But then so did his father who proceeded to shoot and kill his mother in front of him for it?

Happy Birthday, Rudolph Valentino (May 6th, 1895 - August 23rd, 1926)

“Dirac was a hero to Feynman, which is fascinating because no two physicists could ever be more different. Everyone has this stereotype of scientists and the stereotype is wrong Scientists come in all types and here were the two extremes, Feynman and Dirac.” - Lawrence Krauss speaking about his book Quantum Man: Richard Feynman’s Life in Science.

digitalexorcism:

Doctor X - (1932)

Every time the warm pops in the audio track for Doctor X kick in, I instantly feel a bit nostalgic. Doctor X is a great example of the old pre-code days of Hollywood, considering that it surprisingly covers several morbid horror topics, among them cannibalism and rape. For those that are fans of the 1933 Mystery of the Wax Musuem, also starring Fay Wray and Lionel Atwill, you’ll almost feel like you’re watching it’s prequel as this was also done by the same team. The lighting is full of beautiful contrast and marries nicely with the warm vibrancy of it’s ‘two-color Technicolor’ print. For a much needed change from digital cinema, I’d like to see a modern film get this processing treatment. If you can get your hand on it, don’t be foolish and pass it up.

You can get it here, in fact.

From ieffinglovescience

Essentially, this is what your brain thinks you look like.

A cortical homunculus is a visualization of the primary motor cortex and primary somatosensory cortex. The size of a body region on the model is based on the amount of cortex dedicated to that site, sometimes giving absurd-looking results.

This particular example represents the motor cortex. Given the dexterity of our hands and our mouths (for eating and speaking), it is no surprise that so much brain power is given to those areas.
