The Guinness Book of World Records has tagged the Spider 2GX as the most powerful hand-held laser in the world. The Spyder II GX is a military-grade laser gadget encased in a lightweight 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum shell.
The laser body is Military Type III black anodized to protect against scratches. It’s water resistant and well… fit for the rough play or plans you may have. It’s a great tool for laser tag games or whatever you may find fun to do in the dark. Read the rest of this entry
Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of the 21st century.The British physicist and mathematician has made fundamental contributions to the science of cosmology—the study of the origins, structure, and space-time relationships of the universe.
On January 8, 1942, Stephen Hawking was born to Frank and Isobel Hawking in Oxford, England. He had two younger sisters, Philippa and Mary, and an adopted brother, Edward.Hawking was always interested in science.
Inspired by his mathematics teacher, he originally wanted to study the subject at university. However, Hawking’s father wanted him to apply to University College, Oxford, where his father had attended. Read the rest of this entry
British researchers may have uncovered a partial answer to the age-old question, “what came first the chicken or the egg?”
According to a team, comprising researchers from the University of Warwick and the University of Sheffield, the answer is “chicken” or at least a particular chicken protein.
There is, however, a further twist - this particular chicken protein turns out to come both first and last. That neat trick it performs provides new insights into control of crystal growth which is key to egg shell production. Read the rest of this entry
If you’ve had your fill of apocalyptic scenarios, earthquakes, volcanoes and global warming, here comes a new threat which may wipe out the world in 2013.Imagine a scene from any of Hollywood’s disaster films. An eerie scene where mobile phones go on the blink, GPS is knocked out, TVs go blank and the world is plunged into chaos.
Looks like disaster flicks aren’t too removed from reality since all this could well be the potential result of a gigantic solar storm, according to a new report by NASA. The report, a warning, says Earth and space are coming together in a way that’s new to human history. Read the rest of this entry

Earth Hour was started by TckTckTck partner WWF in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Read the rest of this entry
Researchers have developed a new type of atomic clock that is significantly more stable and therefore far more precise than the current technology in use. Experiments suggest the clock is accurate to about one second in a 100 million years.
It works on the same basic principle that microwave atomic clocks have employed since the 1950s, but utilises optical (visible) light, which being of a higher frequency, provides more accurate timekeeping. The new optical atomic clock’s creators say that their new timepiece will provide “an even finer-grained view of the physical world.” Read the rest of this entry
