Grad Students Turn Girl Scout Cookies Into $15 Billion Through Science!
It’s a dope day for science here on Omega Level. This is some straight up Dr. Manhattan type shit here. A bunch of grad students at Rice University have found a way of rearranging carbon atoms, turning a box of girl scout cookies into $15 billion dollars.
Do explain? Happily.

Test For Multiple Universes Finds Four. Oh Fringe Science, ILU.
If you follow this site, you know I love me some fringe science. Science that probably isn’t true in a zillion years, but has enough of a shred of evidence that it can tickle my Science-Fiction g-spot. How about multiple universes? Oh baby!

Scientists Find Evidence of Liquid Water On Mars’ Surface. Awesome.
Scientists have evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars. This makes my geek boner dial itself up to eleven. While we’ve known for some time that there lurks frozen water underneath Mars’ surface, scientists have identified what they’re calling seasonal streams of liquid water across the planet’s surface.
Awesome.
Dude Busted For Doing Fission Experiments. At Home.
I always jokingly remark that I’m a scientist. This is usually what I say when I push something, it buzzes loudly, and then I push it again. Or I want to drop an apple off the floor. Or something. Compared to this gentleman, I am nothing. This good man was doing fission experiments. At home. God love him.
Scientists Find 96 New Star Clusters In The Milky Way! Rock.
Enlarge. | Via.
Stars form in big ass groups known as open clusters. People smarter than me have tabulated that there should be about 30,000 of these sons a bitches lurking out in the Milky Way. Limited as we are, we haven’t found nearly that many.
Recently however, we found 96 more. Stick with it, boyos!
Oxygen Molecules Discovered In Space For First Time! Frak Space Helmets!…Right?
Oxygen molecules have been discovered in space for the first time! This explains why the Silver Surfer has always been buzzin’ around the cosmos wearing nothing but his birthday suit. Right? That’s totally how it works. Oxygen in space means no space helmets, dongs out! No? You’re certain it’s not?
Time-Lapse Shows Discovery As She’s Parked At The ISS, Orbiting Our Lovely Rock.
Well, there ain’t no more space shuttles to be had. Yet they serve as the gift that keeps on giving. Check out this latest example. The NASA Goddard Space Light Center put out this gorgeous time-lapse video. Behold Discovery as its docked to the International Space station, orbiting our Glorious Blue Rock. Set to some classic music, it’s pretty like woah.
That’s When I Saw The UFO
I saw a UFO a couple of nights ago. It was the damndest thing. I saw a UFO. I saw it. Miniscule, a star in the sky. I saw it. Nothing but an orange spec. I saw a UFO. I saw it spiral through the evening sky. Spinning in improbable circles. I’m telling you. It was the damndest thing. One moment a single orange star in the evening, the next moment a bright slash cutting across the sky. Quickly and with purpose. Spiraling through unseen loops, an orange blur across a midnight expanse.
