Did You Know.......

Watch these Biomed Techs put a solid hunk of metal in the field of an MRI machine, and it will fall in slow motion because of the powerful magnetic field. A field strong enough to pull a metal screw out of your body like a bullet shot.

HOW IT WORKS
The aluminum is NOT magnetic. When the aluminum is placed into a magnetic field its creates a flow of electrons that make an electromagnet that REPELS the magnetic field entering it, so it falls very slowly. The flow flow of electrons creates friction as they flow, and that’s why it heats up and DOESNT FLOAT.

Crop circle identified as symbolic code for pi

Mathematicians are perplexed after a highly complex crop circle appeared in a Wiltshire field - depicting a fundamental mathematical symbol. The circle is, apparently, a coded image representing a complex mathematical number — the first ten digits of pi — and even astrophysicists admit they find it "mind-boggling".
The circular pattern was created in a barley field near Barbury Castle, an Iron Age hill fort, earlier this month. Measuring around 46m (150ft) in diameter, it has had crop circle enthusiasts and experts stumped.

Exercise Your Brain, or Else You’ll ... Uh ...
SAN FRANCISCO — When David Bunnell, a magazine publisher who lives in Berkeley, Calif., went to a FedEx store to send a package a few years ago, he suddenly drew a blank as he was filling out the forms.
"I couldn’t remember my address," said Mr. Bunnell, 60, with a measure of horror in his voice. "I knew where I lived, and I knew how to get there, but I didn’t know what the address was."
Mr. Bunnell is among tens of millions of baby boomers who are encountering the signs, by turns amusing and disconcerting, that accompany the decline of the brain’s acuity: a good friend’s name suddenly vanishing from memory; a frantic search for eyeglasses only to find them atop the head; milk taken from the refrigerator then put away in a cupboard.
"It’s probably one of the most frightening aspects of the changes we undergo as we age," said Nancy Ceridwyn, director of educational initiatives at the American Society on Aging. "Our memories are who we are. And if we lose our memories we lose that groundedness of who we are."
