POPSThis article on our food supply is timely Wealthy nations have seen them feel quite unconcerned about the Earth's ability to grow enough food - but that is about to change. It is clear from spiraling prices that food production is entering a critical phase and that increasing numbers will be affected badly. The Third World, in the face of such shortages, appears doomed to even harsher times. We are very poor stewards of our planet!

POPSVirtuality and reality 'to merge' "In virtual worlds we do real romance, real learning, real business. Virtual reality is real reality." He added: "Games are the cutting edge of what is happening - we are going to spend more of our time in virtual reality environments. "Fully emergent games is really where we want to go. We will do most of our learning through these massively parallel interactions." "Play is how we principally learn and principally create," he said.

POPSEinstein's Biggest Blunder? Dark Energy May Be Consistent With Cosmological Constant From the article: Then, 12 years later, Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is not static -- it is actually expanding. So Einstein scrapped his idea of a cosmological constant and dismissed it as his biggest blunder. In 1998, however, two teams of scientists, one of which Texas A&M researcher Suntzeff co-founded, discovered that the universe is not only expanding, but its expansion is actually accelerating -- going faster and faster. "So there had to be some other force that had overcome the force of gravity and is driving the universe into an exponential acceleration," Suntzeff said. This opposing force is what scientists now call dark energy, and it is believed to constitute roughly 74 percent of the universe. The other constituents of the universe are dark matter, which composes about 22 percent of the universe, and ordinary matter, which is about 4 percent.
