Chemical Safety
People use chemicals every day for a wide array of purposes, which can include work and house hold duties. Many of us fail to realize that we are actually handling potentially deadly chemicals when we simply clean the bathroom or wash the car. This brings to mind the reason why chemical safety is so important and why you should always use the chemicals that you own for their intended purpose only.Read more…Four Dimensional Space
In the 1920’s Edwin Hubble conceived a method of proving that our universe was expanding. This he did by measuring the frequency of light received on Earth from distant galaxies and concluded that objects in space are moving away from us. This is accomplished by measuring the spectra of certain known elements.Read more…Rationalizing Frequency Pollution Sciences and Academic Debates
Many 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.Problems for the heart, brain, nerves and even the cells themselves have been discussed and debated in academia, some studies funded by cell phone companies and communication corporations and others by healthcare interests.Read more…Why We Need A Four Dimension Atomic Model
Scientific 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.Read more…Naturally Occurring Nanoparticles: The Hidden Dimension
In the contemporary world of chemistry, the use of words such as nanoparticle, cluster, bulk metal size, and nucleation is fairly commonplace in a diversity of research and industrial applications. The implication is the existence of a physiochemical dimension where the “solid particles” are so small that they no longer possess all or any of the properties of the signature periodic element, but distinctly different and potentially useful properties. Consequently, these minute particles require new and often unique methods of detection and structural determination.Read more…Sun Sational Energy
The 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.The American Solar Energy Society publishes a bi-monthly magazine that has won a number of awards.Read more…Getting Started: Basic Questions About Evolution
Evolution is a subject about which many people have firm opinions, whether based on facts, hype, or poor resource materials. As a starting point for this book, I shall present a set of “FAQs” or “Frequently Asked Questions.” Brief answers follow, with the reader being directed to other chapters for more detailed explanations.Read more…Amazing New Hubble Pics
New 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 of the VLT (Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Cerro Paranal.Read more…Sundials: Do they Really Tell Time?
Sundial HistorySundials have been around since the days of the Sumerians, some five thousand years ago, and were the earliest known means of keeping time. The first sundials were probably just rods or sticks pounded into the ground, and the shadows cast by those vertical rods (called a gnomon) allowed ancient people to know what time of day it was.The Greeks and Romans took the basic concept and refined it, using various different shapes of dials to not only tell the time of day, but also what time of year it was by the shadow cast by the gnomon into a cleverly designed bowl.Read more…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;“Can Hurricane tidal storm surges cause Earthquakes too?Read more…Solar Flares Affect The Earth, Atmosphere and Perhaps Human Behavior Too
Solar 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;“Could the sunspot activity have had anything to do with the recent Cyclones and Hurricanes?Read more…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? Interesting concept indeed; but is it coincidence or is there a connection?Read more…Chemistry Course Got You Down? Here's Hope
If you're struggling through high school 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.Peter Agre discovered aquaporins, a breakthrough that could eventually lead to a cure for diseases such as cataracts or kidney damage.Read more…What is Biotechnology
The 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 OECD (the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) defines biotechnology as “…the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents". Thus, “Biotechnology” basically means using biology as the basis for a technology that is applied to research and product development in areas such as agriculture, food science, and medicine.Read more…The Myth of Human Evolution
Our solar system hurtles through the universe, spinning and turning with the precision and timing of a fine watch. The biosphere of our planet is perfect, able to forever sustain all life in perfect balance and harmony while requiring the addition of nothing other than sunlight. The ‘simplest’ form of life is represented by a one-celled bacteria, acknowledged to be many times more complex than the most complex thing ever created by man.Read more…The Science of Forensic Investigation
The 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.Read more…Reversing Mother Nature, Part One
“Blossom” is what underground uranium miners called the crystals forming on the tunnel walls. Because the ore was in contact with air inside an underground mine, and as ground water moved slowly against the mine’s walls, a visible crust of uranium crystals would precipitate, or blossom along those walls. Making the uranium soluble doesn’t require a lot of oxygen and water because oxidization is a natural process.Read more…Plato and Quantum Physics (Part 1)
Plato (427 – 347 BC) is perhaps the most famous Greek philosopher in as much as many of his ideas are as relevant today as they were in his time. Incidentally,he is one of the few great men who are known only by their nicknames. His real name was Aristocles.Read more…Plato and Quantum Physics (Part 2)
In part 1 of this article we discussed the role of the observer in determining the outcome of measurement or observation, which was the main point of the quoted Plato’s statement. We also mentioned how the mathematical formulation of quantum physics presented some serious difficulty in as much as it came up with results that seemed absurd. A well-known example is the paradox known as Schrodinger’s cat.Read more…"God Does Not Play Dice (with the Universe)"
This is the famous quip by Einstein often quoted in the literature. By itself, taken out of context it is difficult to see its meaning. Actually this line was a part of a letter written by Einstein to Max Born to express his dissatisfaction with Quantum Theory.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.
