So the Arthurian stories are incredibly complex and difficult to follow. There's so much going on and happening I don't have the faintest idea of it's chronology, the order of events or even in what year it was supposed to have taken place. Is there even any actual historical evidence to him, or some physical evidence? All I know is that he was supposed to come from Britannia or tradition Wales; before it was named Wales.

Newer, stronger, and faster computers are always being built. Will there ever be a day when computers reach their peak and cannot become any more powerful? I doubt that they will always be able to get more and more faster/stronger forever, but I often wonder will there always be a limit with current technology..? Now its is managed creating multi core CPU's... But that also will reach to a limit shortly.. then we will see some different technology which very much different from current semiconductor based technologies. Thoughts?

Many of us refer to the OVA for saying the Guyver feeds off the host for energy, but the VDF that Takaya wrote explains so much of the energy systems as being based on the gravity controller. Is it possible to get an accurate translation of that part of the anime, because it always gets us into a tizzy. Guyot's comment about the host's energy being a limiting factor always throws us off. What is he exactly saying word for word in Japanese?

Interesting. But not sure why we really need to be doing this. Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/first-gene-edited-dogs-2015-10

I have to admit that until the holidays that I haven't been on this forum for a while, but it seems that there's been a bit of an influx of female members here. I wonder what it is that draws the female fans to Guyver. After all, Guyver is a science fiction/action-adventure manga and anime series. So there's plenty for male fans to go around as far as a PG-13 rated story (let alone the violent as all hell for its time OVA series), but what is drawing the girls in? Just curious about this.

Wow, this guy is just brilliant:

What can I say, the man makes great videos. How many times has scifi shown us the interior of a nuclear reactor? Since we deal with a lot of scifi on this board, this should be interesting to many: I'm amazed at how messy it is. It reminds me of a couple of other places I've worked.

Wow.....I blame it on global warming. Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/us-cities-sea-level-threats_561d338fe4b0c5a1ce60a45c

How do you, and if applicable, your partner feel about PDA? (public displays of affection) Although I don't mind it. If someone doesn't want to see it. I always supposed just not to look. My wife is against it though because she feels people will view her badly for it. So we don't do it in public.

Fascinating and creepy at the same time. Thoughts? Do you think they can clone a mammoth?

Yes my friends, time for another science post that actually about science. This, being about misconceptions of physics:

This is hilarious. ROFL!!!! Source: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/officials-ronald-mcdonald-statue-burned-decapitated-34648106

Not sure if any of you are aware of the Suidobashi Heavy Industry corporation. But these guys are awesome! Japan makes the first steps towards a high powered militarized mech. This is some really amazing stuff that they work. These guys are literally trying to build the first Gundam aka Mecha Warrior. The video is about Suidobashi's heavy industry mech, Kuratas and how it operates. Check out this video. http://youtu.be/2iZ0WuNvHr8 http://youtu.be/4ZIWXNS7Ggc Also here is the official page. This is so amazing. I want one! These things are literally built like tanks! http://suidobashijuko.jp

Yep.....

This is a topic about light and darkness and things related to them, such as fear of the dark, trying to light the darkness, and why people like the night time or day time, and anything that one can think of, as well as ways for "seeing" though the darkness of night or overcast and illusions, such as mirages and such. First, I'll start with a question? What is darker outside: a new moon night or an overcast night? That does go towards how light can trick us and how we in reality might not be able to see the same thing. In other words, it depends. I'd have to say a new moon night with dim stars. With overcast, the cloud cover can catch and reflect light, and the …

Wow. That's not very professional.... Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/10/15/shame-on-american-airline-booed-after-woman-is-thrown-off-a-flight/

Evolution is a pretty interesting subject. Thoughts?

I'm sorry for being such a Thunderfoot fan, but he's just so damn interesting! As an audience, he knows how to captivate me. He gives me my intellectual fix. I'm like an addict that needs a drug. And as a geek, I feel the need to share:

A lot of people say that animal testing is cruel and should be banned, but how else would we test products for safety? I feel like more humans would die if certain products were not tested on animals first. Are animal lives worth as much as human lives? What are your thoughts on this debatable subject? I'll tell you what I think, I give more value to human lives. I support testing on animals.We shouldn't torture animals in the process. We should make animal testing as less painful as possible. But we should strive for better medicine and medical treatment.

I decided to make a general thread about various technology stuff about mechanical and electrical devices. Anything can be discussed here, though my areas are expertise are limited with some technology (though looking up the stuff could give me something to do when I'm bored). Mostly, this is a discussion about how various technologies work and our thoughts and opinions on them. Since one of my areas of expertise is automotive stuff, there's a new type of high-beam headlight that Audi and BMW are developing call the Laserlight. Audi currently are using them on their new R18 e-tron quattro racing car, and their Audi Sport Quattro concept car, and BMW feature them on…

illinois Passes New 'Revenge Porn' Law That Includes Harsh Penalties Posted: 12/30/2014 8:11 pm EST Updated: 4 hours ago Illinois became the latest state to criminalize "revenge porn," crafting what its creators hope will become a model for federal legislation. Gov. Pat Quinn on Monday signed a measure making the "non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images" a felony offense in Illinois. The new "revenge porn" law -- so called because the intimate photos and videos are commonly distributed by a former (and often embittered) romantic partner -- goes into effect June 1, 2015, and will punish offenders with one to three years in prison and up to a $25,000 …
