This whole debate about Evolution versus Creationism is a very touchy subject. Religion and Science usually don't see eye to eye on this. Some have even criticized Science as if it's a religion in itself, wanting to answer all of life's "ultimate truths." It can't do that. Adam Savage of the Mythbusters clarifies on a few things about what Science is. Details in the full article.

Probably the best proof moon conspiracy theorists out there would ever get, short of NASA itself releasing its records to the public. The Mythbusters tackled the controversial moon landing conspiracy in a recent episode, busting it to pieces. The conspiracy I mean, not the moon. Details in the full article.

Being a huge Mythbusters fan myself, I couldn't let this one go. On August 27, Adam and Jamie will be tackling one of the biggest controversies in history: the moon landing. Was it real? Was it a hoax? We'll soon find out. Go to the full article to watch the Mythbusters set up their workshop in preparation for the big Mythbusting.

Apparently, the secret to anti-gravity is not attaching toasted bread butter-side up to the back of a cat. The secret is (ta-dah!) ionized air, or if we want to be more smart about it, plasma. A professor at the University of Florida (who probably does not believe in the buttered-toast-and-cat setup) will be building his very own flying saucer from this principle and hopes to get it flying next year. Story in the full article.

There's a famous quote said by the folks at Discovery Channel's Mythbusters, and that's "I reject your reality and substitute my own." Well, Hollywood's been doing that for years, and someone at Neatorama's compiled a short list of real physical effects that have been rejected by Hollywood and substituted with something meant for effect.

There are a couple of notable ones, though. The one about shotgun blasts and karate kicks causing people to fly away isn't possible, for example, because every action should have an equal and opposite reaction; therefore, if you kick someone in the face, they'll only fly back as far away as you get thrown back by the awesomeness of your kick.

There's also the one about exploding artillery shells. In that case, artillery shells don't simply blow upwards: they scatter shrapnel all around. The only reason why people in movies survive artillery fire is because the explosions are set below ground, keeping anything that looks like killer metal away from actors' faces.

Oh, and on that final note... No one is really supposed to hear you scream in space. There's no air, remember?

Can ping-pong balls float a sunken boat? Can a cellular phone really cause a gas station to explode? Can silicone implants explode in a pressurized cabin? When we ask questions like these, it can only mean two names: Jamie and Adam - the dynamic (and demented) duo behind the Mythbusters TV series.

Now, for the fans wondering what they've pulled off, here's something to sink your teeth in (it's not a jawbreaker). We found a compilation of the myths they've busted since day one. The list also contains brief explanations on how they pulled each bust off, so guys who may have missed their favorite episodes will want to read this to for a quick sit-rep. As for a sample of what's in the list:

Myth: An assassin can fire an ice bullet to kill someone without leaving a trace.

Result: Busted

Explanation: The bullet was simply too brittle to be used. (This myth was revisited in episode 14 and it was busted again.)

The list (which you can see by clicking "Read" below") covers their series until December 6. Remember that the show's still ongoing, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates. Now, if they can just resolve this one: Can a Wiimote potentially carry enough velocity to maim/kill a person...hear that, Buster?

A lot of us have probably heard of the ever-so-loved "Mythbusters" series in Discovery Channel. Maybe even some of us follow it religiously as fans. I don't blame you. I'm a fan also, as are a some of the QJ bloggers and readers here as well.

To celebrate their show and as a holiday treat to their audience, they just staged a Rube Goldberg machine, and for the first time in their show, they practically didn't have any myth to bust. Well, it's all for fun, anyways. And if anyone knows how to have fun, it's Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, and, of course, Buster. Now, despite having no myth for their experiment, at least they exercise their prowess and expertise on physics.

It's not as complicated as Japan's ramen-cooking Rube Goldberg or as ingenious as the Lego conveyor belt, but hey!, it's fun to watch, and we're just happy that Buster once again gets a painful smack on his face.
