One of my favorite things about Jim Crocodile Cook is that we get 0 explanation about why he carries a full grown crocodile on his back. Like, we get a Jim flashback, and I was thinking, “Oh, maybe he found her as a baby and now she’s a companion?” I mean maybe, but we see him as kid AND HE ALREADY HAS THIS FULL GROWN CROCODILE FOLLOWING HIM. Do we ever find out why? No. Does anyone ask?? Yes and all they get is, “Karen’s not a pet, she’s my family.”
People need to be nicer about Sayaka. She’s (approximately) 14 years old, sensitive, lived through the XYZ invasion and is living in the wreck of her home city with no family to be seen. But god forbid she show fear or sadness. She’s clearly traumatised, lay off.
For anyone who grew up watching Star Trek, real life holograms are a dream come true. Who wouldn’t want to spend an afternoon roaming about on the holodeck exploring strange realms, or maybe having adventures with Captain Proton (or even Sherlock Holmes)?
Now, that day is a little bit closer, as scientists from the Utsonomiya University Center for Optical Research and Education have created holograms that can be manipulated via touch.
The three dimensional virtual projections are based on a system called ‘Fairy Lights,’ which uses femtosecond laser technology to fire high frequency laser pulses that last just one millions of one billionth of a second. If you aren’t aware, that’s a very tiny amount of time.
