Felix Baumgartner, Australian daredevil, successfully jumped from 128,100 feet (24 miles) above the Earth plunging 833.9 MPH (Mach 1.24) to break the sound barrier.

Although Einstein’s theories suggest that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, two scientists have extended his equations to show what would happen if faster-than-light travel were possible. In effect, they propose that the universe is divided into two worlds – one where everything moves slower than the speed of light and the…
Advanced Industrial Science Technology (AIST) has created HRP-4C Miim, a female robot that walks like a human being (similar to ASIMO but prettier). Her knees are stretched by up/down motion of the waist, the single-toe supporting realizes longer strides, and she mimics the swing motion of human legs.
