Fridaygram: Galapagos images, smart dog, timely entanglement

Fridaygram highlights a variety of intriguing stories, starting with the announcement of new Street View panoramic images of the Galapagos Islands, captured using the Street View Trekker in collaboration with the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galapagos National Parks Directorate. These images, including underwater views from the Catlin Seaview Survey, will be added to Google Maps and serve as a valuable visual record for future comparisons. The post also introduces Chaser, an exceptionally intelligent border collie who understands over 1,000 words and basic grammar, showcasing the potential for animal learning. Additionally, a groundbreaking discovery in quantum physics reveals that particles can be entangled even if they do not exist simultaneously, an experiment described as "really cool" by Jeremy O'Brien from the University of Bristol. The Fridaygram concludes with a nod to the recent Google I/O conference, encouraging readers to explore session videos or an inspiring introductory video from the event.
