I saw a(n) UFO!   by K.A.Cassimally


It all happened at the beach, few months ago. My uncles, my dad and myself were in a conversation, which quite amazingly resulted in talking about Mars. Being the family?s astronomy expert, I pointed to the red dot in the sky. My uncles looked up and laughed afterwards.

?Just because we?re nuts in astronomy, doesn?t mean we are idiots!?

Well they were idiots in this particular  ... continue


How strange! The sky is blue!   by K.A.Cassimally


Look up! Just do it. What do you see? Stupid question, eh? You see the ceiling of course. When you look upwards during a sunny day while picnicking however, you see the blue sky. Ever wondered why the sky is not green nor but blue?

Before answering this question, let?s go back to the basic physics of light. Sorry, but here I go?

Light is a kind of energy, which travels in wave  ... continue

Longevity - Can Fat Cells Dictate How Long a Human Survives?   by C Bailey-Lloyd/Lady Camelot


According to the September Issue of Popular Mechanics, a report written by Jim Wilson explains how human beings may some day have the capability to survive to be 180 (one hundred eighty) years old!

Based on research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(http://web.mit.edu/biology/www/facultyareas/facresearch/guarente.shtml) and Professor Leonard P. Guarante; genetic makeup  ... continue


Making Space for Sacred Space   by Stephanie Yeh


MAKING SPACE for Sacred Space
==================================================
When you read a great inspirational book, prayer, or article,
don`t you think to yourself, `What a great idea! I should do more
daily rituals, prayer, meditation.`? It always seems like a great
idea, right? We know that sacred practices and sacred space
bring peace, harmony, joy, and ease   ... continue


POSTCARD FROM A PERPLEXING PLANET   by Theolonius McTavish

Seeking a spot of serenity somewhere in the universe, I recently booked a deep-discount dodgy berth on the ?White Elephant Express Space Shuttle?, to a little known place in a galaxy far, far away.

Subtle Energy for Healing; The Work of Dr. Yury Kronn   by Boyd Martin


In 1933 came the first hint that something was horribly wrong with Modern Physics` view of the universe. The galaxies and star clusters were moving away from each other, and doing it in ways that just couldn`t be possible given the basic assumptions of science at the time. From that day forward, scientists have been baffled and befuddled as the view of reality continued to depart from the m  ... continue

Cooling Down by Evaporating   by Thomas Yoon


Evaporator coils of air conditioning systems are sometimes called
cooling coils. But cooling coils are also used in air-handling
units. These contain chilled water. These are completely different
from those used in direct expansion air cond units.

So cooling coils is not an accurate word to use in small air cond
units. Evaporator coils should be used instead. Evapora  ... continue


Expansion for Heat Absorption   by Thomas Yoon


In the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant must undergo a change
in state in order for the heat to be absorbed from the environment.

The refrigerant has the property of changing its state from liquid
to vapor at normal room temperatures.

Have you ever felt your skin becoming cool whenever you put alcohol
on it? Or even when a bit of petrol spilled onto your hand  ... continue


Explosive Air   by Thomas Yoon


Have you considered your air compressor as a potential bomb?

If you have not, then you better!

Although air compressors are built to withstand high pressures,
and will have all the necessary relief valves to take care of
normal occurring overpressures, explosion involving fire
propagation is another matter.

How can a fire occur in an air compressor?

Keltic Seafaring   by Robert Bruce Baird


Many academics are unable to handle the possibility of ships that travelled the oceans as long ago as the Franchithi Caves dig that showed 13,000 B.C. community fishing fleets. It even was hard for most to accept the Kelts at the time of Caesar had this technology at that time despite the words of Caesar. Some people think knowledge once gained is never lost but that is far from true. Barr  ... continue


Why Condition Your Boiler Water?   by Thomas Yoon


A boiler is used for generating steam. It does this by heating
water to its boiling point, after which steam will evaporate
from it.

When you boil a kettle of water, you will shut off the fire
or electric power when the water comes to a boil.

No so with a steam boiler. Generation of steam is a continuous
process. Once a boiler is generating steam, it may take  ... continue


Get Hot on Combustion!   by Thomas Yoon


Energy in the form of heat is obtained when fuel is burnt in air. The release of this heat energy can be slow or can be very rapid.

When fuel oil is sprayed as a fine mist in the boiler burners, it is able to burn at a relatively slow rate. When fuel is sprayed into the cylinders of diesel engines, the fuel burns in such a rapid rate that explosions occur. Fortunately, these explosi  ... continue


Quotes to Think About   by Robert Bruce Baird


INSPIRATIONAL COMMENTS:

?There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance ? that principle is contempt prior to investigation. ? Herbert Spencer?

Albert Einstein - `We are seeking for the simplest possible scheme of thought that will bind together the observed facts.`  ... continue


Evolution and Exorcisms   by Robert Bruce Baird


EVOLUTION: More surprising to me as I consider where my intellectual head-space has been on this issue, which is central to theological ideal; is the fact that I have become more of a creationist. Skeptics may say that God doesn`t exist and I am inclined to agree he/she isn`t within our purview to limit and say we know; HIM, or even what it is that really goes on, in the world about us. It   ... continue


Love is in the air-Science too!   by K.A.Cassimally


Ah? love! What a wonderful thing. The meaning of life itself, isn?t it? Artists, poets and play writers have made the greatest progress in humanity?s understanding of love. So what?s love doing in a science column? Well lately scientists have managed to get themselves included in the restricted group of love-explainers.

Scientists now think that love is nothing else but a series of c  ... continue


Shedding Some Light on Laser Hair Graft   by Maggie Kay


We?ve all heard about laser hair removal but did you know that lasers are used in hair transplant procedures as well?

The Food and Drug Administration approved laser hair grafting in the 1990s and it soon became a popular method of hair transplantation.

Lasers are used to create tiny holes into which hair follicles are transplanted. Healing is faster and there is no scarring a  ... continue
