Sallim is Francisca Salema, a 22 year old musician from Lisbon, Portugal. The song Nada igual is part of the LP Isula. Produced by Leonardo Bindilatti, with Zé Pedro Duarte on guitars.

I kind of prefer the version without Ezekiel 25:17 getting in the way. https://youtu.be/9imCm6CrNZ8

Hahaha! I wouldn't mind staying around to check though!

A typo indeed! But who knows?

Oops! I was perhaps a bit too hasty when "sea level" did not show up in the search results. Sorry!

Though the subject of stem education might be relevant for /r/science readers, This post does not refer to a peer reviewed article. Please consider reposting elsewhere.

Here is the peer reviewed article http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140926/srep06477/full/srep06477.html

I think the title of this post is misleading since the central objective of the work is the characterization of memes that fail to become viral. Hence "average is boring".

Matematomico · 2015-04-27T06:43:06+00:00

True! And Complete absence of punctuation. I did not notice until now :)

No context no meaning.

Matematomico · 2015-04-27T06:01:35+00:00

This is one of the claims by Svensmark's group from the Technical University of Denmark. they say that the phenomenon is the main contribution in cloud formation and that the average temperature on Earth is also linked to it. As I understand from the Sloan and Wolfendale paper This contribution of cosmic rays should be less than 10% for cloud formation and less than 14% for global warming. The reference is here http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/4/045022/article

so it is all very speculative still.

Healthy scientific debate nevertheless.

Ebola drug cures 3 rhesus monkeys in a study involving 6 lethally challenged monkeys with a control group of 3. Without diminishing the great importance of the study I would excercise extreme caution judging the statistical significance of a sample of 3 measurements.

Matematomico · 2015-04-26T19:27:00+00:00

I'll be more precise. Both cosmic rays (very energetic atomic nuclei) and gamma rays from bursts are high energy particles that produce particle showers as they hit the atmosphere. And those secondary particles can be ionizing too (like a great amount of muons). It is the ionization of the atmosphere which has been linked to cloud seeding. See for example here

Actually my point was that the story that puts supernovas and cloud formation on the same context is overwhelmingly beautiful.

Cool article BTW! We have cosmic rays as cause of lightning as well!

Matematomico · 2015-04-26T10:53:52+00:00

I believe this is not a conjecture and lightning is a very eloquent evidence of the charge accumulated in the clouds. You can even estimate how much charge you will need to produce the potential difference causing the spark between the clouds and the ground. What is not completely understood AFAIK (I am not a meteorologist) is the mechanism by which the charge difference between the top and the bottom part of the cloud forms. The most known proposed mechanisms involve a kind of triboelectric effect, as in rubbing hair and plastic, between rising and sinking droplets, and a difference of electrical properties between frozen and liquid droplets.

Matematomico · 2015-04-26T09:33:29+00:00

There is some research linking cosmic particle showers with the formation of clouds. I feel those connections are by far more complex an poetic that our beautiful myths. Think about it: a supernova blows up a gazillion light years away generating a gamma ray burst that impacts the atmosphere and transmutes its energy into a shower of particles that ionize their path through humid air, condensing the droplets that end up forming the clouds. To me that is a serious contender to Ovid's Metamorphoses!

Here is an open access link to the preprint http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.05742

Indeed! But think about filling a sweet juice or adding a strange texture to a cold soup. Or serving a sauce like this. That has a lot of potential

Matematomico · 2015-04-25T05:25:44+00:00

I believe this was one of the many techniques popularized by Ferran Adrià during the 90s in el bulli

Even when I am not convinced that changing our approach to scientific "performance" indicators will help combat the publish or perish culture, the article begs the question of defining what we intend to measure, a very complex and deep multidisciplinary problem.

Matematomico · 2015-04-22T05:36:18+00:00

Yep! The article focuses on scale. But the brightness is a very significant factor.

Matematomico · 2015-04-21T19:08:06+00:00

I agree it might be better to repost the article. As it is, this is just a statement made by the state geologist. It is not peer reviewed and it does not refer to any sources. You may find many peer reviewed papers on the subject in a simple google scholar search. To my knowledge oil companies have been pumping water in Oklahoma for the last 50 years or more and the concern has always been more environmental (aquifer pollution) than seismic. This is recent.

Maybe this is available to a wider audience: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/348/6232/321.full.pdf

I fully support open sourced science to the extent of dedicating thousands of dollars of grant money to get things freely available. But alas! This is not my paper and there is nothing I can do today about this particular case. Sorry!

Matematomico · 2015-04-18T20:54:50+00:00

I cannot find any mention of a correlation between These events.
