Understanding Why and How It Rains, Snows, Sleets, Or Hails

My family has a summer home on Cape Cod near the Cape Cod Canal. It's amazing to watch a storm heading in from the mainland. When it hits the air over the canal which is always different, it can turn snow to rain and stuff like that. Fascinating ...

Who or What Made Them?

Yes! God simply exists, I agree. No creator of God. I just worded it that way to parallel "did man create God." Although perhaps one can say that God the Creator did not exist until God started creating, so in that sense God "created" the ...

Getting Through a Power Outage

I am okay with no power in the summer, but in the winter I'm afraid of the house freezing. We have lots of fireplaces, but our house is old and drafty.

Pluto Is Having Its Secrets Revealed

Seems a pity that Pluto had to lose its status as a "real" planet. But it's exciting that New Horizons was already on course to investigate it, so now we can learn a lot more about it - a dwarf planet is still worth knowing about!

Who or What Made Them?

You ask some deep questions. Understand, time exists in the universe, but ceases in a detached singularity like a black hole, so trying to prove or disprove Cod before the Big Bang, which is also an uncertainty, is not within our ability to do. ...

The Foxglove Plant: Facts and Care for This Garden Beauty

Excellent photography. These appear to be around one house, so they were probably done at one time.

Loch Ness: new thinking about the monster

I think those boatmen on Lough Corrib and Loch Ness know those waters, tides, currents, swells and channels better than anyone. I would rather believe them than any geographer or geologist. All I can say is that the Lough Corrib eel I saw must ...

Loch Ness: new thinking about the monster

Quote from catfishing-uk..."The wels catfish will eat anything alive or dead that it can stuff into its very large mouth." This means that it would be able to take full advantage of the biomass available in the loch.

Sheldon Cooper Clock Explanation - what does 0b mean in 11?

Hi Candy. Your comment gave me a chuckle. My situation on the lizard Spock is the same as you - Sheldon can explain it to us, but he can't make it understand for us. :)

Loch Ness: new thinking about the monster

Slight correction. Maxwell reported the sighting by a friend. Having researched the tale it seems to me that the Maxwell sighting, in the Hebrides, was a frilled shark, a rare beast which has sometimes been thought to be one of the origins of ...
