Volcanoes and lightning…. They just work together… Evidently, Volcanic eruptions can cause Lightning storms that originate in the volcanic ash. Presumably the static build up in the ash, is so intense that spontaneous lightning discharges can/will occur? (Real scientific data is here. The Scientific details are below the pictures…) But I wanted to share some […]
This photo was taken around 1940 and has not been digitally tampered with. So what\’s the deal with the young man in the contemporary-looking sunglasses, t-shirt, and camera? Proof of time travel? Forgetomori investigates.
A video showing the July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 Saturn V Launch from Kennedy Space Center. The camera is running at 500 fps, making the total clip of over 8 minutes represent just 30 seconds of actual time.
Slashdot! Xemu writes \’Computer\’s don\’t make children fat, but watching TV for the same length of time does. This is shown by a recent Swedish study of all school children in Lund\’s county conducted by RN Pernilla Garmy. The results were clear: The child\’s obesity was directly affected by placing a TV in the child\’s […]
Here\’s the original article: Mother Jones notes that in private interviews, Glenn Beck, fiery loon of the right, privately seems to believe in anthropogenic climate change. Last week he mocked climate scientists for being \’alarmists\’ who believe that \’we\’re all going to die in a fiery flood.\’ Not long ago he touted the global warming […]
News Flash…. News Flash…. Researchers on Wednesday published a technical paper in the journal Advanced Materials that describes a solar cell made of abundant materials with relatively high efficiency. The cell can convert 9.6 percent of solar energy into electrical energy, a 40 percent boost over current methods. What makes this more remarkable is that […]
\”n Western films, the gunslinger that draws first always gets shot. This seems like a standard Hollywood trope but it diverted the attention of no less a scientist that Niels Bohr, one of history\’s greatest physicists. Taking time off from solving the structure of the atom, Bohr suggested that it takes more time to initiate […]
Astronomers witnessed a supernova in progress, observing jets of material moving at relativistic speeds: up to half the speed of light. Scientist Megan Argo wanted to explain this exciting discovery to the public, so she wrote a Doctor Who story. As the highly technical press release explains, scientists were able to detect \’relativistic outflow\’ in […]
