archelsThat's now how the Star Trek teleporters are (supposed to) work.11:17
archelscf. e.g. Realm of Fear (TNG)11:19
mjrthe reference is lost on me, however, it seems otherwise clear to me that that's how they work, from series context to some trekkie material I read when I was little. Riker-clones, anyone?11:21
archelsThe *matter* is indeed supposedly disintegrated, but I feel that they almost invariably implied a mind/body duality.11:24
mjrhaving teleporter clones seems to contradict that, but I shan't claim that ST wouldn't dare contradict itself ;)11:25
mjr(apropos; also I recall they had an ep in tng where some terrorists used some dimension tunneling tech that was detrimental to health but would bypass [some] shields and specifically didn't involve disintegration)11:27

dbolserkanzure: you know a rat lives to about 7, but a pidgeon lives to about 35.13:06
dbolserwhere can I read about the underlying biology of thagt13:06
kanzureif you want just general aging-related research and literature, as well as various theories, aubrey is good for it13:08
kanzureoh fooey.. where did his academic website go13:08
kanzurewow "recorded public appearances" is lengthy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Grey13:09
dbolserkanzure: no, not age bio per-se, but the scaling relationsip in mammals and birds and its different magnitude13:11
kanzureaubrey used to have a personal site (on some .uk edu) with links to lots of pdfs and research13:12
kanzuredbolser: nothing comes to mind in particular for that13:12
dbolserits kind of weird13:12
dbolseryou'd think flying would be an extra metabolic burden13:12
dbolserI'll look13:13
dbolserdid you hear this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/mobile/documentaries/2010/10/101027_eatf_kenyon.shtml13:14
dbolserquite basic, but impressive results13:14
kanzuredbolser: that link doesn't say what the name of the documentary is or what's it about13:14
dbolsersorry, don't know why I got the mobile vsn.13:15
dbolserhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2010/10/101027_eatf_kenyon.shtml13:15
dbolserwhat is the secret of eternal youth? Cynthia Kenyon provies some scientific answers13:16
kanzurespeaking of aubrey, i've been reading this today: Genetic Signatures of Exceptional Longevity in Humans 13:16
kanzurethe actual paper is fairly worthless, but the supplmental tables are juicy13:17
kanzurehttp://www.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2010/06/30/science.1190532.DC1/Sebastiani_SOM.pdf13:17
kanzureespecially page 38 with a list of 150 SNPs found to be relatively indicative of long livelihood (i.e., found in ~70% of 1000 sampled centenarians)13:17
kanzurewell, not all of them were found in that sample set; there's actually groups of SNPs being reported, and the total from each of the groups adds up to 15013:18
kanzurebut anyway, page 38 has the list of SNPs and genes that they correspond to13:18

dbolserthis kind of research is really great13:22
dbolserbtw, mike cariaso from snpedia is in #semantic-mediawiki now13:22
dbolserkanzure: I didn't read teh paper yet, were these 1000 of european ancestry or?13:24
kanzurei don't think they were explicitly european, no13:28

archelsUsing lasers to contain some ultra-chilled atoms, a team of scientists has measured the viscosity or stickiness of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter.14:14
archelsshit, there are six now?14:15
dbolserI can name five...14:15
dbolserbut I suspect the above gas is one of them14:15

superkuhI am working on a 2w TEA CO2 laser right now.19:00
superkuhI just finished the first chang profiled aluminum electrode.19:00
superkuhIt'll only be good for inscribing surfaces, if anything, but the total cost will be <$100.19:01

superkuh'just trying to compare the power levels.19:25
superkuhTEA, as compared to continuous wave, CO2 lasers have tens of nanosecond pulse lengths. That's megawatt peak power. If I were to heat one of my pyroelectric triglycine sulfate crystals under 10^-4 torr vacuum it'd emit a very large pulse of tens of keV electrons.19:28
superkuhWith the laser beam, that is.19:29
