At his side was a bronze ax of a type 18 in southerncentral Europe around 2000 B.C.

The newsoftware is being developed by a team led by Jeff Hancock at Cornell University in New York State. "We askedpeople to come into the labs and write lies and we had other people come in and write the truth," says Hancock. "Usingthis method, we've developed a database of tens of thousands of emails.”The scientists have analyzed the data and identified a number of methods to predict whether or not a person islying. One of the most important methods is the length of a message. Lying emails have, on average, 28% more wordsthan truthful messages. Another method is the overuse of sense words, such as "see," "feel," and "touch." "When you'relying, you want the other person to believe you, so you give more details," says Hancock.Liars also tend to use pronouns like "we" and "they" rather than "I" as a way of distancing themselves from a liebecause they feel guilty. "People often use negative emotional words too, because they feel uncomfortable when they'relying," says Hancock. "So they will use terms like "sad," "angry," "unhappy" and "stressed."Previous research has shown that up to one third of communications at work involve lying of some sort. The mostcommon workplace lie is pretending to be sick to avoid going to work.But Peter Collett, a psychologist who has written a book on lying, is skeptical about Hancock's work. "You cansee if somebody is lying by looking at their body language, how fast they talk, and how they speak," he says. "How cana computer program see all this? They've clearly done a lot of research, but with emails all you have is words."

The retired supersonic passenger airliner, still 31 a remarkable achievement of the engineering,first entered service in 1976. It had the most powerful and efficient engines at supersonic speeds. During flight, it wouldstretch between 6 and 10 inches from its normal length, 32 the heating of the airframe. A special white paint wasthus used to help reflect and radiate the heat.Concorde used to fly regularly from London and Paris to New York and Washington. It flew these routes in 33 halfthe time of other airlines. A trip from London to New York with Concorde took nearly three hours and thirty minutes asopposed to eight hours with Boeing 777 or Airbus 330. That is to say, it was not 34 for business people to take aday trip to New York and return home in London before pubs closed. With only 20 aircraft built, 35 , Concordewas not a success in terms of economic profit. After the aircraft’s only crash in 2000 and the 911 terrorist attack in 2001,Concorde was retired in 2003, bringing to an end the era of supersonic passenger transportation.
