The curious case of Earth's leaking atmosphere

Earth's atmosphere is leaking. Every day, around 90 tonnes of material escapes from our planet's upper atmosphere and streams out into space.

 

Sort of defies the physics we were all taught. What are the forces that counter the gravitational attraction of bodies with mass? Rotational inertia? Wave collision? Meteor splash? Extraterrestrial gravitational attraction? Electromagnetic repulsion? I suppose there are plenty of causes to choose from.

If only we could bleed off more greenhouse gases.

Judgement Day

 

Greenhouse gases support life. Be careful what you ask for.

 

In spite of Earth's increasing mass, Luna slips away at 4 cm yearly.

The eclipse corona gets larger every year.

 

First U.S. Small Nuclear Reactor Design Is Approved

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the design of a new kind of reactor, known as a small modular reactor (SMR). The design, from the Portland, Ore.–based company NuScale Power, is intended to speed construction, lower cost and improve safety over traditional nuclear reactors, which are typically many times larger.

Some industry proponents argue that SMRs are the best option for bringing large amounts of emissions-free technology online in the short term to help battle climate change. Opponents have cited the unresolved issue of disposing nuclear waste, as well as the significant price tag and time involved in building any nuclear plant, compared with renewable energy sources.

 

There are better reasons to build it than fighting climate change, which is a total waste of the nation's treasure. They would, however, be an ideal power source for DEWs and rail guns.

 

As for DEWs (Directed Energy Weapons), it's said Archimedes used the Sun as energy source to burn attacking ships → Archimedes Heat Ray

 

Tesla's Death Ray

 

We are under a band of rain here in central Florida even as the storm's "eye" crosses over Columbus, Georgia.

 

Eye of the storm.




Ever sense you are being watched?

 

Actually Tesla coil

 

Supposedly, Tesla was building a death ray, but he was struck by a car while crossing the street, and never fully recovered. Death ray, if it was ever built, is one of those secret government cover up conspiracy doodahs.

Apparently, the most lethal device ever created is the automobile.

 

Yep. Weather satellite.
