You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

"Mine's a potato martini. Serve it cold."
Having understood what is meant by determinism, initial conditions, and uncertainty of measurements, you can now learn about dynamical instability, which to most physicists is the same in meaning as chaos. Because long-term mathematical predictions made for chaotic systems are no more accurate that random chance, the equations of motion can yield only short-term predictions with any degree of accuracy. At the time of its discovery, the phenomenon of chaotic motion was considered a mathematical oddity. In the decades since then, physicists have come to discover that chaotic behavior is much more widespread, and may even be the norm in the universe. Thus the presence of chaotic systems in nature seems to place a limit on our ability to apply deterministic physical laws to predict motions with any degree of certainty. The discovery of chaos seems to imply that randomness lurks at the core of any deterministic model of the universe. One of the most interesting issues in the study of chaotic systems is whether or not the presence of chaos may actually produce ordered structures and patterns on a larger scale. Some scientists have come to believe that the presence of chaos in physics is what gives the universe its "arrow of time," the irreversible flow from the past to the future.

It’s Time for Everyone to Shut Up About Bacon
"Let me break it down for you. Everyone loves bacon. Saying you love bacon is like saying you love chocolate. It's like saying Meryl Streep is a good actress. It's like saying that you masturbate (if you're a man) or that get PMS (if you're a woman) or that you want to punch Katherine Heigl in her smug ****ing face (if you are a human). Being crazy for bacon does not make you special or interesting, it makes you a person with a tongue. That is all.
Since liking bacon does not make you interesting, neither does wanting everything to taste like, smell like, or look like bacon. It just makes you a sad person with no other interests and a lazy palate that can't discern what else it likes beside the obvious fried and fatty pork. Go ahead and love your bacon, just shut up about it. Oh, and hope that they come out with bacon-flavored Lipitor, because you're going to need that real soon."

Hydrogen-powered boat creates its own fuel as it goes
We love water toys with interesting propulsion systems, and the new MIG 675 cruiser will certainly fit the bill. It will reportedly produce its own fuel by using an onboard generator to harvest hydrogen directly from the seawater itself.
The website for the MIG 675 boasts an onboard generator that will provide for live hydrogen production, which means there are no risky, unstable hydrogen tanks to worry about. The hydrogen will power a 500 horsepower engine that is reported to propel the 22-foot-long, 2,866-pound aluminum-hulled watercraft up to 70 mph.
