How Do Insects Really Fly

For centuries many scientists and thinkers have tried to figure out how insects fly. They are quite maneuverable and many do quite well considering the controls on an aircraft. Recently in the study of swarms the question has been raised; when a whole bunch of insects get together in a swarm

What are black holes? And how are they formed?

Silk - A Hard Job For Everyone

A lot of effort on the part of the silkworm goes into making a very small amount of silk. We examine what it takes to create just 1 kg of raw silk. The stats may astound you.

Types Of Telescopes For Astronomy

An overview of telescope type used in amatuer astronomy. We explore the advantages of different types of scopes such as refractors, newtonian reflectors and CAT's.

Methane and Potential Impacts on Global Warming

Methane is a gas found on most planets with atmospheres. In limited amounts, it isn't a particularly problematic gas. In larger amounts, however, it can become a regulator of atmosphere temperatures.

Academic BS and Purveyors of Potential Future Theories?
