CALIFORNIA — Jay Famiglietti, a senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California said, “As our ‘wet’ season draws to a close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater […]

1,000th Exoplanet Discovery
NASA reports finding another Earth-like planet: NASA Kepler’s Hall of Fame: Of the more than 1,000 verified planets found by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, eight are less than twice Earth-size and in their stars’ habitable zone. All eight orbit stars cooler and smaller than our sun. The search continues for Earth-size habitable zone worlds around […]
Why Do Vegaterians Seem Brain Damaged?
By Daniel Brouse “Vegans eat only food of plant origin. Because animal products are the only food sources of vitamin B12, vegans must supplement their diets with a source of this vitamin.” — USDA Lack of B12 and amino acids results in neurological disorders. (eg Brain Damage) “Also, the vegan diet is a poor choice […]

Chaos Theory And Music
A creator wrote to the KingArthur.com research team: For my senior project, I wanted to see if one could use the Chaos Game to compose music, using the coordinates of notes on a 12-tone Matrix as it’s vertices, and then finding other ways of determining it’s magnification/compression factor, etc. Your ideas about the connection between […]
Turning Water Into Electricity
It is possible to turn water into electricity. Solar energy is one of the cleanest and cheapest ways to convert liquid H2O into steam. The energy in steam is 9 times greater than the energy in the same weight of boiling water. The math suggests that each gallon of evaporated water is equal to running […]

The Costs of Solar Energy
A lot of the environmental costs of solar depend on how the panels and batteries are produced, transported and disposed of… and most importantly how the energy is stored. As renewable energy grows, storage will become a greater problem. In general, we would be better off producing energy like the sun (fusion) than trying to […]
