WATCH: The best explanation of quantum entanglement so far (Science Alert)

"Essentially quantum entanglement suggests that acting on a particle here can instantly influence a particle far away, something that is often described as theoretical teleportation. And the implications are HUGE for quantum mechanics and quantum computing. But if it's so complicated that not even Einstein could get his head around it, how do you explain it on YouTube? 

As Morello shows in this fantastic video, the best way is to first explain what it's not: classical correlation. And this can be done using a simple piece of paper and a red and blue text."

The Unexpected Way Philosophy Majors Are Changing The World Of Business

"As Horowitz demonstrates, a degree in philosophy can be useful for professions beyond a career in academia. Degrees like his can help in the business world, where a philosophy background can pave the way for real change. After earning his PhD in philosophy from Stanford, where he studied computer science as an undergraduate, Horowitz went on to become a successful tech entrepreneur and Google's in-house philosopher/director of engineering. His own career makes a pretty good case for the value of a philosophy education.

Despite a growing media interest in the study of philosophy and dramatically increasing enrollment in philosophy programs at some universities, the subject is still frequently dismissed as outmoded and impractical, removed from the everyday world and relegated to the loftiest of ivory towers."

Are We Approaching the End of Human History? | Perspectives | BillMoyers.com

"The IPCC report reaffirms that the "vast majority" of known fuel reserves must be left in the ground to avert intolerable risks to future generations. Meanwhile the major energy corporations make no secret of their goal of exploiting these reserves and discovering new ones.

A day before it ran a summary of the IPCC conclusions, The New York Times reported that huge Midwestern grain stocks are rotting so that the products of the North Dakota oil boom can be shipped by rail to Asia and Europe."

7 Common Workout Mistakes That May Be Sabotaging Your Health

"Exercising too much, either by working out too long or too frequently, can backfire in a number of ways. Many fail to appreciate the importance of recovery between sessions, and research has shown that endurance training can do more harm than good in the long run. As noted in the featured article: "A common physiological response to training is the release of certain hormones into the bloodstream, such as testosterone and dopamine. Going past 45 to 55 minutes per workout can put the body into a negative hormonal state." Adrenal fatigue and reduced performance can result when you exercise excessively."

Russia's problems begin with rational fears in Russia as fascist extremists take over Russian policy. Are they about to reveal themselves by ousting Putin?

"Going into their NATO summit in Wales on Thursday, Western leaders are focusing on a failed policy in Ukraine. And so far, they lack a plan to reverse Russia's aggressive moves to bolster separatists' hold on eastern Ukraine.

Just two weeks ago, Ukrainian troops appeared poised to wrap up a military offensive against Russian-backed separatists who'd been fighting an insurgency since April. But the Ukrainian gains were soon reversed as Russia ignored Western economic sanctions aimed at deterring its backing for the separatists and instead poured military support into the rebel cause, according to the Ukraine government and NATO."

As the Ukraine falls deeper and deeper into a thieve's hands.

The problem is diplomacy. Diplomats are like the politician's politician. If you thought politicians and nationalist leaders tell lies, then consider the diplomat, the consummate liars. Lawyers don't even come close! 

"President Obama doesn't seem to know what hit him in Ukraine the past week. He has been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Russian president Vladimir Putin. And yet the U.S. president expresses himself as if he still has something of consequence to say on the matter. The mismatch between the realities on the ground and the nature of the president's pronouncements reveals a president who is out of touch with reality."

How the Transatlantic Alliance Makes America Less Secure | The National Interest

"That fear turned out to be well grounded. European governments discovered that it didn't matter how little they spent on the military or respected America's priorities. Washington would keep them secure. NATO's European members broke promises to devote more money to the military, built a natural-gas pipeline to the Soviet Union, aided Washington's enemies in Latin America and blocked overflight by U.S. planes to bomb Libya. But the United States continued to defend the continent."

Expropriation of land reveals Netanyahu's strategy - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

Netanyahu is very much like Putin, is he not? 

"Netanyahu's horizon only extends as far as the skyline of the Etzion settlement bloc. If this is a responsible and sober move, it's hard to imagine what Netanyahu considers an irresponsible and reckless one. The unilateral move of declaring a West Bank area as state land reveals that the sole real commitment that the prime minister has given to the Palestinians to date was a fraud; in his famous peace speech, known as the Bar-Ilan speech, he pledged that "the territorial question will be discussed as part of the final peace agreement. In the meantime, we have no intention of building new settlements or of expropriating additional land for existing settlements." That was the only operational part of the vision he presented in June 2009.

Europe blind to Islamic State's true threat - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

"IS is a dangerous, sadistic version of Che Guevara's appeal. It glorifies the anarchic warrior, whose pure ideals threaten the existing order in the West, an order that lacks spirit and meaning, an order that consists of credit cards and individual rights. That world is trapped in a spiritual vacuum and suffers from perpetual attention deficit disorder. It is a world that lives online, a world of computer games in which the heroes are gangsters. It is a world of hard-core porn for all and of TV series like "Game of Thrones," which sometimes almost appears to be the cinematic inspiration for IS videos. In such a world, a perverted, sadistic movement like IS is the real thing. It offers young Muslims, including some Westerners, a nihilistic, anarchistic adventure with pretentions of holiness in anamusement park of decapitations and rape. After all, young males have always been driven by testosterone and adrenaline."

Australia may buy Japanese submarines- Nikkei Asian Review

    ' The Soryu class submarine uses highly-confidential technologies, including an air-independent propulsion system that allows it to remain submerged for long periods.

     "Even if Australia wants to purchase it," a senior Japanese defense ministry official said, "we will not be able to decide quickly whether we can export it." '

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
