Science

The following articles are those that are science-related in some manner. I like to include science articles because I see my role as a teacher to the young and easily bamboozled. Remember: a little bit of scientific knowledge never hurt anyone. Except Mr Hyde's victims of course. And all the other people hurt by science too. Obviously, except them.

      I like sci-fi but it appears that those who write a lot of it for television and the movies, quite frankly, don't.

      An adult who believes in Santa is locked up. An adult who believes in fairies is heavily medicated to keep them out of harm. An adult who believes in monsters under the stairs needs constant supervision. An adult who believes an invisible person snapped his fingers and made the world in six days a few thousand years ago is apparently perfectly justified in their beliefs somehow.

      Before he was a professor, before he even a mere doctor, and before he performed with D:Ream, Brian Cox was a child actor who appeared on TV and in print many times in the United Kingdom throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.

      Despite God's best attempts at designing the human body it, quite frankly, sucks big time and is riddled with flaws. One of the most common problems with the human body is the immune system which is supposed to protect the body from harmful substances and diseases but which also sporadically attacks itself in a dazzling display of incompetence.

      Is it possible that the various human races evolved from different types of apes or, indeed, different species altogether? Or is the person who thought this a complete moron?

      So ... what's the toughest material known to man? Is it Tupperware? No, it's not Tupperware. I know what you're thinking: it must be diamonds. But diamonds aren't so tough when you get to know them; they just have good PR from the South African mining cartels. No, actually, the answer is foam of the sort put on Space Shuttles. That stuff is lethal.

      Darwin got evolution spot-on - you got a problem with that then you take it up with Richard Dawkins my friend. Well, almost spot-on. Please don't hit me Mister Dawkins sir. You see, humans evolved not from apes as we've all been led to believe, but rather from bears. Oh yes.

      Where does rain come from? What is the water cycle? How does evaporation work? How much do clouds weigh? Why does it always rain on me? Any of those questions that don't feature as the title of a Travis dirge could very well feature in this scientific answering of rainclouds and the wetness they impart upon the surface of the Earth.

      You don't have to be a scientist to understand String Theory. I, for instance, am not a scientist and I understand String Theory perfectly clearly. I also know the secret about Planck's constant they have deemed 'too hot for TV'. Planck's constant will not be covered in this article but feel free to enwidify your brain store with this simple guide to understanding String Theory all the same.
