    Balls of Stone

    geodes are formed from dinosaur eggs in a process called eggolithification. This is completely impossible and there is no proof whatsoever. However, some unreliable and insignificant evidence can be twisted to make it appear to be supporting evidence. This can then be blindly jumped upon and...

    New Nano Satellite Mission To Examine Link Between Lightning And Terrestrial Gamma Ra

    ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2008) — Massive energy releases occur every day in the upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere. Lightning may give rise to these bursts of radiation. However, unlike the well-known flashes of light and peals of thunder familiar to Earth-dwellers, these energy releases are...

    Female Plant 'Communicates' Rejection Or Acceptance Of Male

    ScienceDaily (Oct. 24, 2008) — Without eyes or ears, plants must rely on the interaction of molecules to determine appropriate mating partners and avoid inbreeding. In a new study, University of Missouri researchers have identified pollen proteins that may contribute to the signaling processes...
