[Note: Turn up the volume for an epic remix!]
Epic auto tune of the quantum theory of the universe. This is actually part of a series called the Symphony of Science, which is a catchy way to deliver scientific concepts in the form of remixes. This particular video is interesting as it includes footage of Morgan Freeman, Michio Kaoku (my personal hero for his work on Parallel Worlds) and Stephen Hawking among many other personas in science.
My friend Meg introduced this “light in a bottle” concept many months ago. It’s an absolutely brilliant innovation that was made many many years ago but seems to only be well organized now by a non-profit group led by Illac Diaz (@illacdiaz) and the My Shelter Foundation.
This is definitely a sustainable way to dispose of your old softdrink bottles — turn them into eco-friendly light sources for your homes. Also, it’s practically free! The solar bottle bulb project was developed by students at MIT under the principles of Appropriate Technologies, which are sustainable and affordable ways to help underprivileged communities acquire basic needs.

A rogue with an eye for salvage – and the ladies – Ray: A Life Underwater is an affectionate portrait of one man’s deep sea diving career, told through his extraordinary collection of marine artefacts.
Like a modern-day pirate, 75-year-old Ray Ives has been scouring the seabed for treasure his whole life.
The former commercial diver has plundered the deep for over fifty years, bringing to the surface anything that glittered — even gold.
In a shipping container near the water, Ray tends his museum of cannon, bottles, bells, swords, portholes and diving gear.
He even still takes to the water in a 1900s diving suit.

The journey underwater reflects the awe of parallel worlds. When man looks to the stars, he sees a longing for his knowledge to fill the vacuum of space. If a man closes his eyes underwater, it is in all likelihood that this is the same feeling. Of weightlessness. Of conquering new frontiers. Of being where the human body was not built to be.
