effect first predicted over 40 years ago. In an innovative experiment, the scientists have managed to capture some of the photons that are constantly appearing and disappearing in the vacuum. The experiment is based on one of the most counterintuitive, yet, one of the most important principles in quantum…

What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you’re renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of “Earthship Biotecture” by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However,…

A computer virus has infected the cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots’ every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones. The virus, first detected nearly two weeks ago by the military’s Host-Based Security System, has not prevented pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from flying their missions overseas. Nor have there been any confirmed incidents of classified information being lost…

Introducing:: “World’s First Time Machine” (Documentary by the Discovery Channel) Contains some interesting predictions about our “near” future…

Personally I do not like scooters very much… Nor do I like them leaking oil all over the skate-park… I actually do not know whether to have a good laugh at this, to cry or to be excited for having a future “extreme sport” in the making… Either way, share this video or get opinionated (leave a msg below).

Get sustainable! Share this video with everyone who might be interested in changing their environment. Less dependence on oil for plastic goods Less weight on the shoulders of third world countries Less CO2 emission More closed cycles Of course one doesn’t change the world by only this, we have to keep in mind to: Change the way we live Consume only what we need Remember we can achieve anything…
