Hahaha! Sweet find!

So we're off to hunt down AJ now I guess...

Whoa, holograms that can touch stuff! EDIT: Holomove, i get it!...

Nice find!

EDIT: maybe thats how Dr. Gough came to his demise (if he did, or maybe he was injured and is now hiding)... how else would his results never make it out?

Wow, kinda cool/disturbing at the end...maybe it's his assistant that's been posting the clues?

Wow, way to go driz! Rock On

Looking at the first names, Charles Albert Darwin, I was thinking Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein.... searching for Einsteinium on youtube lead me nowhere.

Then it dawned on me to try abbreviated versions of randomknowledge, and here's what I stumbled upon...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The title is Nobelium. I suppose this is the answer to the flickr Nobel Prize medal puzzle.

Looking at the logo, the three "atoms" are each a different color (actually, the primary visual colors, keeping with the whole hologram thing) but this would suggest three different atoms (playing with my organic chemistry model kit Smile

) therefore i think we can rule out any 3 atom molecule that has a repeat atom (e.g. H2O, NH2, etc.) and go with any molecule that has 3 distinct components

using the above table as a start point, my analysis narrows it down
leaving: HDO, HCN, HNC, HCO, OCS

ADDENDUM: further analysis of the clues

the periodic table pic indicates H is important so now it leaves
HDO, HCN, HNC, HCO

The bent shape is characteristic of 3 component Oxygen compounds,
us to narrow it down even further:
HDO (monodeuterated water), HCO (formyl radical)

Both are mentioned in a paper involving astrophysics and.... you guessed it... lasers!

and beyond that, no clue...

The more I look into it, I believe Phosphene is what we are looking for. It fits with the links to Albert Hoffman (hallucinogens) and Charles Messier (seeing stars) but not sure how it would link to Darwin Booher.

And what does this have to do with everything else, if anything at all? I don't know. It just makes some sense considering the hologram plot.

Well, given that my digg profile says that I am 'from Chicago (US)' I figure that (AG) is a country code, which seems to correspond to either Algeria or Antigua and Barbuda.

Algeria = .dz
Antigua and Barbuda = .ag
ISO Country Codes

Looks like there are three atoms in the molecule....And plenty of molecules have three atoms. How can we determine which it is?

Ok I'm bored with reading about chemistry and ionic bonds and trying to figure out what the chemical formula for the logo would be. Did I mention I failed the AP Chem test because I hated chem and didn't think I'd ever need it in film school?

Someone who enjoys/remembers this stuff figure it out. I'm pretty sure that the logo and the periodic table are related in some way. Also while reading around I noticed lasers kept coming up? I thought there was some mention of lasers at one point but have no desire to go digging through 24 pages looking for it.

The holomove logo? At first look i assumed it was water....
