JEDIDIAH JENKINS QUIT HIS JOB AND DECIDED TO BIKE FROM OREGON TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF SOUTH AMERICA. HIS BEST FRIEND, FILMMAKER KENNY LAUBBACHER, CAME ALONG FOR THE RIDE. This short film follows Jenkins as he shares what he's learned from his journey so far. “When you’re a kid, everything is astonishing. Everything is new, and so your brain is awake and turned on ... Once your brain establishes a routine, it stops ... the alertness goes away,” he says. By choosing adventure Jenkins is able to reactivate his brain and turn his “hundred years on this planet into a thousand.

EXCITING TRAIN JOURNEYS : WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL RAILWAY - THE BERNINA EXPRESS


WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL RAILWAY - 

THE BERNINA EXPRESS

Shortly after the construction of the Gotthard tunnel, Switzerland pulled off another pioneering achievement: the construction of the Thusis - St. Moritz railway line between 1899 and 1903. This opened the Upper Engadine to tourists. The Rhaetian Railway still passes over the same bridges and through the same loop tunnels. A still greater challenge was the subsequent construction of the Bernina Railway. No other railway in the world overcomes such steep gradients and winds through such steep curves without the help of a cogwheel.

The oscillation of neutrinos from one variety to another has long been suspected, but was confirmed only about 15 years ago.  In order for these oscillations to occur, neutrinos must have a mass, no matter how slight.  Since neutrinos have long been thought to be massless, in a very real way, this phenomena is a clear signal of physics beyond the known.  In this video, Fermilab's DR DON LINCOLN explains how we know it occurs and hints at the rich experimental program at several international laboratories designed to understand this complex mystery.
