Any summary available for this 30 minute presentation?

The men pictured on the deck had already been killed most on Dec.7,'41 but the picture was taken 2 yrs later - by a camerman who was supposedly dead already.They name researchers at the national archives who review ships and personnel logs.It got quite involved as there was no rational explanation or official classification for any of this - like souls traveling into different times and dimensions

Ah, well then, that should certainly be categorized under Weird History, indeed.

The earth's climate is getting in the way of our cars and energy plants and whatnot.

Back off, earth!

In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry. It is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity,^[1] and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics. The equation is validated by its rigorous accounting of the observed fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum and has become vital in the building of the Standard Model.^[2]

The equation also implied the existence of a new form of matter, antimatter, previously unsuspected and unobserved and which was experimentally confirmed several years later. It also provided a theoretical justification for the introduction of several component wave functions in Pauli's phenomenological theory of spin. The wave functions in the Dirac theory are vectors of four complex numbers (known as bispinors), two of which resemble the Pauli wavefunction in the non-relativistic limit, in contrast to the Schrödinger equation, which described wave functions of only one complex value. Moreover, in the limit of zero mass, the Dirac equation reduces to the Weyl equation.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

2008 Summer Olympics Begin in Beijing, China (2008)
At 8:08 PM on 8-8-08, the opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics began. Held in the new Beijing National Stadium—nicknamed "the Bird's Nest"—it marked China's first time hosting the Olympics. The nearly four-hour event, which showcased Chinese culture, was a popular and logistical success, and the games became one of the most-watched TV events in history.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - A Vermont prison made history on this day in 1975.

It was August 7, 1975, when the old Windsor state prison closed its doors for good.

Built in 1809, it was the first penitentiary-style prison in the United States. Its construction reflected a change in the way the nation approached criminal justice.

Up to that point, public humiliation and execution were in favor. However, the Windsor prison heralded in an era of punishment through long-term incarceration.

Over the years, Windsor housed hundreds of Vermont’s worst offenders. Twenty-two inmates were executed on the prison grounds.

By the late 1960s, the old building was crumbling and escapes were rampant.

After its closure, the prison was converted to housing.

This is what a true sports hero looks like! On August 8, 1982, a 4-year-old boy at Fenway Park was hit in the head by a foul ball. Jim Rice saw the accident and quickly realized that it would take too long for EMTs to get through the crowd. Without hesitation, he ran from the dugout, picked up the boy, and carefully laid him on the dugout floor, where the medical team could help.

When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said Jim's quick actions had saved his life. Jim returned to the game in a bloodstained uniform, showing real bravery. Later, Jim visited the boy in the hospital and found out the family didn’t have much money. He went to the business office and made sure the medical bills were sent to him.
