The North’s Jordan: The Legacy of Vince Carter

“When I played for the Spurs we were in Game 7 in Dallas, and they ran a play like that and he hit the game-winner, from the same corner. Pump fake, jumper, three. I was guarding the in-bounder, and Pop was mad I let it get to the corner. And I just remember that shot in Philly in that series, when I was growing up, and he hit it. He actually hit it. And I was like, you have to hit it this time, huh? You have to hit it this time.” — Raptors guard, and Toronto native, Cory Joseph.

This Video of People Climbing a Skyscraper Is So Damn Stressful

Shun Hung Square is a 1,260-foot tall skyscraper that’s the third tallest building in Shenzhen, China. It’s really, really tall.

New Clues to the Mystery of How Our Brains Keep Time

OUR BRAINS HAVE an extraordinary ability to monitor time. A driver can judge just how much time is left to run a yellow light; a dancer can keep a beat down to the millisecond. But exactly how the brain tracks time is still a mystery. Researchers have defined the brain areas involved in movement, memory, color vision and other functions, but not the ones that monitor time. Indeed, our neural timekeeper has proved so elusive that most scientists assume this mechanism is distributed throughout the brain, with different regions using different monitors to keep track of time according to their needs.

Music Can’t Last Forever, Not Even on the Internet

RECORDED MUSIC WAS once incredibly fragile. Before the days of digital music, an independent band might press only a few thousand, or even a few hundred copies of a vinyl record. Those albums only became more rare over the years as copies were scratched, broken, or thrown out. Likewise, master recordings could be damaged or lost, making the record difficult or impossible to reissue.
