FT EXPLORING: WE THINK. THEREFORE WE EXPLORE AND LEARN.

Welcome to FT Exploring

Outstanding, accurate, entertaining, enlightening (according to my readers), and
FREE, energy and science education. No adds interrupt my content. You are Free
to explore to your heart's and mind's content. Enjoy. (And please share!)
Click on the links above, or even better, scroll through the items below, and
choose to learn.
Did I mention it's FREE.

The same basic science principles apply everywhere in nature. Explore how energy
flows through all of nature, living organisms, and human technology. The
knowledge of these principles has come through the simple application of
scientific knowledge. Humans only started thinking this way a few hundred years
ago. The change, since then, has been astonishing.



NEWEST PAGE: PLAGUE!

Imagine a world where half the children never grow up. That's how it always was,
until just the last 120 years or so. Now, in the often called "more developed"
countries, much less than one in a hundred die before age 20. Is it a miracle?

NEW PAGE: COLLIDING STARS

Colliding neutron stars, gravity waves, and the creation of gold? It happened
when dinosaurs roamed, but we just learned about it. The incredible story of
human growth and wonders discovered by the scientific method. Look what we can
achieve when we work together?

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

My most popular pages. For twenty years, students, teachers, and continuous
learners, have loved this free resource. Start at the intro link above, or go to
my most popular page of all time: Photosynthesis in a Leaf.

ENERGY IS EVERYTHING

Energy conversions make everything happen. In the right conditions (like on the
sun and in nuclear power plants), matter can be converted to energy. Energy is
the essence of everything. A lot of gobbledy-goop is said about it. Want the
straight scoop? Start here.

WIND ENERGY

The wind is free and never stops. We don't need to fight over it. How much power
can you really take from the wind? Why you can't compare wind turbine efficiency
to the efficiency of diesel engines or other thermal engine types, and more.

SOLAR ENERGY

If you're serious about learning the real nitty-gritty of solar energy, these
pages are clear and thorough. Don't go tossin' around terms like insolation,
direct, diffuse, or reflected radiation, until you've studied these pages.
Written by AM Watson.

WONDERS OF SCIENCE

We were stuck in a thinking rut! For thousands of years, we just made stuff up.
And woe unto those who dared question the stories we made up. Then, amazingly,
we learned to question the stories, to test them, and most wondrous of all, we
could change our mind - the biggest, most incredible, breakthrough in human
history.

PLAGUES AND CURES

A new coming series, intruduced here, and in the Plague! link above. For most of
our history, no one knew what caused the diseases that were killing so many
children. We didn't know about "germs". Thanks to the scientific method, we
discovered the real causes and how to prevent or cure many deadly diseases.
Millions upon millions of children stopped dying.

DR. GALAPAGOS

Ah, Dr. Galapagos! Still kicking after all these years. From the earliest days
of this site. He's still popular. What the hec, let's start him up again. He's a
know-it-all. Got a science question? Send it in.

SUPERBUGS?

Fleas and ants are incredible and fascinating, but they are not super powered.
If a flea were as big as a horse, could it jump many times its own height? Nope.
It probably couldn't even walk, much less jump an inch. Could the mighty ant
lift 20 times its own weight? Nope. Probably couldn't even lift its own head.

CATAPULTS AND FLEAS

The flea has a clever trick, that is more brillian and elegant than any super
power, and it stays within the laws of nature -- as we all must do. Everything
living thing has something wondrous about it.

WHAT HAVE THE ENGINEERS WROUGHT?

Like it or not, the engineers have given us civilization. Engineers, and
engineering, are the reason we have musicians, lawyers, talk show hosts,
artists, real estate agents, scientists, teachers, and on and on and on. Read
about Doofty Girl and the parallel world where engineering never happened.
