This turning out to be a physicist-oriented morning. This story, again initially from io9.com, is not happy or funny, though. io9.com seems to have confused some of the facts, so if you follow any links, use this one, instead. This Australian physicist, working in southeastern Ontario, CA, goes out to take his trash out and simply disappears. No one has a clue, despite thorough investigation and search of the surrounding area. Could some secret agency have whisked him away? Aliens, even? Could he have come to some realization about the nature of the universe that caused him to cease to exist or travel through space/time? Nobody seems to know, but the lack of physical (no pun intended) evidence contraindicates animal attack or accidental death. It's just creepy.
