Academic Creme of the Crop at Issue in Research Sciences
As 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 cr?Read more…Academic Corruption of Research
Academically 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.Read more…Biotechnology Market
The 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.The biotechnology market covers a large area, and has vast and crucial branches among them.Read more…Dark Night Sky: Olbers Paradox
It was long before science became compartmentalized. Professions could freely intermingle and overlap. Wilhelm Olbers was a German physician who enjoyed exploring the night sky with his telescope.Read more…The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 1 of 3
It was approximately 1 PM and lunchtime in Pompeii and Herculaneum when Mt. Vesuvius’ 19 hours of sustained eruptions began that left both towns buried in volcanic ash and rock, and frozen in time. By the end of Vesuvius’ massive eruption, more than 2,000 people had perished even though there had been sufficient time for everyone to flee.Read more…The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 2 of 3
As the residents of Herculaneum and Pompeii pursued their daily activities, a few wisps of smoke trickled from Vesuvius’ crater at approximately 10:00 AM.[27] It went unseen.Next, at about 12:00 noon a steady, unbroken plume of smoke suddenly rose 9 miles into the air from Mt.Read more…The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 3 of 3
As the eruption grew more violent, the earthquakes grew stronger as written by Pliny the Younger: “But that night the shaking grew much stronger; people thought it was an upheaval, not just a tremor. My mother burst into my room and I got up. I said she should rest, and I would rouse her (sc.Read more…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? Let’s take a look at a couple of facts.Read more…Accelerating Active Academic Research
All 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.If that time of new monies for funding of that particular research never come, often those working on the project will have moved onto other research and eventually the data is forgotten and the money already spent has been wasted or covered up or never available to future researchers. This is a shame and it is too bad that people cannot get partial credit for the work done up until that point and someone cannot pick up the research and take it from there.Read more…The Flat Cosmos
When the Earth was FlatThe ancient mariners believed that the earth was flat. This may seem silly to us now but their belief was based on observable fact. When they peered at the horizon it formed a straight line that seemed to stretch to infinity.Read more…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?Read more…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?Read more…Days of Darkness (AD 535-AD 546)
Each day, the morning sunrise is taken for granted. Based on the laws of science, it is expected that the sun will rise each day from east to west. Yet, the question must be asked, “what would happen if the sun didn’t rise?Read more…The Improved Ion Engine
When we have discussed using ion engines to propel space craft in the past, we have talked about an engine that used two plates and electrical currents to propel particles (ions) out the exhaust which has the effect of pushing the craft. The ion engine is an engine that slowly build up speed in space. When it reaches top speed it is one of our fastest, if not the fastest, propulsion unit available.Read more…LEDs ...The Technology That Will Soon Light Our Planet
With energy waste on the minds of many these days, high gasoline prices to run the inefficient engines that power our vehicles help move the majority of us to cut energy costs in as many areas as possible, some of us are even beginning to ration our lighting usage. Is there an answer to our increasing lighting costs? Granted, much of the cost is being passed on by the utility suppliers and with recent increases in oil prices, this amount is being noticeably felt in each of our monthly utility budgets.Read more…Ozone Misinformation 101: How to Keep Ozone Therapy and Smog Solutions from Coming to Market
What 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.Read more…Future Highways: Three Possible Futures for the Human Race
There 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. In this grouping of possibilities the present level of our civilization would be nothing more than a blip in history, receding in importance with the passage of time, probably acquiring the status of legend and myth, as did the Roman Empire throughout the subsequent dark ages.Read more…Searching For Gold Nuggets; New Ideas Yield New Prospective Areas
Gold and other precious metal alluvial nuggets often, if not generally, occur in areas where the relative size of the nuggets and possibly their origin cannot be traced to their original source. In these circumstances, neither transportation by water or eluvial weathering seems to be a logical explanation for these relative size differences.Many of the largest gold nuggets located have been found in areas where no similar sized gold particles could be found in outcrop.Read more…Traditional and Modern Food Biotechnology
With 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.Traditional and Modern Food Biotechnology:Food biotechnology is not a new concept.Read more…Travel Back In Time To The Ice Age - How To View A Galaxy
You 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.Read more…

- Hydrogen As a Fuel Source - By: Levi Quinn
From water to air, there are a number of ways to energize your car. Alternatives to petroleum are a hot topic today. The growing concern for the environment is steadily increasing. It's an important issue that many people want to feel personally connected to. Hydrogen as a fuel source is not an entirely new idea. But science is taking a closer look at the impact that using hydrogen could have on both the environment and the economy. The best solutions are the ones that have more benefits than drawbacks. - MRI and Ultrasound: Two Vital Branches of Radiology - By: R Govindan
Radiology was initially the branch of medical imaging that made use of x-rays on large flat sheets of photographic films for diagnosis. Modern day radiology is no longer confined to the practice of x-rays and now encompasses other methods of diagnostic imaging such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound. - Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects - By: Edi Bilimoria
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes.

What is Nanotechnology and how does it applies in the science world - In this article, we will review some of the uses of Nanotechnology and its connection to the solubilization process. - The Z-Boson Mass and its Formula as Multiple Proofs in One Bowl of Yummy Pudding - By: Sean Sheeter
A demonstration of the mathematical, theoretical and, especially, empirical connotations of the phrase "Pudding Proof" in the context of a highly exacting physical model. In particular, a formula is given deriving the mass of the Z-boson from two heavy quarks and and Higgs field. Remarkably, the precise correlation with the known value of the Z-mass is thus empirically proof positive of these far less directly measurable masses, which is further supported by arithmetic and theoretic construct. - The Theory, Significance and Precise Calculation of Gluino Mass - By: Sean Sheeter
A preview of the most significant predictable particle cascades at Cern's LH-Collider in the coming years. Describes how a precise gluino mass of 6.388355 TeV relates to the super-symmetric Higgs mechanism and decays to squarks and other 'sparticles as a prerequisite to creation of 'dark mass,' as well as the unsolved puzzle of material baryon creation. Which also goes on to shows why giving three dimensionless calculations for the gluino mass are central to the e-course "241-Mumbers." - Derivation of the Pure Precise Fine-Structure Number and as a Ratio of Two Inexact Metric Constants - By: Sean Sheeter
A history of a definitive answer to #1 'millennium question' of Strings 2000 in regard to whether all fundamental parameters can be determined in a dimensionless manner. Focus's on a 'pure' calculation of the fine-structure constant from a unified 'monolithic' system that allows precise equations for the full spectrum of fundamental particle masses from Higgs/SUSY to quarks, neutrinos and dark matter. With an update on controversies of determining the fine-structure from metric measures and a few other related issues. - Proof of the Exact Up and Down Quark Masses from the Pion Mass-Differential - By: Sean Sheeter
A discussion of the equivalence of the mass differential between the charged and neutral pion as a function the mass difference between the down and up quark. Given the unprecedented mass value of the down quark = 7.763258 MeV, the up quark mass is calculable from the even more exacting d-u mass differential = 4.593453 MeV, where the experimental pion mass difference = 4.5936 plusmn.0005 MeV.
