OH BOB...


Here's a cosmic dance for you.

Earth and Jupiter this time.

Did ya hear about the guy who decided to just redirect the Colorado river and formed the Salton Sea? (I posted about it once, after flying over it).

I'm still fascinated by the oxygenation of the earth and the effect of the moon on its rotation allowing for a long enough day in order for the bacteria to have enough time to produce enough oxygen...

Predation is energy changing form. Life on earth is a very dynamic cycle of energetic transformation.

The moon's formation as described in the video could happen in other solar systems. There need...

This one is about the moon's influence on earth and its oxygenation.

I never liked Bill Gates in the eighties/nineties, etc. I always hated Windows because it always operated like crap, in my experience.

For instance, I used a microsoft program to be able to type...

Bonobos make love, not war. (lots of STDs unfortunately)

BOB, you are educating me on Neanderthals. I have a friend who brags about his Neanderthal DNA. :ttr:

I used to subscribe. My favorite regular was 50, 100, 150 years ago. I think it's now up to 200.

I also have some books they published as a series about three decades ago. One is The Cell. We...

Warp drive anyone? Never give up. Never surrender.

I wonder whether humans really wouldn't venture into badlands. Animals can live in quite harsh environments. They carve out their niche. Humans, being so inventive, are extra good at survival,...

Biodiversity means a strong ecosystem which can withstand stress from weather, disease, etc.

Biodiversity matters even in our own bodies. We want healthy colonies of good flora for our digestion,...

A particle trapped by an invisible laser and illuminated by another laser. That's wild. Why is the first laser invisible? (I feel like I should know)

I can't decide if Kyle, who we see at the end of the video, is about to go surfing or bear-hunting. ;)

Aw, man. Does that mean I have to stop building the accelerator in my basement?

"Angels are growing in a flower pot at your door." What a great phrase.

That was a funny one.

Shiny. The story calls to mind something I heard Neal DeGrasse Tyson say. If there is intelligent life, who's to say they wouldn't blow right past us, like we walk right past ants. We don't try to...

Plants have a kind of intelligence that is difficult for humans to understand. We have a lot of hubris. Most of my life contained the phrase, "Life just can't survive there," followed by the...

The chlorophyll is all like, "My tail's longer than yours". And Hemoglobin's like, "Yeah, well I have a gate that opens and closes."

They're a pair, like male and female.
