Beating the High Price of Gasoline with Biodiesel

With the price of traditional fuel rising faster everyday, people everywhere are looking for alternatives. Electric cars were once touted as the way to save the environment and beat the cost of gasoline, but they are so expensive that very few people can afford to save money by purchasing one.

Making Biodiesel For Fun and Savings

All of us have a little chemist in us that likes to come out and play. Experimenting with different concoctions is part of what makes cooking so much fun, but can you imagine a chemistry experiment that could end up saving you thousands of dollars on your gasoline bills?

Biodiesel and You

The idea of using an all natural biodegradable fuel source may seem a bit too science fiction or Hollywood for the average person.

Newly Revealed 3600-Year Old Wisdom Text Describes Extinction of the Dinosaurs

In recent years, scientists have begun to challenge the popular K-T extinction event theory advanced by Nobel laureate physicist, Luis Alvarez. In 1990, he found evidence of a large impact resulting in an Extinction Level Event (E.L.E) in what is now Chicxulub, Mexico. His theory that this E.L.E. wiped out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago was soon adopted. However, an increasing number of modern scientists are now casting doubts on his theory. Furthermore, a newly released 3600-year old wisdom text called The Kolbrin Bible supports these challenges to Alvarez's theory with a prescient human account.

National Weather Service Radars

The National Weather Service is responsible for keeping track of the weather patterns, trends and current conditions in the United States.

Apes or Gods?

We are about to experience a major paradigm shift based on a natural law which has yet to be fully understood but whose existence is demonstrable.

Cost Of DNA Testing

DNA testing centers provide service-oriented DNA analysis for determining biological relationships through DNA paternity testing, DNA genealogy and anthropology testing and sibling DNA testing, and other peripheral services like DNA banking and ID services and DNA detective testing services, among others.

Science Projects Should Be Fun and Informative

The key to a child's successful learning about science, or anything for that matter, is for the parents to do their part to guide, not drive.

Bull Sharks, It's Summertime
