Maybe he is just trying to get warm.

Hm. I wonder if that was real. Seems kind of advanced for the time, at leas the level of automation does.


Especially the increased detail after the unblur on the old guy seemed far fetched. Maybe this was just the propaganda film made by the designers to show to high brass.

>> ^mxxcon:

did he throw something into the bus and it exploded or did he try to break a window and something detonated inside?
announcer toward the end says "exercise to free hostages ended successfully. hostages have been freed and assailants have been apprehended."
even bigger WTF, if they had hostages in that bus did special-ops blow it up?!


They did manage to get people out of the bus and they were still alive. I think it's just an extreme flashbang, very dangerous, mostly non lethal.

This clip is a joke/TV comedy/mockumentary thing right? I can't find anything on Mr Blow Up from a real source like an article or his own website, just blogs and repostings of this clip. That is unless this guy sold www.mrblowup.com to an ad spam site.

Either way it's hilarious

Reminds me of a great clip from years ago

@spawnflagger aha, I did not know that. That sucks, maybe you could tweak your own water degassing rig. Bubble it through a tank and store the gas that comes off, might be enough to light your stove

@srd, if expansion continues to speed up there will come a time where we cannot even see neighboring stars. However, we are talking about extreme timespans here, many times the current age of the universe.

Most of those empty spaces between the wings filled with galaxy clusters are places that haven't been mapped by this project yet.

About there being a center of the universe you could say we are at the center of our observable universe, this is because we can only see up to the places where light has been coming from (actually 46 billion ly in all directions).

However imagine a star system 15 billion light years away from us, they can also so a sphere with a radius of 46bly. This means that they can look 15 billion light years into a direction we cannot see. Furthermore this means we have no idea of how big the actual universe it. It could be tens of times bigger than we see, 10^10 times bigger, or infinite. The center of the real universe must be at the big bang so in a sense everywhere is the center because from out the big bang everything was inflated from nothing into everything. This inflation because it was faster than light has led us to be unconnected with the universe beyond 46bly.

Mind boggling cannot describe the awesomeness and ungraspability of the whole universe.

I also live on top of natural gas shale. It's happening in my town too.

Maybe your utilities should take measures? I'm sure it's not too difficult to degas the water before piping it into the municipal water grid.

Awesome stuff, great production values, and the Glitch Mob soundtrack just makes it that much better. You can listen to the album these tracks came from for free on the official Glitch Mob site.

@entr0py, nope it just stays stuck on "Preparing Content".

Funny thing is, that it says "your browser is not supported" when I try to run it via IE.

You're supposed to be able to see the complete lectures in this series provided by microsoft, however the stupid player doesn't seem to work for me.
