QUESTIONS I CAN’T ANSWER.

 

 

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

 

Why is a nickel larger than a dime?

 

Why are ghosts wearing clothes?

 

If Pluto is a dog, what the fuck is goofy?





 

Astrophysicists are constantly concerned with the possibility of a giant asteroid, similar to the one that caused the dinosaur extinction hitting the Earth.   But what happens to Earth if a large asteroid misses us but strikes the Moon?   Would it knock the moon out of its present orbit?  What happens to Earth if the Moon changes its orbit even slightly?

Everything is in equilibrium.  We can place satellites in space where the gravities of space objects cancel each other.  If the moon’s orbit changes will satellites fall out of the sky?

 

Why do vampire hunters always enter the vampire’s crypt minutes before sundown?







Why do working people vote for Republicans?

COSMOS: A SPACE TIME ODYSSEY








Neal deGrasse Tyson is the most popular astrophysicists of today.   He has taken the mantle once held by Carl Sagan.   His ability to simplify and explain our relationship with science and the cosmos has made him a popular guest on many TV network shows. 



Dr Tyson will soon be hosting a new sixteen part science documentary beginning in late March or early April on Fox and the History Channel.  



Dr Tyson has given a number of interesting lectures ranging from black holes to UFOs to religion verses science.   Many of these are available on YOUTUBE and worth the time viewing.
