If you’re a fan of science fiction, you’ve probably heard the term “nanorobots,” “nanobots” or even “nanites.” Most likely, you have some rough idea of what they do and how they work. They’ve been used to wipe out diseases from the bloodstream, perform delicate repairs on equipment, augment human abilities, and other things. They’re practically…

Frontline for cats: what you should know
Frontline for cats: what you should know

I once spent a week in a small North Carolina town visiting with a good friend of mine. We had become friends online because I had read some very enlightening posts she had written. She had interesting thoughts on religion, world events and politics. The Greyhound ride down there wasn’t fun: fourteen hours of being packed into a giant sardine can with a bunch of…

I love The Onion, and I love the A. V. Club articles they put out. These guys have a gift for talking about the raw matter of modern pop culture. If you’re familiar with the A. V. Club, you know that their articles are not satire like The Onion; they are very similar to articles from Rolling Stone.
Just a little bit ago, I read an article on the A. V. Club called “

Listen, kids–don’t give each other hickeys. Hickeys are dumb. They make you look trashy. And when you’re proud of them, you’re showing exactly how much of a child you are.
Listen, athletes–that thing you’re doing with suction cups that leave bruises? Cupping? Yeah, they’re dumb too. If you’re getting anything from it, it’s the placebo effect.

I invite you to do a little thought experiment with me, and you’ll need a prop to help you along. Get yourself a sheet of paper. Draw an X toward one end and another X toward the other end. It should look something like this:
I want you to imagine that the surface of this sheet of paper is a miniature world, with living creatures that are completely flat. I mean…

Are genetically modified (GMO) foods safe?
Are genetically modified (GMO) foods safe?

I’m gonna say it right here and now: genetically modified crops are safe to eat, and the hoopla surrounding it isn’t much more than a bunch of conspiracy theorists getting people riled up. I’m sure you’ve heard of Monsanto. While Monsanto has gotten themselves in hot water in the past, it was not because their product was making anyone sick. If you want to hate…

What is alchemy, anyway?
What is alchemy, anyway?

When I began to research this article, I went in believing that the ultimate goal of alchemy was to transform less precious metals into gold. While most “users” of alchemy did so in an attempt to produce gold, there was much more to it than that.
Alchemyis rooted in the idea that all matter was composed of proportions of earth, air, fire and water; a…

Clean Water Tech: Get to Know It

We’ve seen enough survival shows on TV now to know that when you’re in a survival situation, you need water. People in the real world could start suffering from dehydration on the way from the grocery store back to their car (you know who you are). Whether you’re Les Stroudor not, you probably know you need water to live, and you need it very often. But the…

Marijuana, cancer and you
Marijuana, cancer and you
I know what’s gonna happen when my pot-smoking readers say when they see I’ve written an article about marijuana: they’ll think, or say, “I knew he called himself the ‘Chronic’ Scientist for a reason.” And they’ll think the same thing every time I write an article about weed. And the thought of that amuses me.
It’s hard to imagine a person in America who doesn’t at least know someone who smokes…

What the Heck are Gravitational Waves?

Before I go any further, I must point out the difference between gravitational waves and gravity waves. Gravitational waves are waves that occur in the fabric of spacetimecreated by gravitational phenomena in a massive body in space. Gravity waves are waves that occur in some fluid medium when disturbed from a state of equilibrium, like when you jump into a…

I’d like to kick off this post by talking about one of my favorite movies, Fight Club. I’m a big fan; I have a Tyler Durden leather jacket and I’ve read the book. I’ve gone on to read other books by the author of the book, Chuck Palahniuk. There’s a lot of decay in Fight Club, despite only a single fatality. We ultimately see the decay of the city’s financial…

Say No to Detoxing!
So you’ve decided on the detox. You’re gonna purge those toxins from your body. Maybe even push out a fecal impaction. All those toxins and impurities are affecting your health, both physical and mental. These toxins and impurities include:
Metabolic waste from cells
Accumulated environmental toxins such as pesticides on your food
Heavy metals
Chemicals from household products (cleansers and air…

If you’re into “natural” products, chances are you’ve heard of tea tree oil. It’s used widely in topical products and shampoos. So, is it safe? Effective? Worth the money?
According to Holistic Online, tea tree oil has a “wide range of applications”:
Tea tree oil is active against all three categories of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Where is Outer Space and What Can You See From There?
We’ve all heard the stories about stuff on Earth you can see from space. What does that mean anyway? From where in space? Earth, after all, is located in space. Is it where the atmosphere ends? And from that point, what can you see on the surface?

Did Humans Evolve From Apes?
Did Humans Evolve From Apes?
In 10th grade I read the play Inherit the Wind for the first of several times. Its subject matter, traditional American Christian belief versus the theory of evolution, reached for something higher than just an argument over whether or not evolution should be taught in schools. It dealt with a battle between tradition and free thinking. It was a battle I was more than happy to take part in. I was…

You know, there are many “alternative” medicines in this world, and I’m not going to tackle all of them. Some of them may have some kind of merit, even if they are unscientific. And if they really help people, who am I to confront them?
But there are cases where non-traditional medicines fly not only in the face of science, but in the faces of logic and common…

Whether or not we consider Pluto a planet, it orbits the sun just like Earth and everything else we call a planet. Right?
Yes and no. While the sun lies roughly at the center of the solar system, there’s nothing in physics that sets it apart from any other celestial body in this system. Let’s start off with the basics.
