Little Red Riding Hood=MC2The physics of fairy tales. Bringing a gold-laying goose to life, meanwhile, requires a bit of Newtonian physics. "What if a goose really had to lay a golden egg?" Stocklmayer asked. "When they lay a regular egg, it comes out quite soft so they can squeeze it out. But gold is obviously hard [by comparison]." According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, every action requires an equal and opposite reaction. "If you assume the golden egg is three kilograms [seven pounds], then the laws of physics dictate that when the goose ejects the egg it would have to move in the opposition direction to the egg but with equal force," she said. The industrious goose would therefore shoot away from its egg with the same coniderable amount of force required to lay the egg. "We use a steel ball bearing and a mechanical hen, and that's exactly what happens," Stocklmayer said. Home

The statistics of successHow did The Da Vinci Code (known in Newfoundland as "The Da Vinci Cod") become such a blockbuster when it should have been destined for the remainder bin (it only had a 36% chance of success, apparently...)? Scientists, those wacky daffy wild and crazy guys and gals, investigate. Home

And speaking of the brainHow meat becomes mind, as opposed to, you know, a grilled T-bone. I love popular science in newspapers. I wish our papers did it. Well. Home

Evolutionary biology as linguistic toolArticles like this make me all hot in my pants. But I just can't get off on anything less than 10,000 words. I need more time! I'm not a machine, you know! Home
