What does astronomical mean? That word is part of our vernacular yet I feel we don't give it the due it deserves. If you look at the definition from the Oxford dictionary you will find: 1. Relating to astronomy. ‘astronomical observations’ 2. informal (of an amount) extremely large. ‘he wanted an astronomical fee’ But what is extremely large? Really, really large :) Just kidding of course, but I think these terms do not illustrate the proper meaning of the word. To provide context of how astronomical our known...

Have you ever wondered how powerful magnets and magnetic fields can be? There are various types of magnets; permanent magnets (like fridge magnets), temporary magnets (magnetized paperclips), and electromagnets (speakers). I'm sure you have played with one, or all three. But I bet you never realized how precisely you could magnetize something to the point that you could control it remotely. A magnet is the result of particles in an object which are arranged in a north/south orientation and emit a magnetic field. What the scientists have done...

There is certain information considered to be top-secret. This is information so important that only certain people in the world have credentials to discuss it, and even less have access to it.

The US government knew about the interference in early 2016, but this information was considered to be top-secret and could not be shared with candidate Trump. Once a nominee from each party emerges, certain information is shared with...

As crazy as that may sound, that water bottle you carry in your car to cool you off, could end up roasting your vehicle. Though the risk is low, under certain conditions, the water in the bottle can act as a magnifying glass for the Sun light. At minimum, you could end up with a burn mark in your interior. But if luck is not on your side, with the right cabin temperature and Sun light intensity, that burn mark can turn into a fire. The solution is...

As I described in a previous post, Trump never intended to be President. During his 2016 Presidential campaign (which began in June 2015) there were many reports that Trump had Russian interests and as the Mueller Report confirmed, they at least began in 2013. Those Russian interests had tremendous potential and a reasonable person could consider them to be the overriding motive for his favorable stance on Russia. The LOI (Letter of Intent) called for the Trump Organization to receive 5% of all gross sales up to $100...
