Ive been through three chemistry explosions. A flask of oxygen and acetylene blew up. The second involved molten sodium on water. The third involved hydrogen, which lifted the airship Hindenburg, burning in that disaster. All were at age 12. All produced immense explosions that totally consumed the scientific apparatus. Theres a moral to this tale. Children should be supervised when playing with exciting but dangerous stuff. So should grown-ups. Financial derivatives create exciting profits for Wall Street. They also create dangerous political contributions. Theres the rub, as Hamlet said. After the Constitution was drafted, Ben Franklin told a bystander that America would have a democracy if you can keep it. So, have we? Welcome to the tragedy. If you voted for Republicans, you voted to gut trade unions, which used to support the Democrats financially. And you voted for a conservative Supreme Court. It gutted the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law, an issue right there. (Sharper Focus, Guns are People, April 3, 2014) Political campaigns now cost millions. Hence, Bill Clinton had no alternative but to accept Wall Streets money simply to stay in the game. But he who pays the piper calls the tune. Clinton had made a bargain … Continue reading →

You remember the sodium demo from chemistry class: Just a small chunk of the pure metal dropped into water causes a great big flash and bang. You might even remember your chemistry teacher's explanation for why. But there's always been a missing piece of the puzzle, which scientists have finally figured out using high-speed video cameras. Sodium is one of the highly reactive alkali metals. In its pure form, the soft, shiny metal reacts in water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Oh, and lots of heatenough that the hydrogen gas ignites. That's the flash and bang for you. That's probably what your chemistry teacher told you, but Pavel Jungwirth of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic was puzzled by a couple more things. Only the surface of the sodium reacts with water and wouldn't the hydrogen gas envelope the sodium chunk and slow the reaction? So of course, he pulled out a high-speed camera. Emily Conover of Science explains what happened next: The cameras captured a never-before-seen effect. Less than a millisecond after the reaction begins, tens to hundreds of spiky metal protrusions pierce the water... The spikes appear, the researchers deduced, because when electrons flee … Continue reading →

Dear Abby: I am considered to be a quite attractive -- easily a nine or a 10 -- professional dancer here in Las Vegas. I recently met a guy who has literally met almost all my dream qualities for a life partner, husband and father of my future children. The problem is, I'm not attracted to him. He's not ugly; he has symmetrical features, straight teeth, nice skin and is in pretty good shape, if a little on the skinny side. I have always dated muscular, very fit men who get me excited at the sight of them, and I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me because after nine months I'm still struggling with his looks. I feel like there is no sexual chemistry. But we have another kind of chemistry because we get along great, and he motivates me to be a better person. Am I shallow, or is the lack of sexual chemistry a sign that maintaining a successful long-term relationship won't happen? -- Miss Picky in Las Vegas Dear Miss Picky: I'm not going to call you shallow. Whether lack of sexual chemistry is a deal-breaker for you depends upon how important sex is to you. … Continue reading →
