This week begins what will hopefully be a weekly roundup of links to articles and studies showing off some of the amazing discoveries that pop up. I find it disturbing that while most of the mainstream media is busy fear mongering, scientists are making breakthroughs at an exponential pace. Nearly every week I see multiple studies that astound me with the implied possibilities. Things that were truly science fiction 20, 10, or even 5 years ago, are now fact. Even better, things that no one had any idea were even possible (such as heat behaving like light) are now on the horizon.

I hope that by helping highlight some of these discoveries, other people will also see something other than death and apocalypse in our future.
