Top 10 Scientific Discoveries



10. The Drinking Cat

A cat can drink milk without getting its chin and whiskers wet.

The practical applications for this? None at all. Does that matter? Not a bit.

9. A New Element — Maybe - ununseptium

Lead, iron and uranium are nothing compared to ununseptium, the temporary name for element 117, an extremely heavy combination of berkelium and calcium isotopes created in a particle accelerator in Dubna, Russia. The new element existed for only the tiniest fraction of a second before vanishing again.

Mark Zuckerberg & Facebook


Person of the Year 2010

For connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them; for creating a new system of exchanging information; and for changing how we all live our lives, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is TIME's 2010 Person of the Year.

It's a fair question. Almost seven years ago, in February 2004, when Zuckerberg was a 19-year-old sophomore at Harvard, he started a Web service from his dorm. It was called Thefacebook.com, and it was billed as "an online directory that connects people through social networks at colleges." This year, Facebook — now minus the the — added its 550 millionth member. One out of every dozen people on the planet has a Facebook account. They speak 75 languages and collectively lavish more than 700 billion minutes on Facebook every month. Last month the site accounted for 1 out of 4 American page views. Its membership is currently growing at a rate of about 700,000 people a day.

The Top 10 Everything of 2009


High Hombres

If you want to get high in Spain, just walk outside. In May, an air-quality test conducted by the state-run Superior Council of Scientific Investigations found trace amounts of several drugs, including cocaine and lysergic acid (a component of LSD), in air samples taken outdoors in Madrid and Barcelona. To be fair, the Madrid sample was taken near a dilapidated building inhabited by drug dealers, while Barcelona's was taken near a university. (Oh, those college students!) But the U.S. State Department ranks Spain as the largest cocaine consumer in Europe, and the trace amounts of drugs in the air were greater than those tested in other countries. So can you really get high by breathing deeply in Spain? Hardly. Drug amounts registered between 29 and 850 picograms — a picogram is one-trillionth of a gram — per cubic meter of air.

Life is only a movie: Thriller.The King Is Dead: What are you talking about?

Jackson's 1982 album Thriller became a worldwide sensation and established the artist as a transcendent superstar. "Jackson is the biggest thing since the Beatles," TIME declared. Thriller sold 45 million copies, the most of any album in history until recently; at its peak, more than a million copies flew off shelves each week. When the title track's 14-minute video — which redefined music video as an art form — aired in December 1983, MTV aired it twice an hour in response to popular demand. The next year, the album won a record eight Grammy Awards.
