I work as a scientist in the area of coating nanotechnology, or more precisely in the development of so called nano sputtering methods. Nano sputtering is a way to position single atoms or clusters of many atoms onto a surface to form a pattern with a nanometer thickness. Often the result is rather random; it is a little bit like firing off a shotgun against a wall with the atoms as shots. My research is aiming for methods to fine-tune the sputtering in order to achieve a desired pattern and thickness instead of just a random pattern, and I did recently a quite fantastic discovery I would like to disclose at your web site. An important parameter is the Diertmann-Zeigler value (d/z value) which easily can be understood as the lateral spin energy of the atom when the Möbier coefficient is set to 1 in the equation below:
When the d/z value is continually changed from 0.24 (which is focal zero point) to 9.56 (which is van Haank’s theoretical maximum) the achieved atom pattern should according to the theory be totally random. However, according to my findings there is one single value (d/z = 1.115) which does not give a random pattern, but always exactly the same pattern (see below).
The d/z value 1.115 is equal to π/e and obviously a natural constant which I hereby would like to denominate the spaghetti constant s.

glow in the dark spaghetti & (bouncing) meatballs… found at archie mcphee’s in seattle. on that day, i took this amazing visage as an omen that the almighty noodler wanted me to just chill the fuck out. yes, watch out for choking on small balls. ironically, this sighting immediately followed the minor nationwide rash of teabagger parties.
the beach shot was taken new year’s day on rockaway beach, oregon coast… indeed a sign of good things to come!
cheers!

Evidence in Chile
Published by Bobby Henderson May 7th, 2009 in General FSM news and evidence. 5 Comments

I´m Stefan from Australia. I´m currently backpacking through South America at the moment. I was in the city of Castro, on Isla Grande de Chiloé (Chile) last week when I came across an Italian Pizza/PASTA restaurant with a mural on the wall above it which suggests to me that the word of the FSM is spreading.
In Exhibit 1, we can clearly see His noodly appendage in the artwork on the left.
Exhibit 2 clearly shows what appears to be an interpretation of Michaelangelo´s “Creation of Adam”, much like what devout Pastafarians would be familiar with, with something very noodly-looking handing a piece of pizza to what appears to be a “midgit” Adam.
I knew when I saw it that I had been touched by the FSM. What a blessing! So seeing that it was Friday and I was very hungry, I went inside and enjoyed a nice big plate of spaghetti for lunch.
rAmen.

impressions in the sand
Published by Bobby Henderson May 5th, 2009 in General FSM news and evidence. 19 Comments

I recently learned of the FSM but didn’t take it seriously, as I thought it was intended to mock Christianity….but then, as if by the power of Marinara, I came across this undeniable evidence while on a road trip to Las Vegas. I was on I-80 near Reno, NV when I found these impressions left in the sand. There can be no other explanation.

More Evidence that His Noodliness Created the Universe
Published by Bobby Henderson May 3rd, 2009 in General FSM news and evidence. 23 Comments
Behold! Astronomers have discovered even more evidence that His Noodliness created the Universe and blessed it with rum-swilling Pirates:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/apr/21/space-raspberries-amino-acids-astrobiology
The centre of the Galaxy also tastes of raspberries, which make an excellent dessert following a hearty meal of spaghetti, meatballs, and grog.
And there’s more! Not only did He imbue our galaxy with the divine scent of rum, but He crafted its instrument of intoxication as well!
The molecules are thought to form when chemicals that already exist on some dust grains, such as ethanol, link together to make more complex chains.
Booze in space. Can there be any evidence more convincing that His Noodliness loves us?

Ancient FSM worshipping in sweden
Published by Bobby Henderson April 30th, 2009 in General FSM news, evidence and sightings. 11 Comments
As a fairly fresh pastafarian i recently was blessed by his noodly precense when making plans for midsummer celebration.
In sweden we’ve had a pagan summer solstice celebration since at least the 13′th century, dancing around a flower covered installation.
And mark my word, i was astonished when i saw the resemblance to the holy carbohydrate-creator.

mystery snow print
Published by Bobby Henderson April 17th, 2009 in General FSM news and evidence. 9 Comments
This imprint was found today on a snowy field in Orivesi, Finland. People are trying to figure out what made this kind or prints in the snow. Some are guessing it was a meteorite, others think it was just caused by melting water. But we know the truth, right?

molecular FSM
Published by Bobby Henderson January 15th, 2009 in General FSM news, evidence and sightings. 14 CommentsWhat at first resembles a sea anemone clasping two pearls is really a micrometer-scale construct created through a new technique devised at Harvard University.
To make these objects, materials science professor Joanna Aizenberg, applied math professor L. Mahadevan, and colleagues fabricate an array of hairlike, epoxy fibers poking up from a substrate, which they then submerge in a liquid such as ethanol or tolulene. As the liquid evaporates, capillary forces cause the flexible hairs to clump and then twist together.
The ropelike structures formed can themselves twine with other ropes. “The process is similar to the formation of dreadlocks” from wet, curly hair, Aizenberg explains.

