Now and then I am made to remember the reason for starting this slowly updated blog. Planet Wonder is about the New Wonders of the World. It is about those things that happen all around us that we can so easily miss. Our reason for being is to tap you on the shoulder, to whisper in your ear, to let you know… “here is something you might have missed.” So, here it is: Our Story in 2 Minutes. The images [ Read More ]
Science has been searching for the Higgs boson for over 50 years; finally, it seems, the search is over. While favorite speaker on the topic of physics, Michio Kaku gives a (rather) incomplete explanation of the discovery and what it means. I encourage you to read more about his discovery. But until you do, watch Professor Kaku’s video. If video does not work, try this link.
One of the common threads on Planet Wonder is the amazing connectivity of all life on earth. Watch the following video for some eye-opening information about who’s who on our Planet of Wonder. Direct link to video.
A lot of people on this planet think that we have enough going on here on Terra Firma that space exploration is an unnecessary expense. I don’t agree with that. I can’t. I’ve dreamt of traveling to other planets all of my life. It is a part of who I am. So what? You ask? What’s in it for you? Fair question. Listen to Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s talk about it. Perhaps (if you haven’t done so already), you’ll come over to [ Read More ]
I just found this video, and was immediately moved to share it with you. We have seen so many videos and still shots from the first successful Moon Landing mission, but have you ever wondered what it was like on the ground during the lift-off of the Apollo 11? Here is a video taken at 500 frames per second, and played back at a much slower speed so you can see the flaming fury of the lift-off of that historical [ Read More ]
I found this quite by accident, but was, ‘ow you say, “sore amazed” when I saw and heard. Now I share this with you.
If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it up. If you break it, admit it. If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can. If you borrow it, return it. If you value it, take care of it. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you move it, put it back. If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it. If you don’t know how to operate it, leave [ Read More ]

If you missed this when it first hit the Internet, you are in for a treat. If you saw it, and lost the link, or forgot what it was called, you are in luck. Here it is again. Machine Civiliaztion is a creation of Sudo Genki, a retired “mixed martial arts” champion. This song, along with the unique dancing style of the group, was in response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. “Mind Shift” is another work of the multi-talented Sudo Genki.
www.poetrygrrrl.com Do you spring out of bed in the morning, fresh with energy, ready to face the world, or is it a need to go to the bathroom that finally moves you? Some people are morning types, others are night owls, but no matter to which camp you belong, there is a certain magic available to you in the first hour of the day. You just need to know it’s there, and be ready to pursue it. I think that [ Read More ]
