The Longest Equation Ever Known to Man

Standard Model Lagrangian (density)

The standard what?

The Standard Model is the current Theory which governs all known strong and electroweak interactions. This includes basically everything that has EVER been measured by humans (sans gravity). It really is the best Theory that we have. It has been fantastically successful in predicting and explaining data; there are no obvious or overt violations of this Theory. Nerds can go read (or add more information :/) about it here.

How long did it take to type?

In it's current form, the actual equation have took about four hours (spread over almost a week) to write into a file using LaTeX. And sadly, the typist think there is a sign error somewhere, but he just don't have the energy to hunt it down.

Cloths in a spray can

Fabrican, literally "fabric in an aerosol can", is a product created by Spanish designer Dr.Manel Torres who has spent 10 years working on it. The clothes made with his invention fit you like a second skin, it's very ingenious, but how does it work?

So, for those who wonder how it works, the spray can is filled with a liquid mixture made of cotton fibres, polymers and solvents. You spray it directly on yourself but have to wear goggles to protect your eyes.
It dries as soon as it hits the skin, so once you are done, you can take your creation off, wash it and wear it again. You can even dissolve your creation and use the material again to make something new.

And it's not it, it could apparently be used for other purposes: wound healing products, dressings and patches. Instant non-woven fabric for interiors, stain-resistant upholstery. Household/hospital wipes, nappies and towels etc.

Amazing Beer Bottles Temple

The temple in these photos is unbelievable. It is made entirely out of beer bottles. That means the steps, the walls, the columns, all of it. It is absolutely beautiful but somebody has to be drinking a lot of beer.
