You might be interested to know that there's two different kind of posts on this blog: "Thought of the Day" and "Normal". The "Thought of the Day" category is a once-a-day random tidbit, usually a funny video or picture, and the "Normal" is just what you'd expect from a blog like this:
Unicorn-Butterfly Soup.

Here’s the first videos I’ve seen related to the upcoming (hopefully soon) Harry Potter movie…
I really only have to things to say, in addition to sharing this link:
This movie has the potential to be really great, or really terrible, moreso than any of the other ones. This is the darkest story yet, but has alot of side-action going on (I won’t ruin it if you haven’t read the books). Let’s just say that if it’s done right, people who love the books and hated the movies so far will probably change their mind.
“Hermione” had better keep being herself, completely opposite of those edited movie posters… if you know what I mean. *wink*wink*

This is definitely filed under “Coolest News This Week”: it is apparently now theoretically possible to create ‘wormholes’ (ala Star Trek or Stargate) on Earth, and use them as point-to-point relays.
Oh Yeah!
Not Exactly…
If you read into the article, you may get highly disappointed. Let me save you from the trouble: we’re not talking about the ability for people to “teleport” or anything. It was made clear that the most practical application would be in the medical world, moving or inserting very small objects into certain places, or for computers’ calculation processes.
Yeah, But
Who cares, right? The fact that you could do something like this would, itself, be awesome, regardless of whether people could go through it or not. Let’s pretend that, as the article mentions, computer components could be “sent” through such a wormhole…
Instant Delivery
If every household had a small portal, or wormhole device, it would have endless uses. The most obvious? The destruction of traditional mail services! No longer would you have to wait 5-7 days for a letter to come from your grandma! No longer would you have to wait for “somewhere around the 15th of the month” for that electricity bill to show up! It would be instantaneous. Maybe even package delivery too, so you could get your shipment of steroids from Mexico faster…
Other Applications
Here’s some other applications I see coming from this:
Really creepy things like spy on people, easier than it is now
“Losing” something now becomes a reality if you don’t exactly know where your wormhole goes
What if you set up two wormholes in series? Throw a ball through it… would it fall? Or go infinitely throughout the loop?
Not The Space-Time Kind, But The EMF Kind
A Long Ways Away
Anything like this is a long ways away, much like quantum computing or that invisibility cloak, but it’s cool to think about anyways. But it’d be even better if it had uses like human transportation, or interstellar space travel…
