Is it true humans are made out of DNA?
Because these sculptures made of silicone, fiberglass, and polyester resin look awfully human-like.
You can catch Ron Mueck in a group show “Lifelike” at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego from now until May 27th, 2013. After that, you’ll have to go to Paris.

So when you first scroll through these photos, they obviously appear Photoshopped, right?
These photos were taken by an anonymous Japanese photographer working in the early 1900’s. To jazz up the photos and represent a trend of pastel bathing suits, the photographer hand painted over the clothing.

Photo idea: Shoot your nighttime long exposures in black and white.
Here are a couple gorgeous ones of Seoul and Hong Kong by Martin Stavars.
Granular flows, which are made up of loose particles like sand, often display remarkably fluid-like behavior. Here researchers explore the behavior of granular flows when a solid impacts them at high speed. The sand, unlike a fluid, does not have surface tension, yet we still observe many of the same behaviors. Like a fluid, the sand splashes and creates cavities and jets as it deforms around the fallen object. The sand even “erupts” as submerged pockets of air make their way back to the surface.
Self-Portrait Idea: Get on the ground!

Building a vortex cannon is a great way to demonstrate the power and longevity of vortex rings. As demonstrated here, it’s possible to create one with just a box with a round hole in it. Adding some smoke or stage fog helps visualize the rings. Vortex rings are found frequently in nature: volcanoes make them, some plants use them to distribute spores, and dolphins and whales use them to play. (submitted by @aggieastronaut)
