  1. The constipated composer tried and tried but he couldn't finish the last movement.
  2. I heard that physicists only have five jokes...
  3. You got me on that, I simply googled the strengths of Jupiter vs Saturn magnetic fields.
  4. There is a spider for that. Sorry about all my oil puns. They were crude. I promise to be more refined.
  5. I have a friend that writes songs about sewing machines. She’s a Singer songwriter or sew it seams
  6. Now that is a significant difference! If it were accurate, https://www.britannica.com/place/Saturn-planet/The-magnetic-field-and-magnetosphere
  7. Is anyone else having problems accessing the blog?

      All I get is a 502 error

      Can anyone suggest how I can get past this 502 error when trying to log into the sfn blog? I need access to my stories.

      I fixed it, I have no idea why it did that but I had to reset this lap top completely to get back into the sfn blog. 

  8. I need to write a story about bigfeet... yeah that's the ticket bigfeet have big... feet? Just a story told by Natives to scare children guys...
  9. While accurate its not very satisfying, I still have questions but I suspect that answering my questions would take a book like manuscript at least. I struggle with figuring out what is fundamentally different about the Saturn Titan system and the Jupiter Galilean moons system. Gravity is similar on all five moons, composition is similar, temps are similar, cryovolcanism is similar. I wonder if there is a book about this concept or even papers going into detail about this, it would be a very interesting read. I do have my own speculations about this but they are just speculations.
  10. There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people understand this.
  11. The attenuation of light by water depends on whether it is fresh or marine as well, spending many years growing live coral required an understanding of how light and water "slide past" each other, even the glitter effect can have a strong influence on coral growth. The glitter effect allows for a more intense amount of light reaching further into the water. UVa penetrates far enough for coral to need chemicals to turn that UV into visible light, it allows the UV light to be used for photosynthesis and give many corals their bright colors... in fact I used black lights to influence coral to produce more intense colors. Light plus water equals some interesting phenomena.
  12. It does bring some things into focus that I have wondered about as well! I've given this some more thought and I wonder if the florescent part could have been because I was just at the limit of red light and might have had a bit of yellow left in the glitter flashing around the deck of the liberty ship I was exploring.
  13. You do make a good point, the color of a star reflects its peak output, the fact that the star emits a range of light with just the peak defining its color. Our own sun should, by that peak color thinking, be greenish but there are no green stars, the rest of the sun's spectrum washes out the green peaks. I tried to look this up but no joy, too many pages of the color of stars based on their spectrum on Google but... I saw recently where it is thought that if the Earth was placed around a red star or a blue blue star the color of the star would appear close to what we see from earth due to the peak temp being a peak that ignores the rest of the spectrum. Our own eyes would probably fool us into seeing a moreor less yellow sun in the sky. Evidently googling this requires more finesse than I have. I would like to see a source for this please, it goes against everything I know about plants and photosynthesis.
  14. I honestly have no clue, I know that at depth red light is gone and my blood was bright green with a yellowish florescence to it. I try to take care not to cut my self underwater but that one time I gashed myself pretty good and bled like a stuck pig. The liberty ship I was diving on was full of sharp metal and swimming around through the ship was likely to get you cut at least slightly. On a positive side I did manage to get some interesting glass glass jugs that had been sunk as garbage when the ship was intentionally sunk. I remember quite clearly swimming across the deck with sunlight glinting all-around me and being surrounded by a cloud of fluorescent green blood.
