It's a magnificient piece of sculpture (weights approx 110 ton). You should definitely check it out (Millennium Park) when in Chicago. It magically blends the surroundings into the displaying piece itself. It "changes" with the sky.
It is nick named "The Bean" by the locals.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC.
Moreover, the ease with which the internet spreads wrong-headedness–to say nothing of lies and slander–is offset by the ease with which it spreads insights and ideas. To regret the glorious fecundity of new media is to choose the hushed reverence of the cathedral over the din of the bazaar.
Project Syndicate's global reach has attracted a distinguished international group of contributors, including presidents, Nobel laureates, and others from a variety of backgrounds and representing a wide spectrum of democratic opinion. Their commentaries have been read and discussed in many countries and provoked discussions spanning the range of modern media. By bringing those ideas and issues discussions to the printed mass media, Project Syndicate establishes an institutional framework within which the editors of major newspapers, together with their readers, may cooperate in dispersing today's "cloud of unknowing.
This artist's animation depicts a journey into the center of an elliptical galaxy. After traveling past stars in the outer part of the galaxy, the supermassive black hole located at the bright center of the galaxy becomes visible. This black hole is surrounded by hot gas shown in red and yellow, which acts as fuel for the black hole engine. Power generated by the engine flows away from the black hole via jets of high-energy particles.
Shipwreck in the Njardvik shipyard. I can't help it, but I think there is a sense of nostalgia and beauty to this trash. Imagine where this boat has been. The fierceful weathers it has escaped. The delicious fish it brought home.

The ripples in space-time created when two black holes merge have been modelled to unprecedented accuracy, according to Einstein's equations, by a powerful new computer simulation. The "waveform" signatures produced in the simulation should help researchers identify the ripples in the data from gravitational wave detectors.
