Considering Planck's Constant and the Speed of Light as both being average values related to some fundamental rotating structural unit leads to some interesting conclusions.
Studies have indicated that self-described morning people have shorter circadian rhythms than self-identified night owls. This means that morning people sleep through their peak hour of sleepiness, so they wake up feeling refreshed. Evening types usually wake up right around their peak hour of sleepiness, so they may have high levels of melatonin and feel groggy. No wonder it's tough to rouse them.
Have you heard of this great way to lose weight. Every day, you eat a banana for breakfast and drink a glass of water? Think it works? Think again... The morning banana diet is spreading like a virus throughout the internet and the media but it sounds like nonsense...is it?
Does the apparently constant speed of light change over the vast stretches of the universe? Would our understanding of black holes, ancient supernovae, dark matter, dark energy, the origins of the universe and its ultimate fate be different if the speed of light were not constant?
"Rapid Transit" Space Elevator Still Looks More Like Fiction

The following discussion is a follow up to my original article Space Elevator Likely to Remain Science Fiction. Here, I provide an alternative perspective on the magnitude of the elements involved in the construction of the space elevator itself [the "climber"], some estimates of components must be put together and quantized as far as available information permits.
According to Wayne Smallman on the BBT blog, there's still this idea that video games harm children both socially and intellectually. Things aren't quite what they appear, he says, and his latest blog post explains why...
Human evolution has virtually come to a halt, according to Professor Steve Jones of UCL (University College London). Speaking today at a UCL Lunch Hour Lecture in London, Professor Jones argues that human evolution has reached the end of the line and we have arrived at utopia - or as close to it as we are likely to get.
Over on the Blah Blah Tech blog, Wayne Smallman has an interesting post on the true cost of innovation.
"There seems to be this idea that good ideas are not worth the effort of exploring their potential. There is also this misguided belief by venture capitalists and private funding organizations that their money is worth more than the ideas they are backing. Wrong. And it is a misconception that needs destroying..."

A space elevator is a proposed structure designed to transport material from a celestial body's surface into space. Many variants have been proposed and all involve traveling along a fixed tether instead of using rocket-powered space launch. The concept most often refers to a structure that reaches from the surface of the Earth to geostationary orbit (GSO) and a counter-mass beyond. Japanese researchers recently laid out a proposal as to how this might be achieved. However, SciScoop contributor Eugene Keech believes no one will ever press the right buttons for a space elevator and it will always remain blue sky research
