The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

We call it sticky tape here in Australia. Duct tape is the heavy black tape that's very versatile.

It sounds better with duct tape. In any case, since this seems to be related to the adhesive, it's more than probable that most forms of tape will also generate x-rays.

"There is no article with this DOI."


Odd, it works for me.

Oh, it works now...

Interesting.... that's a surprising large amount of energy.. or rather, a large amount of energy in a few particles.

EDIT: I just noticed it's also in today's paper...

Really though, that's pretty cool.
