say, it was last year since i last updated this blog. the interval had been a period of transition for me, trying to figure out a couple of things that had my mind clouded. the result is this me and I'm improving everyday. From tomorrow onward, you can expect to read the latest news on the technological, scientific and computer worlds on this blog. and anticipate #animegoof.com

Mandela remains taken to air base   14 December 2013 The remains of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela have been transferred to Waterkloof air base for a farewell from the African National Congress (ANC). The military handed over Mr Mandela's flag-draped coffin to the ANC at a solemn ceremony broadcast live on South African television. The remains will be returned to military control later this morning. Mr Mandela's coffin will then be flown to the Eastern Cape in preparation for his funeral tomorrow. It is expected to arrive this afternoon and to be greeted by a full military ceremony. The late president died last week at age 95.

U.S. scientists have discovered a second DNA code and the finding has the scientific community buzzing. As laid out by a report from AFP via Yahoo! News on Thursday, the second DNA code suggests that the body speaks two different languages ​​and the discovery could have important implications regarding the diagnosis of certain diseases. This second DNA code was recently published in the U.S. journal Science and a research team headed by Dr. John Stamatoyannopoulos, a University of Washington associate professor of genome sciences and of medicine, is responsible for the ground-breaking discovery. Regarding the second DNA code, Stamatoyannopoulos gave the following statement: “For over 40 years we have assumed that DNA changes affecting the genetic code solely impact how proteins are made. Now we know that this basic assumption about reading the human genome missed half of the picture. These new findings highlight that DNA is an incredibly powerful information storage...

It could happen tomorrow, it could happen in a billion years, but whenever it is, calculations by physicists at the University of Southern Denmark indicate that the risk of the Universe collapsing is even greater than previously thought. The doomsday scenario that's been refined by the Danish researchers is known as "The Big Slurp." The Big Slurp would occur when there is a radical shift in the forces that govern the Universe. This violent process is called a phase transition and is very similar to what happens when, for example, water turns to steam. Pivotal to the Big Slurp scenario is the Higgs Boson, the particle which is believed to play a role in giving mass to elementary particles. Proponents of the Big Slurp theory say that a phase transition in the Universe could happen if a quantum fluctuation bubble from an alternate Universe appeared in ours. Specifically, the Big Slurp would be triggered by the Higgs-field associated with the Higgs-particle in the bubble diff...
