How Long Until Drake's Iceman Sculpture Melts? A Quantum Physicist Weighs In

"If the structure were fully solid, this would correspond to roughly 350 tons of ice! In practice, the structure is almost certainly partially hollow...so the true mass is lower. Even so, it is almost certainly above 200 tons."

Feel Like the World Is Against You? Try a New Perspective

You've encountered them: people who feel like life is an ongoing struggle filled with endless problems. Or perhaps this is how you feel. There are valid reasons to feel this way. When you think about your life, it may seem like it's only filled with pain, regret, and tragedy. It's easy to hear someone say, 'just be happy,' but that can sound dismissive and trivial; the person speaking clearly doesn't truly understand your pain, and at some level, they don't seem to care.

Radical new theory of consciousness explains what happens when you die

Consciousness does not emerge from human brains, according to Professor Maria Strømme, a professor of nanotechnology at Uppsala University. Instead, she claims that it exists as a fundamental field. If this is correct, 'mysterious' phenomena such as telepathy, near-death experiences, and even life after death could finally be explained by science. According to Professor Strømme's theory, consciousness does not end when we die. Instead, when a person passes away, their consciousness simply returns to the background field.

Who is afraid of quantum mechanics? Books in brief

The BBC's first cyber correspondent, Joe Tidy, travels the world interviewing high-profile cybercriminals and cybersecurity experts - part of a growing industry worth US$200 billion. What most intrigues him after a decade is how often hackers are solitary teenage boys, teaming up from their bedrooms, often thousands of kilometres apart, to "cause mayhem". Why? Some want to hurt people, but a "decent chunk" have no idea of the harm and chaos they cause.
