Meteorite Collision simulation.
From the folks that brought us Godzilla comes the ultimate Disaster bummer.

“When a meteorite collides with the earth” We tried to find the answers: Simulation Experiment. The diameter of the meteorite is slightly bigger than the breadth of Honshu Japan. The collision point is located at the 3,000km south from Japan in the ocean. The velocity of the meteorite is 70,000km/h. But the meteorite is bigger than we can imagine, so that it appears much slower. The earth’s crust of 10km in thickness where ground in the earth is composed is wholly peeled off. This is called,”Earth’s crust tidal wave”. There is 1km width of the rock, and it flies to the sky it by the impact. Continue reading “Meteorite Collision simulation”

Water power

YouTube – Water power

This Fox News video has been circulating around the Internet. This pressurized electrolysis was fathered by Russian Scientist Kanarev Many scams have developed in the race for the new energy holy-grail to end the hydrocarbon age. Time will tell if Hydrogen Technologies Applications in Clearwater, Fla. really has something revolutionary. Tom Friedman has recently pointed out that American ingenuity will win out over giant government programs in the new energy source quest. “Necessity is the mother of invention” and here are some of them. What we don’t see are the huge research funds that mega-corporations have also been pumping into their efforts, but are kept under wraps to prevent industrial espionage.

In the meantime, while the price will rise from processing less-desireable grades of hydrocarbons, we won’t run out of supplies anytime soon. Industry consultant and author of “The Prize”, Daniel Yergin is dismissive: “This is the fifth time we’ve run out of oil since the 1880s”. Alberta is home to vast deposits of oil sands, grit mixed with oil. These are more difficult and costly to refine than conventional liquid crude. However, already in 2002, 178bn barrels of reserves from oil sands were added to Canada’s reserves, leaving them second only to Saudi Arabia’s.

In April, Venezuela announced that it was adding a significant chunk of its heavy oil – another largely untapped source that remained unexploited until relatively recently– to its reserves. These will allow its reserves to surpass those of Saudi Arabia, with enough oil to maintain its current production for another two centuries. Heavy oil already accounts for roughly a quarter of its output.

Disagreeing is James Howard Kunstler, the flamethrowing author of The Long Emergency. Still, the sooner that the hydrocarbon age ends, the better for the environment.

NOAA Ocean Explorer: Submarine Ring of Fire 2006
The 2006 Submarine Ring of Fire expedition is the third in a series of explorations of the submarine volcanoes lying along the Mariana Arc, extending from south of the island of Guam northward more than 800 nautical miles (1450 km). We discovered some amazing places in 2004, including an erupting volcano (NW Rota-1), liquid CO2 venting (NW Eifuku), the shallowest yet discovered “black smoker” chimneys (East Diamante) Click on the link for links to their videos.

9/11 Loose Change, Michael Moore and the Convenience of Conspirancy

The Observer | Review | Chaos and cock-up always trump conspiracy
Alongside Hurricane Katrina, the tragedy of 9/11 is providing fertile ground for conspiracy theorists and the film industry. But this should hardly be surprising, says Mark Kermode. After all, conspiracies are comforting.

A worrying number of people still believe that the Apollo missions were faked.

Most of what the public knows about the Kennedy assassination is based on a string of excitably dramatic movies, from David Miller’s Executive Action (1973) to Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991), which viewers have mistaken for verifiable truth. (Debunked here)
In his new Movie on Katrina, Spike Lee will present that the levees were deliberately detonated, by the government.

In the ongoing tradition, the video 9/11 Loose Change helped force the release of another Pentagon tape of the Pentagon crash (Click on picture to view). The film appears especially popular among young people immersed in a Web culture brimming with sites that question the credibility of government. They see 9/11 as the defining moment of their lives.

A quick search of Wikipedia, produces a slew of carefully researched debunkings including a scene-by-scene Word document and whole web-site (9/11 Myths) devoted to different theories. The Loose Change Web-site tries to counter “the Government did it”arguments. The majority of the Muslim world blames the jews for 9/11 . Andyou can still see Fahrenheit 9/11 to add to your paranoid. But few will take the time to read the patient research. Instead we will be passively entertained by videos.

Conservative writer David Horowitz, a former 1960s radical, says conspiratorial thinking can offer a world view that is somehow less scary than reality. “Conspiracy theories are a kind of secular religion,” he says, adding that campus faculties sometimes encourage anti-government feelings. “People feel great anxiety … by the thought that nobody’s in control.”

People believe in conspiracy theories because the truth “is either too simple or too remote,” says sociologist Clifton Bryant of Virginia Tech University, who has made a study of “deviant logic” and behavior.

“We’re always ready to believe something about which we know nothing,” he says.”

Update –majority of young people believe conspiracy theory. Thanks Daily Show & the Internet?
