Sometimes the scariest stories about real science. My favorite aspects of science are the holes in mainstream scientific theory. The idea that maybe science has it wrong. Once upon a time, it was "fact" that the Earth was the center of the solar system. Sad part is, it never was. Nor was the Earth flat. Makes me wonder what else we have wrong and are to arrogant to consider the possibility.

Life in Harsh Places

Explorers
Jacques-Yves Cousteau is know for his sea-related research. This is the wikipedia site.

Science made easy
Quantum Physics for Dummies: This is suppose to be in simply terms. Well, maybe if one is a physics major.

General Science
First Law of Thermodynamics

Technology and Energy

Alta Vista: This is the search engine I use for searches involving technology.
Solar Cell: A long Wikipedia page on solar energy.
Photosynthesis: This is the plant process of turning sunlight into energy that is the basis for powering the machine I mentioned. (Real technical sounding)
Nanotechnology: This is the concept of technology and computers that so small they are at the atomic level.
Radio ID Chips: This is a use of a very small radio transmitter.
Algae Oil: This is basic info on algae oil and how it produces its energy. Please note that oil necessary for fuel production is not standard pond scum.
Geothermal Energy
Wind Energy

Bizarre Theories (Bird, help!)
Holographic Principle: This has something to do with the String Theory and Black Holes. I haven't found a science nerd to English dictionary yet.
Holographic Paradigm: This relates to the Holographic Principle somehow. However, I don't get it either.
Roger Penrose: He proposed a theory that consciousness is somehow a new form of physics. I'm not real sure on this either. It gave me ideas, the general concept of it, to write a story that is way over my head. (Something else Roger Penrose is known for. When toilet paper becomes plagiarism.)

Unusual Possibilities About Intelligence and Mental Quirks
Albert Einstein: This wikipedia piece talks about the possibility that Albert Einstein was missing pieces of his brain and it contributed to his genius.

Scientific Myths
10% Brain Usage: This goes into why the theory that we use 10% of our brains is incorrect.
