Mini Mag 85

Guru Tony says … EU body advises renewable energy no more expensive than fossil fuel & nuclear. So what’s the problem? Smaller companies can run renewables, making big biz redundant. They don’t like that.

Dr Illya Ness says … Warnings grow over handing health service budget in UK to GPs. The reason why is obvious. It will bring private companies in, and State hospitals just can’t compete.

Prof Isaac Galistein says … Physicists at LHC say they’ve seen hints of Higgs Boson particle. Is it god saying ‘peekaboo’, or reality bending to what they expect to see? I think the latter.

FUTURE ZONE

VISITATION: The alien landed & peeped
out of the hatch. A young man ran off; said:
‘look at this.’ Their main weapon appeared.
Her stare was intense and scary and the
alien fled, leaving a beacon in orbit: Beware.
Planet contains mothers-in-law.

WINTER: It was the far future. There was no warm glow from the weather. The Gulf Stream had shut off and without the warming waters, North West Europe froze. Global Climate Control thought they knew what they were doing, and soon Santa was riding his rocket sleigh, leaving a warm glow in the kids. And tomorrow the Gulf Stream would be switched back on.

New Telescope

Prof Galistein says …

New telescope on-line. Will it disclose secrets of universe, or confirm what we think is there? Does it see reality or help create it?

LANGUAGE: She spoke in strange language – vile,
raspish, tormented … and tormenting. I really
didn’t know what possessed her.

Faster Than Light

Prof Galistein says …

Faster-than-light neutrinos? Let’s wait for validation. But stop talking of laws of the universe. They’re laws of man. They can change.

Shuttle Off

Prof Galistein reporting …

The last Shuttle mission. It was always a weak attempt at space exploration, but at least, it was a start. And now, no more. Throughout history man has had to answer his curiosity through exploration. Until now. Mankind has lost its soul.

Pondering On Mladic

Polly Ticks reporting …

The arrest of Ratko Mladic is good. He committed the worst astrocity in Europe since the Nazis, but we need a reminder that maybe we’re not cured of atrocity. Our society is simply comfortable enough to not do it.

Remember Memory

Prof Galistein reporting …

The ability to memorise things seems to be vanishing. I’m not surprised. When writing appeared the memory people who spoke of knowledge began to disappear. Now with info at the touch of a button, evolution could strike another blow to our mind.
