Better to invest in LNG or diesel generators. Petroleum products are going to be cheap and plentiful for the foreseeable future.

Antipodal to what, Imbrium and Procellarum? I suppose. Though I don't see the relationship between the existence of farside magnetic fields and impacts on the nearside. High energy events tend to demagnetize rock, plus it has been several eons since Luna had an active magnetic field; probably...

There is no evidence for active volcanism at Chicxulub. The bolide struck a carbonate shelf creating a transient crater ~100km in diameter and ~35km deep, with a final diameter of ~185km x ~12km deep. The melt sheet is ~1.5km - ~3km thick; and as with all large impacts, ~half the volume of the...

Heed well the Lessons of Typhoid.

When it comes to addiction: There is no try. There is only do, or do not.

If you look at the magnetic signature of Mars you will note a spreading center (marked by reversals in Mars' magnetic field) was present prior to whatever event caused the Martian Crustal Dichotomy. http://jmars.asu.edu/download

Due to gold's density (specific gravity) you can place your ore in water and mix it well. Turn it into a slurry. All the gold will sink to the bottom. Check out some online videos on gold panning. Even lead weights and bullets will roll around in a pan of water. The gold sticks like it is...

Except to say, that from the standpoint of the photon, the trip across the Universe took zero time.

Both liquid and gaseous outflows will result from crustal ablation/removal. Injections of mafic material, formally semi-solid or plastic, into the created void. Consider, Earth's mantle contains twice the water content of Earth's oceans, not to mention teratons of dissolved CO2 and other...

The reason the mantle is plastic isn't because its temperature is below that necessary to melt rock; its plasticity is a result of the enormous pressure of the overlying formations containing it. One suggests that if the crust were suddenly removed (one does not suggest the mechanism), the...

The black body temperature of Earth is -18C. Water Vapor, methane, CO2 and the like conspire to trap some of the Solar radiation allowing the planet to actually be inhabitable by other than Walruses and Reindeer. Excess heat is radiated into space. The Earth is not a closed system.

Albinos have pink eyes, not blue.

CE apparently works for stationary polar ice caps. Replace your bowling balls with dust and ices. http://www.physorg.com/news195924542.html Great Red Spot, Batman

One CANNOT eat 'lots' of vegetables, on a low carb diet, and hope to lose weight. One cannot consume more than 60 carbs a day and hope to lose weight. In fact ~60 carbs a day is break even. One has to eat < 60 carbs a day. The diet starts off with 2 cups of lettuce and 1/4 cup of green beans (or...

Back in the day inner space referred to under the surface of the ocean.
