What is Science?

Students often ask; “What exactly is science?” Professors explain by discussing theories, proofs, laws of physics, observations, duplication of results, etc.. Professors often pull rank on students when they argue a point with the professor on extending the professors definition of science.

Killing Hurricanes

Can mankind take-out a Hurricane? Today the answer is probably no, perhaps in the future we maybe able to. It appears it maybe easier to start a Hurricane and let it build on its own than to stop a full-fledged Hurricane. And Hurricanes do come in many sizes and stages two.

Flexible Concrete for Space Applications

The newest flexible concrete technologies seem to have incredible attributes for all sorts of uses here on Earth. For instance freeways, toll-ways, roads and highways making them less bumpy, which means they will be more safe, less scalloped and that means better gas mileage as well. How about for the decks of ships or aircraft carriers?

Carbon Nano Tube Sheets for Sea World

Carbon Nanotubes will be incredibly strong and transparent; there are many possible uses for them such as military cockpit canopies, bulletproof glass or car windshields. Glass weighs a lot, especially in an SUV with glass all around, that could be as much as 700 pounds? If you can reduce that much weight in a car you could get an extra two miles to the gallon.

The History of Wind Generated Power

Rising energy costs have many consumers searching for alternative fuels. Here is a history of one such source... wind power.

Necessary Technology for Sustained Lunar Colonies

New technology must be constructed in order to make the dream on living on the moon a reality. The five key inventions suggested by Astronaut Young, in my opinion are: Surface Exploration Pressure Suits, Heavy Lift, Fast Heavy Lift, Reliable Uninterruptible Power, and Terraforming with 100% recycling.

The Inaccurate View of Science

Offering an alternative method of viewing science and our understanding of knowledge.

Earthquake Structure Warning Lights for Infrastructure

For those who live in Earthquake ridden California they know that Earthquakes are completely disruptive to our civilization. On a personal level they can be a pure hell, with water mains broken, buildings crumbled and no power for weeks. As if that is not enough there can be aftershocks for months after a large quake, often only one point or so less than the original.

FedEx Reducing Costs of the Memphis Sort

Busy is a word few of us understand, some say the old Grand Central Station was busy, yet until you have been to the FedEX Midnight Sort, you really have no clue as to what busy can really be.

Weather Forecast Botched

Have you ever watched the weather forecast and planned your weekend around it? Only to find out it was totally botched? You find this happening enough that you simply do not trust the weatherman or woman any more?

Ethnicity Testing: Where Has Your DNA Been?

A widely held assumption says that DNA’s journey started in Africa over 150-thousand years ago. Where has your DNA been since then?

Fooling Geo Spatial Spy Satellites

With the Chinese advances in space technologies and now having put yet another astronaut into space, it appears that the Chinese are well on their way to advancing their space program for another Space Race. Against who; well, it will be a race against the United States and the ISS with the Russian and American teams.

Earth Lighting for Alaska Construction Projects

Alaska is dark most all the time for parts of the year. This makes it tough to build infrastructure and large construction projects. Projects that are vital to our nations energy needs and resources.
