Stanford artificial intelligence researchers have developed software that makes it easy to reach inside an existing video and place a photo on the wall so realistically that it looks like it was there from the beginning. The photo is not pasted on top of the existing video, but embedded in it It works for videos as well - you can play a video on a wall inside your video. The technology can cheaply do some of the tricks normally performed by expensive commercial editing systems.

Jeffrey Soreff November 8 2008 The explanation of the mechanism of smell seems somewhat implausible, but, yes, there are a variety of ways one could make a nanoscale IR spectrometer. Another option would be to look for resonant energy transfer, not between a tunnelling electron, but between a vibrational excitation in another molecule and the test molecule. One skeptical note: I've handled heavy water, and never noticed an odor. If this theory is right, it should smell very different from the odorless background of normal water. One application note: If the theory is right, there should be a huge range of deuterated compounds with distinct smells... and there would be a wide choice of very safe ones. Tom Kraemer November 7 2008 What a wonderful explanation of scent and our sense of smell. Thank you for a profound insight. You've changed my understanding of my formerly least appreciated sense! Rylan Grayston November 7 2008 I think some homeopathic practitioners are running into a very similar situation as you. In that they get results that they cannot fully explain the workings of. In the past I often found myself scoffing at the explanations I have heard. The use of words like energy flow to describe how a massage works has been hard for me to respond too. I have discovered that when some one makes no scene at all they are often using a hole different set of definitions than I know of. For example my dictionary has 6 distinct definitions for plasma. How may dose yours have and which are you using? Your story is a great example of how -some one with an explanation that seems obvious and correct with no results is of no more value than -someone with concrete results that support a seemingly ridiculous explanation. Its very entertaining to hear the later come together. Thanks for explaining how the hard evidence implies that the human body can detect molecular vibration and interpret it as smell. ps I laughed at the biologist vs physicist joke e mediately, common tedsters lighten up that was elegantly place hummor! cheers!

http://www.centerforinquiry.net The methods and values of scientific thinking have expanded our knowledge of life and our place in the universe. This modern knowledge—based on experience and evidence—has brought enormous benefit to humanity, yet many people still choose to rely on ancient texts and beliefs to guide their lives and their nations. The Center for Inquiry exists to change this situation. We are here to promote the scientific outlook—to expand the methods and values of science into all areas of human endeavor. We invite you to learn more about the ways we are using research, outreach, and activism to advance reason and human values around the world. Then, if these values are as important to you as they are to us, we ask you to join CFI. Let your voice be heard. With your help, we can ensure that our time—your time—will be a time of science and reason. In a cultural climate that has become so hostile to science and secularism, the work of CFI is more important than ever. If you cherish rational thinking, science, and secular values, please join CFI today.
