Top 10 Incredible Ocean Phenomena

on 2013/12/10 in Articles, Environment

Oceans are such vast and often overwhelming subjects. Because of their sheer scope in size, the discussions that are often had regarding seas and different discoveries within it, can be both mind boggling and intriguing. There are enormous mysteries in the depths of the oceans. While some of these phenomena have been explained by analysts and experts, there are still some interesting occurrences underwater that can’t really be rationalized. Sailors from all around the world have witnessed and experienced a variety of incredible ocean phenomena. Below is a list of the top 10.

This Exoplanet Is Turning Planetary Formation Scenarios Upside Down

on in Articles, Astronomy

What the heck is that giant exoplanet doing so far away from its star? Astronomers are still trying to figure out the curious case of HD 106906 b, a newly found gas giant that orbits at an astounding 650 astronomical units or Earth-sun distances from its host star. For comparison, that’s more than 20 times farther from its star than Neptune is from the sun.

Where Does Gravity Come From?

on 2013/12/08 in Articles, Physics

Gravity. The average person probably doesn’t think about it on a daily basis, but yet gravity affects our every move. Because of gravity, we fall down (not up), objects crash to the floor, and we don’t go flying off into space when we jump in the air. The old adage, “everything that goes up must come down” makes perfect sense to everyone because from the day we are born, we are seemingly bound to Earth’s surface due to this all-pervasive invisible force.

Could Particle ‘Spooky Action’ Define The Nature Of Gravity?

on in Articles, Physics

Quantum physics is a fascinating yet complicated subject to understand, and one of the things that freaks out physics students every is the concept of entanglement. That occurs when physicists attempt to measure the state of a particle and that affects the state of another particle instantly. (In reality, the particles are in multiple states — spinning in multiple directions, for example — and can only be said to be in one state or another when they are measured.)
