Are Earth’s Formation Theories Wrong?

The question is, “Are Earth’s Formation Theories Wrong?

I read an article recently about how the accepted Earth formation theories by Scientists could now be wrong.

Researchers had made further experiments and found there to be a miscalculation in the composition of our planet’s core and mantle.

So, if this is the case, how many other miscalculations has there been over the centuries?

Should we trust Scientists to understand or even know the answers?

Basically, we’re all to blame.

We trust in words written by those with letters after their names. We often forget that our first thought is usually the correct one, and so it’s easily dismissed if not in print, or written by theorists.

But I may have a solution.

Why don’t the Researchers and Scientists contact the Scientists at SLAC’s National Accelerator Laboratory?

I read an article that claimed that they had an optical laser that uses shock-waves to create high pressure in materials that can capture the response by an ultra-bright X ray laser.

If this was modified to suit Earth’s surface conditions without killing us all, then I’m sure the Researchers and Scientists could reveal what’s going on inside our planet and be better able to calculate what our planet’s core was really made up of.

Then we can re-write the science books like we do our history books.

But hey, I’m no scientist, what do you think?

Sharing a Shell

I read the children’s picture book last week called, ‘Sharing a Shell.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson, and is beautifully illustrated by Julia Monks.

This colorful children’s picture book is about a crab without a shell.

Without a shell, crab’s an easy target.

Chased by a bird, crab quickly finds an empty shell, then stays in a rock pool.

Happy that he has his own home he’s surprised to find an anemone attached to it, but then when a bristle worm wants gets inside the shell too he has a dilemma, what should he do?

Should he kick them out of his shell or see what they can do?

What do you think?

A great book that explains how some crabs live, and what an anemone and a bristle worm can do.

It’s educational and colorful, young children will surely enjoy it.

So, why not read it or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Why Is There A Super Computer In Space?

The question is, “Why Is There A Super Computer In Space?”

I read an article that stated SpaceX’s unmanned Dragon cargo vessel successfully delivered the first super-computer to the International Space Station.

This is a great achievement.

All they have to do now is wait and see if this super-computer can survive the harsh conditions of space.

Just think what the future holds for mankind. It could be used to navigate future space missions.

But, what if this super-computer fell into the wrong hands?

For example, if an alien species learnt of it, then invaded the International Space Station, what then?

With its vantage point in space Earth will surely be at risk don’t you think?

But hey, I’m no astronaut it’s just a thought.

What do you think?

Commotion in the Ocean

I read the children’s picture book called, ‘Commotion in the Ocean,’ a few days ago.

This children’s book was written by Giles Andrea.

It’s beautifully illustrated by David Wojtowycz.

This colorful rhyming picture book shows lots of different creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean.

On each page, not only is a creature shown but there is also a little rhyme.

I found some of the rhymes humorous, short, quirky and maybe a little scary.

It’s a great book with lots of creatures that the children can easily name that they’ll enjoy.

So, why not read it or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Mosquitoes Exterminating Mankind?

The question is, “Are Mosquitoes Exterminating Mankind?”

The dreaded mosquitoes rule our world.

The female killers attracted by human breath and body odour sucks blood from a human body for the development of their eggs, as without regular intakes of blood their ability to reproduce, quickly diminish.

They’re so smart that they can detect carbon dioxide which humans and other animals produce, it’s a signal to the mosquitoes that a blood meal is near.

More deaths are associated with mosquitoes as they carry a number of deadly diseases, malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and encephalitis. They also carry heart-worm which can be lethal to your dog.

Without a way to prevent the female sucking blood and spreading disease, mosquitoes will exterminate mankind!

We’ve tried the sprays, chemicals and the lotions and with them now becoming immune to DEET, without another method to prevent being eaten alive by these minute predator’s it could be the end of the human race.

One solution is to create a scent that can neutralize the carbon dioxide and body odour that our bodies give off, for once the females mosquitoes stop sucking our blood they will become infertile and this will break the cycle.

It sounds simple enough, right?

But hey, I’m no scientist, it’s just a theory.

What do you think?

Pig The Fibber

I read the children’s book called, ‘Pig The Fibber.’

This children’s book was written and beautifully illustrated by Aaron Blabey.

This delightful children’s book tells the tale of a very naughty pug dog called Pig that lives with Trevor a trustworthy sausage dog.

Pig always tells fibs and blames Trevor the sausage dog for all the naughty things that he does, so, when their owner puts poor Trevor outside to chastise him, Pig seizes his chance to grab some dog biscuits.

However, Pigs plan backfires and their owner finds out the true culprit.

To find out what happened next why not read the book or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

This children’s book has great illustrations and is very witty, all children will like it.

It encourages you to always tell the truth, and also teaches us that telling lies can get you into more trouble, so don’t do it!

So, remember don’t be a fibber like Pig, be like Trevor who is always truthful and kind.