Many-armed creature predates dinosaurs
Published by Bobby Henderson November 5th, 2008 in General FSM news and evidence. 23 Comments
Carbonaceous compression of many-armed creature - dates around 550 million years ago.
Discovery News reports the finding of a fossil formed around a many-armed creature. Dating shows that this creature was in the area hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs existed.
The implications for Pastafarians are obvious: this is strong evidence that the FSM has been hanging around since time began, and created us all, including the dinosaurs.
There is no question the creature, believed to represent one type of animal, had a lot of arms. [...] The arms were tubular and in close contact with each other, but not joined.
Protein resembles FSM

I was viewing a Website for my biology course when I had this holy experience.

The ribbon model of the example protein (View five) Looks EXACTLY like His Noodlyness.
Recently, I have been doubting my faith in the FSM. I take this as a sign that he is still with me. I have never felt more touched than I do now.

Steve, I disagree with your conclusions. But as this is a matter of religion, the burden is on me to disprove your claim. Well done.

Galactic Spaghetti Monster
Published by Bobby Henderson August 22nd, 2008 in General FSM news and evidence. 19 Comments
Respected science publication New Scientist has provided us startling evidence of the FSM in a report of the phenomenon pictured above, which they’ve termed the “Galactic ‘Spaghetti Monster’”.
Long-lived magnetic fields are sustaining a mammoth network of spaghetti-like gas filaments around a black hole, a new study suggests. Previously, it was not clear what prevented the delicate filaments from being destroyed by competing gravitational forces.
The black hole lies at the heart of a large galaxy known as NGC 1275, which itself lies near the centre of a cluster of galaxies called Perseus.
As the black hole sucks in gas from its surroundings, it powers jets of matter that produce bubbles of energetic particles in the surrounding cluster gas. As these bubbles grow and rise, cooled gas from NGC 1275’s core gets drawn into long tendrils in their wake, like the strings that trail behind balloons.
Until now, no one was sure quite how old these gas filaments were or how they avoided being torn apart by the galaxy cluster’s immense gravitational forces. “Quite what the filaments are and how they are produced hasn’t been known,” says study author Andrew Fabian of Cambridge University in the UK.
But Hubble Space Telescope images used in the study, the most detailed yet taken of the galaxy, are changing that.
They show the gas filaments seem to be made up of a number of thin threads. These threads are so tenuous that magnetic fields are the only thing that can protect them from being destroyed, says Fabian.

Thanks, New Scientist!
Microscopic Noodle Bowl

In this Dec., 2006 photomicrograph released Thursday, May 29, 2008 by The Nakao Hamaguchi Laboratory of the University of Tokyo, a ‘carbon nanotube ramen’ in a bowl with diameter measuring one-thousandth of a millimeter (one-25,000th of an inch) produced by the university’s mechanical engineering Prof. Masayuki Nakao and his students in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology is shown. ‘We believe it’s the world’s smallest ramen bowl, with the smallest portion of noodles inside, though they’re not edible,’ Nakao said. The microscopic bowl was first created in December 2006, but was only revealed Thursday after it was entered for a microphotography competition this month.

More evidence of the pirates - temperature relationship
Published by Bobby Henderson April 4th, 2008 in General FSM news, evidence and pirates. 40 CommentsThe evidence for the relationship between pirates and global temperature continues to mount.
CNN reports, “The International Maritime Bureau, which tracks piracy, said in its annual report earlier this year that global pirate attacks rose by 10 percent in 2007, marking the first increase in three years. ”
Then, BBC News reports “Global Temperatures to decrease“.
The mainstream media may ignore the pirate-temperature link that Pastafarians have long known, but soon the evidence will be so overwhelming that they cannot ignore the Truth.
Further evidence: Google Trends shows a very solid relationship.

That screenshot is remarkable and 100% legit - not doctored. You can try it yourself here.
Congrats to Pastafarians Oliver and Adrian for spotting the CNN/BBC evidence.
Did Moses see the FSM?
Published by Bobby Henderson January 20th, 2008 in General FSM news and evidence. 44 CommentsA very clever man who I know only as Theologikos has made the claim that Moses did not see a Burning Bush, but instead our Flying Spaghetti Monster.
He makes the argument that Moses may simply have had bad eyesight. If this was the case, what looked like a Burning Bush could easily have been the FSM.
With perfect vision, it’s easy to tell the two apart:

But with bad eyesight, the two look very similar:

I’m convinced. Thank you, Theologikos.

startling evidence - piracy vs global warming
Published by Bobby Henderson November 4th, 2007 in General FSM news and evidence. 40 CommentsDiscovered by Pastafarian Koji:
I’m amazed, I was thinking that your churches theories on global warming were just a bit off. I was using Google Trends and I came up with a startling chart.
As you will notice, when I compared ‘free movies’ and ‘global warming’ whenever people search for free movies, less people search for global warming. Why you ask… Because no new developments come up while piracy occurs.

When Koji sent me this, even I was skeptical. But it’s legit: try it yourself.
