Somehow Physics Always Ends Up As Metaphysics

Somehow, a radioactive element's decay on Earth is directly linked to solar flares.  In explaining this phenomenon across 93 million miles, they lose me.  But then again, I'm easily lost on even a 10 mile journey.  It is certainly an interesting thing, however.  Check out the link and learn something, just for the halibut.

The photo is the most detailed ever of a Sunspot using the visible spectrum from an Earth-based telescope.

And the search for the long postulated Anti-Universe has gotten a big boost lately, as a detector is now on the International Space Station (which also has treadmill named after a Comedy Central Star!).  The Anti-Universe is apparently the one where Coach Groves would have given you a hug after a good race and a pat on the butt and positive feedback when your race didn't go as well as you had hoped.  Yeah, that Universe.  I'm afraid they will never find that one.
