French filmmakers Adrien M/Claire B’s trippy experiment in ‘time remap’.

Slit scan – the type of photography being used above – is a mechanical filming technique famously used in the Jon Pertwee-era opening titles of Dr Who, the ‘stretching’ of the USS Enterprise as it accelerated to warp speed in Star Trek: TNG and the stargate’ sequence in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. A combination of long exposure time and camera movements is used to create psychedelic flows of colour and warped motion effects.

We are frequently asked if we could recommend an interesting Ireland-based science website named after a Japanese crab.

As it happens, yes we can.

You may dislike this so.

This might be of interest in relation to your post earlier regarding the National Newspapers of ireland taking issue with search engines ‘pirating’ their content.

All the major search engine crawlers will obey a file called robots.txt where you can set rules as to what they are allowed to index.

All of the major newspaper can make use of this file and you will be surprised to know all the major Irish newspapers explicitly allow search engines to index their content.

If they don’t want links to their content showing up in search results all they have to do is add the following line to the file and all will be sorted,

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

But why would they do so as most of their traffic is from search engines?

Oh.
