Not much to show for 22 million, wondering if this death had anything to do with their scrimpy science disclosure.

Way back when, some poor kid figured that maybe if he rubbed a wax candle over his porous wooden ski's that they may stay dry and discovered this waxing, even tho wax is not slippery allowed him to go faster!
So even after many years and no more porous ski's, wax is still applied to achieve speed. My science explains this as the AURA of WAX repelling the AURA of WATER eliminating friction.
Old untrue science explains ice skating as friction melting ice bla, bla, bla when really it's as simple as AURA of ice repelling AURA of Metal limiting friction.
Gad, we will now have them waxing up their skates!

I use pure bees wax and always wax up. When I first started experimenting I would just wax one skate and would notice slightly more smoothness on that waxed skate.
HONEYCOMB
By chewing pollen the bee produces a glob of wax. Immediately after the placement, the saliva or water of the glob interacts in repelling the wax away from the glob’s nucleus.
The wax takes on the shape produced from the three nuclei orbits of the water nucleus. What is called evaporation leaves an empty six pole or six sided wax structure.

Recently the TV show Daily Planet had a segment on the relationship of the ice and the skate blade of a speed skater. It is a secret till June but they did mention a new ingredient being added to the metal of the blade!

Using old untrue knowledge has determined that the common water bug (skater) produces air pockets in its fuzzy little feet or something like that.
Using my science I have discovered that the water-skater has the ability to turn on or off any of it's limbs AURA that repels the AURA of water.
This phenomenon allows it to use any of its limbs to paddle. The limbs turned on have the bug hoovering very slightly above the water. This energy creates noticeable indents on the water and allows the bug to move with out creating wave or friction
PS Oh and the female water skater has two more legs than the male enabaling her to handle the weight of copulation.
The potential discovery in any subject is endless. I for instance realized while flying a high cambered Aircraft upside down that flight was really all about thrust and atmospheric controlled free fall.
On our Earth, whether standing still, moving up, down, forward, backwards or side ways the membrane of matter interacts with air. What is inside the membrane may or may not. (torque, AURA, gravity, centrifugal, hot, cold etc)
Surely driving your car you have noticed that G-Forces diminish after acceleration has produced movement.
If you are out for a winters walk and notice someone slip and fall then I would advise to walk waddling like a duck. This movement confuses what I am talking about and your more apt not to slip. If your out for a drive and notice cars sliding into each other then park the damn thing!

Skeleton racer accuses Germans of cheating
February 11, 2010
Kevin McGran
WHISTLER, B.C.–One of Canada's most accomplished skeleton racers accuses his German rivals of illegally using magnets in their runners, giving them a shock-absorbing advantage over their competitors.
The Germans deny using magnets and say the Canadians are simply jealous that Germany has become a powerhouse in the sport in less than four years.
Pain's teammate, Jon Montgomery, the world's fifth-ranked male, pointed out that when the Germans skid, their sleds don't make noise. When the other teams skid, the sound of the runners is unmistakable.
