If you don't want to do what is good for this planet, do what is good for your child

Maybe you don't want to move a finger to save the planet, but can you think how your child's life will be ?

Water detected on distant planet

Water has been detected for the first time in the atmosphere of a planet outside our Solar System.

The planet, known as HD 209458b, is a Jupiter-like gas giant located 150 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus.

Other scientists reported in February they were unable to find evidence of water in this planet's atmosphere, as well as in another Jupiter-like planet.

Details of the research are published in the Astrophysical Journal.

Water vapour (or steam) was expected to be present in atmospheres of most known extrasolar planets, even those that orbit more closely to their parent star than Mercury is to our Sun.

For the majority of exoplanets, their close proximity to their parent star has made detecting water and other compounds difficult.


As a planet passes in front of a star, its atmosphere blocks a different amount of starlight at different wavelengths of light.

The Philadelphia Experiment

The Philadelphia Experiment is an United States Navy experiment, done on October 28, 1943. During the experiment, the destroyer USS Eldridge was teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia, and back again to the Philadelphia Naval Yard. The experiment had terrible side effects, such as making sailors to go mad, and some of them never returned.The Navy quit exploring this exciting new technology.


The Navy denies that it ever did such a test. There are lots of questions for the creators, why they done this experiment on a such big object with people on it. They could do this on small objects, or animals, and watch their reactions, then decide that making this experiment on humans is a high risk. This experiment can be done on other object, but why it wasn't made ? because it is impossible.

This is my point of view, let's see other opinions.

The Navy does all kinds of experiments, but they keep it secret.It's true that the Navy was experimenting with "invisibility" in 1943, but not with making ships disappear. Edward Dudgeon, who says he was there on the U.S.S. Engstrom, claims that they hoped to make our ships "invisible to magnetic torpedoes by de-Gaussing them." Dudgeon described the procedure:




Now, this experiment seems to be only a myth, but, who started the speculations about this experiment ? We don't have answers too many questions, and probably we will never know if the experiment is real or not.
