Why We Need A Four Dimension Atomic ModelScientific physicists generally are very reluctant to accept change, continually working with empirically generated dimensionless physical constants similar to the Fine Structure Constant, then using these dimensionless constants explain away mathematical abnormalities in current three dimension quantum atomic theory.If asked what is a physical constant? or how to prove the value of physical constant from first principles, an answer is usually not forthcoming. Naturally Occurring Nanoparticles: The Hidden DimensionNano-size particles, so small that they no longer exhibit signature elemental properties are commonly investigated, altered, and used for industrial purposes. Do such nano-size particles commonly exist in naturally occuring geologic materials? Sun Sational EnergyThe American Solar Energy Society is a national non-profit group that dedicates itself to promoting and advancing solar energy use to benefits the national as well as global environment. It is the ASES mission to promote widespread use of solar engery for the short term as well as long term. Sundials: Do they Really Tell Time?Sundials have been around since the days of the Sumerians, some five thousand years ago, and were the earliest known means of keeping time. As to whether you can actually tell time by using a sundial, that's a bit trickier. Amazing New Hubble PicsNew Hubble pics - how exciting! The latest of the new Hubble pics is of a black hole, which they've captioned as being in need of a home.
To get these new Hubble pics a team of astronomers, all from Europe, combined the power of the Hubble Space Telescope with that Getting Started: Basic Questions About EvolutionFrequently asked questions and brief answers about biological evolution by an evolutionary zoologist Sun Spot Activity and Earthquakes; Related?It seems that as the Sun Spot activity increases and we get solar flares we often also seem to have Earth Events. Have you ever noticed that Hurricanes intensify during high peaks of Sun Spot or Solar Flare activity? Solar Flares Affect The Earth, Atmosphere and Perhaps Human Behavior TooSolar flares heat up the Atmosphere of Earth and cause extreme weather and this is well documented indeed. But do solar flares also affect the human mind or brain and thus affect human behavior too? This question was recently brought up in an online think tank and Sue asked Do Hurricanes Really Cause Earthquakes?Many people believe that Hurricanes can cause Earthquakes. Some say that is absurd however if you consider the tidal storm surges and the water weight movements of the ocean you can see why this is so. Recently this subject came up in an online think tank and one guest member asked Chemistry Course Got You Down? Here's HopeIf you're struggling through high school or college chemistry, take heart. In 2003, a man who got a D in chemistry in high school won the Nobel Prize, the most prestigious award any chemist could ever receive. What is BiotechnologyThe UN Convention on Biological Diversity states, "Biotechnology is any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use". The Myth of Human Evolution"Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups, this theory has done nothing for the advancement of science, it is useless." D. Bounoure, Director of research for the French National Center for Scientific Research The Science of Forensic InvestigationThe science of forensic investigation has been around for hundreds of years. In the past hundred years however, Forensic investigation has developed and the progress that has been made is astounding. The art of forensic investigation is used every day on crime scenes throughout the world. Reversing Mother Nature, Part ThreeWe talked to North America’s leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature. Reversing Mother Nature, Part TwoWe talked to North America’s leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.

Talk About "Hidden" Costs - Technically SpeakingUnveiling some unintentional, unaviodable overcharges of our
local municipalities - for several decades ? "God Does Not Play Dice (with the Universe)"Albert Einstein disliked quantum theory for several reasons of which two were its probabilistic nature and the concept of non-locality. In spite of the theory's remarkable sucess he kept insisting that it was incomplete. Plato and Quantum Physics (Part 2)The mathematical formulation of quantum theory presents some difficulties in as much as it leads to some apparently ridiculous results. This is illustrated by Schrodingers' Cat paradox. The critical role of the observer in creating observation is discussed in the light of the paradox. Plato and Quantum Physics (Part 1)Plato lived in fifth and fourth century B.C. Quantum physics emerged only in the twentieth century. It is remarkable to see how his words resonate with those of some eminent quantum physicists. DOE and Advanced Energy InitiativesMost Americans do not realize that the Department of Energy has been working on the advanced energy initiatives to help our nation through its energy crisis. The goal is simple to keep up with the increasing demands in the United States of America Schwassmann Wachmann Comet 73P She Is Breaking UpNASA says not to worry about the comet and yes it is breaking up as it heads on its way towards the sun. It will come very close to earth but the comet will not hit Earth NASA scientists say. Quartz Clocks and Atomic ClocksQuartz Clocks and Atomic Clocks - always save the best for last Mechanical ClocksMechanical Clocks - a transitional step between Ancient Clocks and Atomic Clocks Ancient ClocksCurious about the history of clocks? A few words about obelisks, water clocks and their peers - just enough to make you to want to dig deeper... Why?Honestly, I am sick to death of the eternal squabbling between science and religion.
Religion is a methodology that has been constructed to enable humans to
understand their place in the universe. Science is a methodology that has been
constructed to enable humans to understand their place in the universe. There are
similarities in the limitations of both systems of thought. In some sense, science
and religion are the same. In my opinion, the most important discovery in science is
that there are things that we cannot ever know about the universe. Why The Frogs No Longer Sing - A Case Study on The Survival of A Freshwater LakeFrom a pristine freshwater lake teeming with fish, the Tasek Chini lake now is threatened by various external factors so that even fish and frogs are disappearing from the lake. What steps can we take to ensure the survival of the fragile ecosystem of a freshwater lake? Global Warming Alarmists Are Missing The Point In Earth Cyclesbut some climate models show a futuristic hyperbolic curve, which is scary to many folks. Recently in an ongoing online think tank this subject came up and one member stated; The Energy Waste DilemmaFor decades now, the worldhas been consuming energy with little
thought that the source of the fuel is finite. We may be just
now beginning to learn this innevitable truth. The Observed Presence of Silver, Gold, and Platinum - Group Metals In Oil and Gas Production WasteA ubiquitous occurrence of very fine-grained, metallic particles of gold, silver, and probably platinum-group metals has been identified in oil and gas waste material produced from several oil and gas fields located in Oklahoma, New Mexico, and eastern China. It is suggested that this association of precious metals and oil field waste is pervasive, widespread, and possibly related to the origin of oil and gas.
