Rocky Mountain Trip
Frank, we did get to see much nice scenery. It is also important to handle obligations. We cannot take a vacation from religion, as you appear to be well aware.

I've never seen the Rocky Mountains and it looks as if you had a great time with decent weather, although sounds like it was cold!

You got much out of a short trip. It is good that you took the time to attend mass while on holiday.

Dark matter should be possible to convert to energy, since it is matter. We have two possibilities, weakly interacting miniature particles, (WIMPS) or large black hole type objects (MACHOS). WIMPS are the leading candidate. There is more dark ...

If dark matter is truly a form of matter, but dark energy is something else, can Einstein's
equation of matter and energy expressed in E=mc squared survive unmodified? Could dark matter be convertible into energy as normal ...

No, but we currently have an unknown energy called dark energy that physics cannot explain. It does not fit any known form of energy.

Energy Conservation: Human Indifferences and the Consequences
Yes, it is the little things that are important. I have even seen signs on the highways operated by solar power.

When I was in my teens I read quite a lot on Geology. We share an interest.

Energy Conservation: Human Indifferences and the Consequences
I especially liked your comment about automatic doors. Little things like that or like solar-powered lamps in gardens can make a difference. I recently saw one such lamp on a billboard ad. It cost only $5. So many buildings which are illuminated ...

Saving the Soil
Another very interesting article from you. I am so thankful for Wizzley. I only grow plants in flower pots but I love learning about soil and geology. It all started with 2 great geology classes in college. I've always wanted to take more ...

Have you ever studied the Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin, whose view of nature involved postulating a spiritual energy called radiant energy?He wrote several books,including The Phenomenon of Man.

Good point. I would not rule out spiritual energy.
