Beijing News Bits: Dinosaurs, the world’s biggest planetarium, new Maglev subway line and pseudo-science strikes again

Chinanews.cn: New China Science and Technology Museum Boasts the World’s Largest Domed Planetarium; Beijing Youth Daily: Three dinosaur fossils to arrive in Beijing this week (articles in Chinese)
Set to re-open this fall (date TBD), the new China Science and Technology Museum (not to be confused with the original facility of the same name located on the north Third Ring Road and now closed), unveiled its design and features at a press conference yesterday.
Located in the Olympic Forest Park just north of the Bird's Nest, the new 102,000-square-meter facility sits on 48,000 square meters of land. At its center is a 28-meter, 9-story tall central atrium surrounded by new multi-leveled exhibition halls housed within a structure designed to resemble an ancient cube puzzle with interspersing pieces (somewhat like a Rubik’s Cube).
The museum also boasts the world’s largest planetarium – a 600-seat theater housed in a 30-meter wide dome with a special “4D” section containing 50 seats that vibrate and rock in concert with the action on screen.
In related news, the BJYD reports three valuable dinosaur from the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan fossils – including a 2.6-meter tall Lufengosaurus specimen, the oldest dinosaur species discovered in China – will arrive at the museum tomorrow for display in the main hall.

The Guardian: Why MSG allergy is fake science
Danwei.org founder and Beijing media denizen Jeremy Goldkorn takes exception to a common claim about MSG: “In May this year, the medical journal Clinical & Experimental Allergy published a review of more than a decade of scientific research into "the possible role of MSG in the so-called 'Chinese restaurant syndrome'". Chinese restaurant syndrome is the popular slang for allergies or adverse reactions that some people claim they get after eating food containing the flavour-enhancer monsodium glutamate, or MSG, that is widely used in many processed foods and also added to many Asian dishes. What is amazing about the publication of this research is not that it concludes MSG allergy is a myth, but that a scientific journal still needs to bother debunking such pseudoscience at all.”
