Curious George: Nudes for Kids So my son is 8 years old, and has recently started getting very curious about the differences between male and female bodies. He's even come home talking about a friend at school who's gained respect in 2nd grade for having "accidentally" found some pics of naked women online (probably with the accidental help of his two older brothers), and so the little Pettle has expressed an interest in seeing naked women. more inside

An exhibition of the ten thousand slides owned by the Museum of the History of Science. (ssome exhibits require Flash) 'Over three-quarters of these are contained in a single cabinet on permanent loan from the Royal Microscopical Society, with specimens prepared between 1860 and 1930. Faced with the challenging task of mounting an engaging display of so many tiny exhibits, the Museum staff collaborated with artist Heather Barnett and performance poet Will Holloway to create ‘Small Worlds’, an exhibition in an unusual range of media - images, objects, film, animation, curtains, wallpaper and poetry.'

Quantum mechanics and Tomb Raider Quantum mechanics has a number of weird consequences, this focuses on three (inter-related) ones: 1. Objects can behave both like particles (with definite position and a continuum of states) and waves (with indefinite position and (in confined situations) quantised states; 2. The equations that govern quantum mechanics are deterministic, but the standard interpretation of the solutions of these equations is probabilistic; and 3. If instead one applies the laws of quantum mechanics literally at the macroscopic scale, then the universe itself must split into the superposition of many distinct "worlds".
