I do so enjoy science. I don't profess the have an omniscient understanding of it, but I enjoy reading and learning about scientific discoveries. A group from the University of Nottingham has put together an interesting website devoted to explaining the symbols of physics and astronomy. The site is a matrix of 60 symbols that are accompanied by short (4-8 min.) videos explaining some of the concepts behind the symbols. If you enjoy these topics, I suggest checking the site out.
Sixty Symbols
Also an interesting fact about radio broadcasts from earth is they continue into space indefinitely. Gizmodo has a neat photo showing a map of neighbor stars that are just now starting to receive our t.v. shows and radio broadcasts. An interesting thought is what if intelligent life on those planets our broadcasting has just started reaching is listening and has no idea what to make of all the noise.
Galactic Broadcasts.
