NATURE!
Articles and essays by Jim Hull about nature and physics and the universe - from eeny-weeny atoms to humongoid galaxies - and some strange creatures who live in the middle. This should be fun!
Jim's new book, ARE HUMANS OBSOLETE? looks
at the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence
-- and how machines may usurp all of us in the workplace. The
book also makes surprising links between Chaos Theory, the
Uncertainty Principle, and creativity. (It's in the service of
keeping us employed!) And
Jim discusses how science and religion might work together to
solve some of the great mysteries of nature. Odd? Well, that's
Jim. Check it out: ARE HUMANS

GIANT BEACHED SARDINES Actually, they only LOOK like sardines from a distance; up close they're pretty big! They're elephant seals, and they're making a comeback in California. And man, are they loud!
SCIENCE VERSUS THE OCCULT Oh, sure, science figured out that you can make electricity go through a wire, but what about really cool stuff like ESP or astral travel or UFOs? How can science top those? ... Well, Jim has a surprise for you.
...AND READERS TALK BACK!
