Why Is This 112-Year-Old Church Floating in the Air?:

Art installation? Trick photography? Nope, just a little restoration project going on at Utah’s Provo Temple, which was badly damaged in a fire in 2010. Thankfully, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is salvaging the 112-year-old building with a little architectural levitation.

The World's Fastest Wi-Fi Puts Your Sluggish Router to Shame:

For the most part, we’re all happy if we can get Internet that’s fast enough to stream some HD video. But faster is always better, and a new, world-record setting network developed in Germany is so blazing fast you wouldn’t know what to do with it. It can deliver multiple HD films in a second.

This Table Designs Itself With a Corrosive Chemical Dance Party:

There are all kinds of ways to design a table, but most of them don’t include resonant frequencies or specially-designed abrasive enzymes, much less both. Bonus Table 571 isn’t most tables though, and that’s exactly how it gets its very specific pattern.

Either the Philippines is unified rooting for a Filipino taking part in an international contest or one held in another country or it’s unified against a fellow(wo)man running for a national post.

The call of the white beaked dolphin represented by wavelet transform.

The humpback whale's call, represented by wavelet transform.

The Northern cardinal's call represented by wavelet transform.

A Northern minke whale's call represented by wavelet transform.

The chirping of crickets represented by wavelet transform.

fuckyeahfluiddynamics:

The acoustic signatures of many animals contain features we humans cannot appreciate, given the limited range of frequencies we can hear. In fluid dynamics and many other fields, scientists and engineers have to find ways to analyze and decompose time-series data—like acoustic pressure signals—into useful quantities. Mark Fischer uses one tool for such analysis, a wavelet transform, to turn the calls of whales, birds, and insects into the colorful snapshots seen here. Wavelet transforms are somewhat similar to Fourier transforms but represent a signal with a series of wavelets rather than sinusoids. They’re also widely used for data compression. (Image credits: M.

Stockholm’s Subway

The most beautifully designed subway tunnels in the world are found in Stockholm, Sweden. The grand architecture reminds its travelers that they are deep underground. Featuring painted cave walls and ceilings, the design is more like an art gallery than a subway. Via odditiesoflife.

Hay nako, nagtaka pa kayo. Eh sa kultura ng Pilipinas its all about popularity and not credentials. Hello tinatangkilik nyo nga sila Anne Curtis, Daniel Padilla, mga taong sumali sa mga ‘reality TV contests’, mga ibang beauty queens at kung sinu-sino pa na sumabak na sa mga larangan na wala namang silang naayong talent. Its so harsh to label the people who voted for the candidates who you don’t like as ‘bobo’. What have you done to enlighten them?

The Super-Humans Who Read Addresses Computers Can't Figure Out:

Email has eaten most of snail mail’s lunch, but computers are cutting into what’s left by parsing the addresses of your packages and letters. When they can’t figure out your scrawl though, it’s squinting and guessing to the rescue, and the New York Times tracked down the few people left with that job.
