The Science Of

You've come a long way, baby. From humble beginnings, the Gorn are a terrifying threat in Strange New Worlds ... but how does the science stack up? We brought in Dr. Mohamed Noor to help explain how the Gorn aren't all that sci-fi... even the egg-spraying stuff. Star Trek

Gorn Baby Gorn: The Gorn in Star Trek - From Laughable to Chilling We look at the science of Star Trek's Gorn and compare them to what we have on Earth. They're not quite as sci-fi as you may think.

This is pretty awesome. Certainly will be appealed by Mr. Montgomery Burns and the like, but for now - it’s a sign for good things.

Judge Rules in Favor of Montana Youths in Landmark Climate Case The court found that young people have a constitutional right to a healthful environment and that regulators must be allowed to consider climate impact.

In the late '60s and through the mid-70s, Presto produced the Hot Dogger as a clever way to cook six hot dogs in about a minute. The idea was simple - stab the hot dogs on either prong, plug it into a 110/120v outlet, and let the current run through the circuit (with the hot dog acting as the load/resistor.

The hot dogs would often split along their sides, and it was known for making the hot dogs "sing" as the steam exited the hot dogs while they cooked.

It wasn't quite as dangerous as it looked - the lid HAS to be closed to operate - the electric connectors are near the handle.

Is there a better way to teach circuits and resistance to hungry high school physics students? I just bought two.

Putting the final touches on the presentation for NSTA Atlanta tomorrow morning.
