What usually keeps the Gulf Stream running is that warm water is lighter than cold water, so it floats on the surface. As it reaches Europe and releases its heat, the current grows denser and sinks, flowing back to the south and crossing under the northbound Gulf Stream until it reaches the tropics and starts to warm again. The cycle works splendidly, provided the water remains salty enough. But if it becomes diluted by freshwater, the salt concentration drops, and the water gets lighter, idling on top and stalling the current. Last December, researchers associated with Britain's National Oceanography...
...later for the sole purpose of devoting himself to composition. “He was happiest when he was writing music,” Lora Martino said. Although labeled as a Serial or a 12-tone composer, Martino never seemed to agree with these titles. In addition to being denser and more complex, his music often included an improvisatory element. “He was a kooky guy and always cracking jokes,” his son, Christopher Martino, said. “People who were his close friends knew this, but I don’t think the rest...
...findings in a paper submitted for publication to the Astrophysical Journal Letters. Traditional images of nebulae, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, employ only the visible light spectrum. While these images can be impressive, they reveal only the surface of the cosmic clouds—not the deeper and denser regions in which stars are formed. Foster and Goodman were taking images of a nebula using near-infrared bands—which are far outside the visible light range—when they found something new. They discovered that ambient light from the surrounding stars was illuminating their cloud. Astronomers...

This psychedelic eye chart is set in 2019, the same year as Blade Runner, and paints its Neo-Tokyo with even denser splashes of noir on neon. The mix of outlaw attitude and brain-breaking speculation may convince you that the Wachowskis were channeling Akira when they wrote The Matrix. The special-edition DVD restores the original film in all its gaudio-visual splendor...
