Up here?

Science marches ever closer to Star Trek as "quantum teleportation" becomes a reality.

Just another of the priceless panels from The Irredeemable Ant-Man.
Now don't you wish you'd been buying it?

Don't you?!

I also made some icons for absolutely no reason.

You don't need to see my credentials.

Man, forget DC bringing back (and subsequently screwing up) the multiverse, this guy is trying to prove that it really exists!

From a CNN.com story on Geniuses Who Will Change Your Life :
Nima Arkani-Hamed thinks big. He has a theory that our universe is one of an infinite number of universes -- meaning the largest thing we can wrap our minds around is actually pretty tiny
He didn't pull the "multiverse" out of thin air, though. After becoming a Harvard professor at age 30, Arkani-Hamed first made a name for himself by suggesting that our universe is five-dimensional. Then he moved on to the multiverse, theorizing that our own universe has a hidden feature called "split supersymmetry," which means that half of all particles have partner particles.


The theory will be tested soon in Switzerland's brand-new Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and if the LHC finds Arkani-Hamed's partner particles, it could prove that the multiverse is real -- and that our place in it is that much smaller.

Are you fucking kidding me?!
This has got to be one of the most exciting scientific news things I've ever heard.
Of course, that means it also has the potential to be the most terrifying.

For no reason other than the tenuous DC/multiverse connection, here is a picture of a young Superman (we can't call him that other name any more) I did a while back and never got around to putting up here.
It's different. Feel free to let me know what you think.
