Ozone Hole Filled by 2050?

A Japanese science team has predicted that soon the hole in Eath’s ozone layer will start shrinking and possibly be filled in by the year 2050. The scientist attribute the hole shrinking to reduction in chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting gases over the last decade.

“The findings are based on a series of numerical simulations carried out by Eiji Akiyoshi of the National Institute for Environmental Studies, near Tokyo, using projected emissions of chlorofluorocarbons and other gases blamed for the ozone hole.”

The Most Fuel Efficent Thing in the Universe!

A new study has found out what the most fuel efficient thing in the entire universe is! The answer is a black hole!

“We already knew that powerful quasars are very efficient at making light. Now we know that black holes in elliptical galaxies are efficient as well,” said Kim Weaver, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center who was not involved in the study. “This suggests that being green is a trait that all black holes may have in common.”

The study shows that the largest music downloading demographic is also the largest music buying demographic, among other interesting results.

The interpretations are being debated over by recording industry heavyweights. I think the real good news here is that the question is being earnestly considered.
