Mårten Lange
In this series Another Language, photographer Mårten Lange focuses on the aesthetics of science and the world around us. As Lange states, “Another Language is a project about science, nature, the joy of exploration and the photographic impulse to catalogue the world.” What is interesting about this series is how, though Lange photographs a wide variety of subject matter, his works all seem to have the same texture and feeling to them. To see more of Lange’s work click here. To see his recently published book Another Language, click here.

Neil deGrasse Tyson lays down some cold hard truth.
Every second our Sun releases energy equivalent to about 1 Billion (1,000,000,000) nuclear bombs, and we are digging in the sand.
Some people use Physics for good… Some use it to design a roller coaster that will kill you by the end of the ride. Behold, the Euthanasia Coaster!
“Euthanasia Coaster” is a hypothetic euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being. Riding the coaster’s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death. Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasant, elegant and ritualistic. Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this ‘kinetic sculpture’ is in fact the ultimate roller coaster: John Allen, former president of the famed Philadelphia Toboggan Company, once sad that “the ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead. This could be done, you know.”
