            Boaty McBoatface wins overwhelmingly, but the NERC will probably pick a different name.

                As a conscious realist, I am postulating conscious experiences as ontological primitives, the most basic ingredients of the world. I’m claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. The experiences of everyday life — my real feeling of a headache, my real taste of chocolate — that really is the ultimate nature of reality.
                This fits with my hunch that time is not a "real" thing anywhere near a constant, under any conditions.

                  The total exoplanet tally now stands at about 3,200, and Kepler has found 2,235 of them.

                    No applause, just throw money.

                    Nasa's Kepler telescope has discovered more than 100 Earth-sized planets orbiting alien stars.

                    It has also detected nine small planets within so-called habitable zones, where conditions are favourable for liquid water - and potentially life.
                    ...
                    Dr Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at Nasa's Ames Research Center in California, said calculations suggested there could be more than 10 billion potentially habitable planets in the Milky Way.
                    We are so not alone.

                    The nearest potentially habitable earth-sized planet in a Goldilocks zone is 11 light years. Give us 15 years to get good enough at engineering micro-probes we can accelerate to near the speed of light. Typical estimates for flight with acceleration and deceleration run about 2*the number of ly. So the first round trips may be completed in some of your lifetimes (not mine, dangit), about 2070. And if they're small enough we can send a few hundred thousand of them at a pop.

                    Code them to be self-assembling / self-reproducing and we can probably collect data from a few thousand planetary system within a hundred years.

                    Or we could just hang out here murdering one another over iron age garbage and ape territoriality.

                    Kids: the choice is yours.

                      Closer and closer to understanding the moment(s) of transit from "non-life" to "life."

                      Chemists in Germany today report a plausible way in which basic chemicals available on early Earth may have given rise to compounds called purines—chemicals that are a key ingredient of DNA, RNA, and energy metabolism in all cells.

                      The new work is “very pretty chemistry,” says Gerald Joyce, a chemist at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California, who specializes in the chemistry that may have given rise to life.

                      Joyce and others have long suggested that one of the key early events in this process was the formation of RNA—a long chainlike molecule that conveys genetic information and speeds up other chemical reactions. Both of those functions were necessary for life to evolve. But sorting out how RNA itself may have arisen—and led to an “RNA world”—has been a struggle.
                      I remember being 10 and watching Jacob Bronowski in the episode of The Ascent of Man where he discusses synthesizing amino acids, and barely understanding just enough to have the top of my little skull blown off. 43 years later we're about 99% closer to understanding the actual process. When complete, it will clearly rank among the greatest scientific discoveries in human history.

                        Climate denying dope leading climate denying dope party names climate denying dope as energy advisor.

                        He’s part of the tiny, tiny head-in-the-sand deniers who won’t even acknowledge the planet’s heating up. That line in the video where he says, “We know the globe is cooling; number one we know that” is from 2012, just a few years ago. We’ve known since long before then the planet is heating up, and the past few years the warming has gone into overdrive; each of the past seven months have been the hottest of those months globally. To actually say out loud that the Earth is cooling would make Orwell blush.

                        But he wasn’t done; he also added, “… the idea that CO2 is somehow causing global warming is on its face fraudulent.”

                        Holy. Baloney. He’s not just denying global warming, he’s denying a link between carbon dioxide and the planet’s increasing temperature. For the record, carbon dioxide being a greenhouse gas has been a matter of scientific fact since 1896.
