The coolest new science inventions

The coolest science inventions blog kind of came to me this week after seeing some new military inventions, and I thought it would be a cool thing to write the blog about. My favorite military invention is what ST-6 used when they took down Osama. For several months now, rumours have been circulating around the military community about Night Vision contacts. Night Vision contacts are now very real, and are the future of night time war fighters. Less bulky than NVGs and with a much higher visual rate, even able to see if perfect darkness, they are very important for the future. one drawback is that they are around 10k per pair, which will keep them, for now at least, out of everyone's hands except the special operations personnel, but one day they will be in every soldier's aresenal, and make a huge differece. The next invention, the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper. The Reaper is the newest, state of the art predator drone. It has a 915 Horsepower engine, is bigger than all previous drones, and is considered around the world to be the most elite drone currently in use, (that is, out of the drones that are allowed to be known to the public. In conclusion, these are some of the greatest new weapons in the world.

Best Ice Cream

Since we did a nice little experiment in class this week, I decided to go and figure out what makes the perfect ice cream. Unfortunately, its impossible to figure out a scientific way to determine what makes a perfect ice cream, as I found out, but I did figure out which ones were the most popular. In order, they are vanilla, chocolate, butter pecan, strawberry, chocolate chips, and french vanilla. My personal favorite is cookie dough. ICe cream has a very interesting history, and even though this blog is a bit short, next weeks will make up for it about the history of ice cream.

The New Study about Pot

Personally, I don't use any illegal drugs. Never have, and never will, but pot smokers around the world can now rejoice. A new study said that moderate smokers of weed did not suffer any lung damage or lasting effects of air loss to their bodies. However, something smokers do not have to rejoice about is the amount of damage that marijuana does to the brain. The first thing to be hit when one smokes a large amount of pot is the short term memory. The levels of THC that the brain absorbs messes with the hippocampus, which really screws up the memory. Also, pot messes with people's emotional responses to situations. Part of the emotional impairment results in the high that users describe. Basically, the lesson here is never smoke weed.
