Ball Lightning

Apparently, some UFO sightings can be explained by a phenomena called Ball Lighting, which is a very rare form of lightning.

Dunno how many of the examples in the video are actually ball lightning sightings, but basically, it’s a lightning (the ones you see in storms) that get’s trapped in balls that can range in size, and can have some weird behaviour.
Dr. Paul Koloc is getting funded by government agencies to try to reproduce the phenomena in laboratory… but didn’t got much so far.
Which is understandable since the natural phenomena is already rare, and hard to reproduce even if it was common…

Siftables are blocks with tiny screens and lots of electronic resources that introduces new ways of dealing with data.
It’s kinda hard to explain the wide range of things it is and do, so I’ll leave the task with the videos.
Here’s the TED Talks presentation for Siftables:

A different take on cellphone/portable interface with loads of physics to play with:

Great and all, but seeing as it probably requires more processing power to make the physics simulation (which will require more battery), dunno if it’s very practical…
