TED: Future of Medicine

This is absolutely amazing and long anticipated technology that will change preventative medicine. Imagine going for a physical (what is a physical anyway?) and obtaining a 3D, interactive map of your entire body. Computers and software haven't, as of yet, met their full potential when it comes to "catching" illness early; But, I foresee them fast approaching... Big hats off to Anders Ynnerman and everyone who helped him create this technology.

TED: Contagious Cancer

Incredibly thought-provoking talk by Elizabeth Murchison. We've been looking at cancer all wrong...

Thought: Light

There is an article (here) that talks about a particle moving faster than the speed of light.. Which got me thinking about what the speed of light is, and granted scientists have figured this out, but I'm not a scientist, so I can still hypothesize... Nothing concrete; But light needs particles to be seen.. light waves traveling across webs of atoms in a sort of chain reaction... not a diffusion, as in other waves (i.e. sound, vibration).  Light seems to have a unique property of holding intensity through space... Does light get trapped in anything?  A circle of particles...  The speed of light is the speed of lightning.. the speed of our neurons, the speed of automatic response within the particle, not the disruption caused by movement.. Is it the transferring of electrons? Or hitting electrons, like in tetherball... Makes more sense to me in these terms how light creates life.
