Blog Post #3

I know the last one was late.. But this is CURRENT ACTION NEWS!!!!

Summary: The Big Bang atom smasher is fixed! After a year of expensive repairs, this atom collider is ready to go. The purpose of this machine to to create conditions that would have happened one or two trillionth of a second after the Big Bang supposedly happened. Scientists and Physicists are extremely pleased, because so far tests and experiments have been running smoothly.

Who: Physicists and Scientists

What happened: The particle accelerator at Fermi Labs is working and running smoothly again.

Where: Geneva

When: From when I post this, 18 minutes ago.

Why: This machine shows conditions of what would the universe be like after the Big Bang.

My Opinion:

This is extremely cool! If you read this a think about it, science has come a very long way. IT is really amazing that they can recreate these conditions and environments, so we know about our beginnings.

Blog #2

Who is this guy? Help!






What do you think when I say this. World fastest man adopts world fastest animal. Yeah, I don't know what to think either, so I'm asking you....



Who: Usain Bolt and his new cheetah, Lightning Bolt.

What Happened: Usain Bolt, the record holder for track hurdles, pays to adopt a baby cheetah as a new pet. Obviously, the cheetah won't live with him. Instead, Lightning Bolt shall live in a reserve.

When: November 2Nd, 2009

Where: Kenya, Africa.

Why: He wanted to raise awareness for endangered species.

Funny?:



If you keep reading this article, at a private photo shoot, Usain was asked to pose with a lion. He nearly ran away. Yet, he'd hold a baby cheetah and feed it when cameras were flashing... Poor cheetah, caught in a publicity stunt...



My Opinion: It's always good for a celebrity to endorse something. Especially something that has to do with life. I applaud Usain for taking this step and adopting the adorable cheetah. I mean, look at the little guy! *aww*

Blog Responses

ALL BLOGS ARE FOUND ON MY BLOG LIST!!!!!

Bookwormsrule870045- Hyena Article

I think this is a very intresting thing to know. This study proves that canines are quick at learning skills, while it would take primates extensive training to do so. Also, it is cool how they designed this test. It was smart, it was to the point, and it didn't harm the animals. One question I have is why does hyenas and dogs learn these things better than primates? Is it because they grew up that way? Does it have somthing to do with their brains? All in all, the article was very well written, and it was to the point. It also showed somthing new!

Trckstr' Awsum Blog- Solids, Liquids, and Gases article

This blog was really good! Why? Well, it was to the point, and gave all the information in a simple, coordinated way. Also, this blog used pictures to help the reader understand and learn more. So, here is what I learned. Solid molocules are close together, and tightly packed. Liquid molocules are free to move, but stay close together. And Gases just go everywhere, trying to get as far away as possible. And then, there is plasma. That happens when the the gas molocules are moving so fast the electrons are stripped from them. Did you know plasma is one of the well known matter in the universe, but isn't found on earth. Huh, go figure. One question for this article is how does the electrons get stripped, and how are they put back together in deionization? I hope I can figure this out. But, all in all, I appluad this article! It was good!

soccercrazy6- New Exoplanets discovered

This blog was crazy! (I say that in the it-was-totally-awesome way) It was about the new exoplanets found with HARPS, a super powerful telescope. Personally, I thought HARPS was a union for all professional harp teachers.... Anyways, this blog really interested me! It showed that we are one step in a journey closer to finding another, "earth," even life! This really excites me. I am in the mood to go and google this topic right now!

jetsfan21- Clever New Device Sees Through Walls

This was probally the coolest blog out of all of these. So, there is a new device that uses radio topography to see images. That is using radio waves to find objects. Like what dolphins do to find food. (Why can't I remember that word when I need it?!) This would be really helpful in a fire, to save lives and find hidden people. But, like Hannah Montana said, nobody's perfect, like this project. It still has glitches that need to be solved. But, this is really interesting. One question I have is how do you manage to test an object like this. I know, it says that in the blog. But is there a way to prove to common people that it works? This device is sort of like a superhero, huh? X-RAY VISION!

devilsrule5555- Smart Fish

This was a new thing! DId you know fish could tell diffrences between enemy and food, ect. This reminds me of this book i read as a kid. Dolphins were tested to do the same thing. They would have two targets, and they would hit the right one. It is kind of cool to see that fish can do the same thing. I always thought all fish did was swim and eat. Now, I'm proven wrong. Too bad I can't get one. The last one I had, my cat ate.

Yankees02- First three pigs in the US with Swine Flu.

Wow.... That is all I have to say.

BONES (No, not the skeleton bones, silly! The TV show!)

Okay, so everyone has seen or have heard of this show once. Why am I bringing this topic up? Well, it's all about the Bones. Yes, I am talking about the fabulous show starring DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel) And Special Agent Booth (David Boreanaz). Yes, this is my FAVORITE SHOW IN THE UNIVERSE!!! (I write that in all caps for a reason) Anyways, the last episode (or a few nights ago), They found the dead body of a chicken-man. Bones couldn't believe it herself, but, when they were checking out the body, there was a parasite in the guys throat that was only FOUND IN CHICKENS! And, when Angela did a face sketch, the guys nose looked like a chicken's beak! No kidding, it was long and hanging, sort of like Squidwards nose! At the end, well just watch the episode. But, I learned three important things.

1. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL! If you aren't, the enviroment you are in may hurt you.
2. Joints are very important in the body. It can lead to causes of death. So are bone brusies!
3. Chemical changes and physical appearances are VERY IMPORTANT in science. They can show damage, even solve unknown situations!

Watch the show! You don't only learn somthing, you enjoy it!
