Maybe some other chemistry teachers here can help me out. As part of the electrochemistry course my students are doing I want to show the ability to light a small (2.2V, .25A) lightbulb using an electrochemical cell. This *should* be possible, after all, its just a battery. Using copper in 0.1M...

This is a small program I wrote to compile web resources I have read in the past. Feel free to add on and improve it any way you desire as long as you repost it. You can ask me questions about it as well because I don't comment my programming. Please don't be too rude about my programming. I...

So this semester I have a project with a fellow student and a professor where the theme is sonoluminescence. We're using the "recipe" found at http://techmind.org/sl/ and so far we've got some results (bubbles moving around). I was just wondering if anybody here has any experience with this kind...

I have a class of students who are going to be doing a report task starting from the end of this term and finishing late May. It's primarily an English task but will draw upon the resources of the Science Dept (including a fabulous teacher who has offered some of her free time in class and out...

I sent away for the $100 kit to participate in the Genographic Project sponsored by National Geographic and IBM. This is the genetic project that analyzes the Y-chromosome of male participants to determine their haplogroup, which in turn identifies the participant's ancestrial migration route. I...

Is anyone familiar with the 'Zenon project'?: http://www.magicktv.org/magick_tv_copy(9).htm This guy states he hopes to claim the JREF $1 million on this video. I found it in a recent press release here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/11/prweb314373.htm He's doing an interactive...

Okay. This has to be a joke. It doesn't show, but it has to be. I mean: They also say that they chose Pterosaurs because the alternatives presented, er, some problems. Just when you think you've seen it all...

Has anyone here heard of The Gentle Wind Project? They offer products such as these cards: As far as I can tell you are supposed to hold them in your hands and they provide some kind of magical healing that "comes from the Spirit World, not the human world": These products are...

The Global Consciousness Project Index is a real time data analysis of the Global Consciousness Project. It collects the data each minute and runs statistics on the stream of random numbers. It displays different colors for different percentages of coherence in the random numbers. The color is...

According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4071192.stm "Neuroscientists are to build the most detailed model of the human brain with the help of an IBM supercomputer. " It may be possible for someone who believes in the existence of a soul to be comfortable with this experiment. However...

For a class I am taking (it is called "Testing Psychic Claims") at UC Davis I am doing a group project on the "mass consciousness" effect, similar to what the Global Consciousness Project does (I'm sure you are familiar with them). I'd like to describe the experiment we are going to perform...

I ran across this article and vaguely recalled GCP from a few years back. It looked like this would be the Forum to add this to even if it is in the realm of pseudo-science. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject? http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=126649#

First, greetings, I'm new around here, yada yada yada. http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=126649#121 I'm not sure of the normal level of credulity at rednova.com, but this is absurd. These people remind me of the Bible Code kooks. Unfortunately, my background is in astrophysics, not the...

Greetings I am soliciting skeptical comments about this website. http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ Supposedly random number generators aren't random during periods of strong emotion or something. It says that events such as 9/11 have a physical and mesurable effect. It seems like science. I...

Is this real? I can't find anything that isn't a wikipedia mirror or a conspiracy websites. there seem to be claims it's linked to project MK delta which throws up links which are even stranger.

A Buffalo (SUNY) university art professor, Steven Kurtz, was hauled in front of a Federal Grand jury because bacterial cultures and DNA amplification equipment were found in his home by paramedics who were called to help his wife who suddenly stopped breathing and died back in May. Kurtz said...

I am looking to do a bunch of creations that consist of taking old technology and forming it into something new. Ideas in the past consist of: - having a real to real tape deck on top of a ladder and endless amounts magnetic tape, and the tape deck would bring the magnetic tape through and it...

One of my UFO-oriented friends sent me the following: It is amazing what these conspiracy theorists can come up with! I especially love the statement " the American government has the knowledge of some 72 different species, who have visited earth". I wonder why they should keep it secret at...

First of all here is the official website of The Jesus Project. http://www.jesusproject.com/ The notion is that there is an "Historical Jesus" apart from what Christianity has been saying all through the years, and that this is...
