Oh well, the links worked in preview, but not anymore.

The pictures were pretty pointless anyway, but the article is interesting.

From the Telegraph:

A SPACE probe launched 30 years ago has come under the influence of a force that has baffled scientists and could rewrite the laws of physics.

Researchers say Pioneer 10, which took the first close-up pictures of Jupiter before leaving our solar system in 1983, is being pulled back to the sun by an unknown force. The effect shows no sign of getting weaker as the spacecraft travels deeper into space, and scientists are considering the possibility that the probe has revealed a new force of nature.

Only the first related link is dead at the moment. The rest are there...especially the one on string theory.

Some questions are disquieting because they can be answered in only one of two, equally mind-boggling ways. For instance, are we the sole intelligent beings in the universe or will we find others?

It is quite possible that other intelligent beings exist and that we will never find them.

Does each cycle consume one turtle? With an infinite number of turtles, it wouldn't matter.

Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.

Hmm... Atheists might be troubled by that juxtaposition (intelligence and non-discovery).
