Mercury- Messenger of the Gods (Planetary Series)In our tour of the solar system, we should begin by exploring the innermost planet. A short distance from the inferno of our sun we find it, hurtling through space at 40 to 60 kilometers per second in its 88 day cycle around the sun. Our Food...Only An Image Of The Past!With chemistry having replaced our organically produced liquid sweeteners, it is hoped that the decades old intrusions of similar additives will be removed from all of the foods we eat so that we may return to the times real foods. Formation of VolcanoVolcano- Crack in the Earth crust through which hot Magma (molten rock) and gases well up. Are Whales and Dolphins Marine Mammals or Fishes?A lot of people are confused about the nature and classification of both whales and dolphins. The main question is: "Are whales and dolphins, marine mammals or fishes?" Mars - Planets Taste Better With ChocolateIs there life on Mars? If there is, they probably don't want uninvited guests. Hoping to find life shouldn't be a reason to ignore the lives in front of you. Does the Moon Help Trees Grow?Trees are such remarkable organic marvels one has to be in awe. They turn CO2 into Oxygen and water moves all the way up inside their tree trunks, but how. Does the full moon help trees grow and move the water up their trunks? Well as bizarre as this sounds, it did become part of a discussion Biotechnology MarketThe biotechnology market is an ever-expanding, demanding, controversial and lucrative market. As long as the need for something better and the hunger for knowledge exist, biotechnology will be the crux for much crucial development and enhancement. Academic Corruption of ResearchAcademically speaking it is rather obvious that the integrity of our research and development facilities, academic institutions and University research departments be maintained at all costs. Yet we are seeing a paradigm shift in that it is amazing the lack of oversight in the research, which is produced. There are many reasons for this of course. Academic Creme of the Crop at Issue in Research SciencesAs our civilization becomes more technologically advanced we will reach a point where we will definitely need more sharper and brighter minds to run all the systems, computers and equipment. No dummies allowed will be the new paradigm. In other words only the crème of the crop will be able to run things. Red Leafed Plants: Evolution in Progress?This article dwells into the existence of red-leafed plants. It addresses the reason for their coloration, as well as advantages and disadvantages based on scientific evidence, while posing the question if their presence is evidence of evolution in progress. The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 3 of 3This three-part series captures the final moments of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two Italian towns that were destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius' devastating eruption. It brings the reader back in time, chronologically piecing together the horrific events using many of the words and observations from the people of that time who were in the best position to know. The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 2 of 3This three-part series captures the final moments of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two Italian towns that were destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius' devastating eruption. It brings the reader back in time, chronologically piecing together the horrific events using many of the words and observations from the people of that time who were in the best position to know. The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 1 of 3This three-part series captures the final moments of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two Italian towns that were destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius' devastating eruption. It brings the reader back in time, chronologically piecing together the horrific events using many of the words and observations from the people of that time who were in the best position to know. Dark Night Sky: Olbers ParadoxThe darkness of night sky had defied explanation for a long time. A German physician first posed the question why and gave some explanation that he himself thought unconvincing. Only a century later more sophisticated astronomical observations led to a conclusive answer to the question. Night sky is dark because the universe is expanding. Does Our DNA Have Memory?It is widely accepted that characteristics which an organism acquires during one's life are not imprinted on the genetic material (DNA) and therefore are not transferred to the next generation. It might sound ridiculous but is there a chance that the above statement is not 100% true? Could a Comet Hit the Earth and Trigger a Tsunami in the Atlantic?Currently we have a Comet which has broken up and whose fragments will be flying by Earth. Do not worry no fragments of any large size are expected to hit the Earth so we are safe. But what if a similar scenario in the future occurred and one did? Well sure that could happen and we occasionally here about large asteroids, meteors and Comets... Time Travel - A Possibility or Just the Stuff of Science Fiction?It's been written about in hundreds of books, the subject of fantasy for everyone at one time or another, and the government has actually devoted research at one time or another on the subject. If you do a search on the Internet for time travel you will find millions of entries on it, and hundreds of websites fully devoted to talking about it. Wouldn't it be cool if you could travel back in time? The Flat CosmosScience strives to explain the universe through observation and analysis. It does this by examining, probing and analyzing the things that can be observed in the cosmos. But what about those things that we may not be able to observe? What if there is more to this macrocosm we call home than meets the eye? Accelerating Active Academic ResearchAll too often important scientific work is shut down due to lack of funding and often that information is not made available to the scientific community because it is not fully proven yet and those working on the project want to hold onto the discoveries up to that point until future funds can be secured. Days of Darkness (AD 535-AD 546)We take the sun for granted. It is expected that the sun will rise, but what would happen if it didn't rise for a prolonged period of time. Such a moment existed starting in 535 AD. The Improved Ion EngineWe may now be able to fly to any planet in the solar system and beyond. This is all due to the invention of the new Ion engine. Ozone Misinformation 101: How to Keep Ozone Therapy and Smog Solutions from Coming to MarketWhat is smog? Is ozone the culprit? Ozone is three oxygen molecules that near earth is created when man made pollutants and heat from sunlight are present. Ozone is not the culprit however. Hydrocarbons, VOC's, and nitrous oxides (exhaust basically) are the true causes of smog. LEDs ...The Technology That Will Soon Light Our PlanetWith the inception of the first electric light source, we could not envision an advanced technology such as the LED, but it has now finally arived and is rapidly reaping its dominance. Future Highways: Three Possible Futures for the Human RaceThere are three primary highways our future can take and an infinite number of detours possible along each path. The greatest number of these possibilities are just a repetition of our past, with enumerable rises and falls along the way (the higher the rise the harder the fall), spanning into the distant future. Searching For Gold Nuggets; New Ideas Yield New Prospective AreasProspecting for gold or other precious metal placer, eluvial, or alluvial deposits is becoming progressively more difficult as new search areas become less available. A new concept of precious metal nugget formation may yield new exploration prospects. Travel Back In Time To The Ice Age - How To View A GalaxyYou can see a galaxy in the sky and don’t even need a telescope or binoculars. The attempt should be made on a clear, moonless night. In addition, it would help to travel out into the country, away from city lights, shopping malls, and other sources of "light pollution." Traditional and Modern Food BiotechnologyWith the increase in the global demand for food and food products, scientists all over the world have been probing the possibility of finding a way to increase crop yields, enhance and improve the nutritional value and taste, while protecting the environment by reducing the use of chemicals such as pesticides. This is where biotechnology comes into the picture by providing the required technology to achieve those. Chemical SafetyHandling chemicals can be very dangerous. All of these measures will help to keep you and those around you safe when dealing with chemicals. Four Dimensional SpaceSo far technology is based on the basic principles of three dimensional space, which exist within a further dimension of time. Modern theories which are based on three dimensional space cannot explain our planets or galaxies motion within the universe or explain what mechanisms actually control the planets orbiting of a sun. The fact that different galaxies have different cosmic or universal speeds cannot be ignored, and the constant conditions acting on all matter within these galaxies must also be different everywhere. Rationalizing Frequency Pollution Sciences and Academic DebatesMany people sense that perhaps modern human civilizations have been over bombarded with frequency pollution. Everything from Microwaves, cell phones, radio transmissions, radar, power lines and electronic handheld devices for entertainment have been targeted as potential problems for the human biosystem.
