Ker Than for National Geographic News Published April 9, 2010 Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.

Re: Intellectual thread for Gerien

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It feels as if everyone has told bankers where to get off in the past couple of years. That’s certainly the case with a letter written by Cambridge University, though this time it’s not a criticism of irresponsible lending and investment. Instead Britain’s banks have been told to g...

Re: I'm a (rental) dad.

Re: I'm a (rental) dad.

The rental ended today. Ruben's sister got a studio apartment funded in part by the city. Building is only for young mothers. They just moved everything out.
