Earth and Dark Matter:

Earth is constantly crashing through huge walls of dark matter, and we already have the tools to detect them. That’s the conclusion of physicists who say the universe may be filled with a patchwork quilt of force fields created shortly after the big bang.

Either way. Meteors seem to be crashing into us. Fun times right?

Great film, with some sick moves from Kelly Schouten, Nanette van der Snoek and Annelous Lammerts.

Having shown the Olympics bullet time in the previous post, it is amazing how they are now able to do in real-time. I guess that is a sign of technology evolution over 14 years.

The rear brake on the Tomac has been playing up recently – zero pressure in the lever and it travel all the way back to the handle bar without a hint of actually providing any stopping power.

With the Quest Adventure monthly ride rapidly approaching, I dropped the bike off three days early in the hope they might be able to have a quick look at the brake, perhaps bleed it and get it ready.

I received a call though. The call of dread and bad news – the brake was knackered and going to have to be replaced under warranty. Which would take 10-14 days. Without even stopping for a breath, I was told not to worry and that rather than offer me a demo bike, they have put a temporary SLX brake on the Tomac off one of the demo bikes so I could still take my own bike out on the ride.

I’m super impressed with the service and continue to highly recommend Quest for all round excellent cycling related-ness.

A conversation reminded me of how blown away I was when I saw the bullet time use in the Olympic Gymnastics. Managed to find this nice example on YouTube.
