Contains enough serious matter in side it to leave the appropriate "meteor" fragment data that would be confusing and not particularly revealing, and would contain MORE water than the lake can hold.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I love reading your blog Zoe, gives the girlgenius geek in me stuff to ponder. Plus it's never boring.Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586759980410037672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-44285711222158999872009-01-04T20:26:00.000+11:002009-01-04T20:26:00.000+11:00Oh, yeah, one last thing. Did they think all that...Oh, yeah, one last thing. Did they think all that fresh water got up and walked into the ocean? Water expands when it freezes. Any water converted from ice by the quantum side of the impact event will wind up in atmo as steam. The Lake can hold all the water that was originally there as water, when it becomes ice, it's like a drumhead. It has a surprising amount of tensile strength. Which is why when it's thing enough you can drive trucks on it.<BR/><BR/>The water that conducted energy SIDEWAYS is going to be moving fast, maintaining it heat and energy. Frozen ground, lakes, and so forth, that water rushes right over until it hits the sea/ocean/whatever. It's almost like a reverse tsunami.<BR/><BR/>Samamtha "Carter"Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586759980410037672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-26273224407802831222009-01-04T20:16:00.000+11:002009-01-04T20:16:00.000+11:00Yes, science is fun, but quite often utterly cluel...Yes, science is fun, but quite often utterly clueless. Did they what fail basic physics? Water is two things other than wet. One it is an amazing conductor, and two it cannot be compressed.<BR/><BR/>Hitting an ice sheet, yes the ground beneath would have an impact crater. However. An ice sheet of sufficient thickness will a large enough body of water beneath it, is going to significantly attenuate the impact event. Lakes almost NEVER freeze completely solid. It's a little thing known as thermodynamics. Below a certain depth ground remains at a fairly constant 55 degrees. A sheet of ice above it is freezing cold. Thus a little thing known as convection. Even a small amount of convection, or movement prevents lakes from freezing past a certain depth. Just ask and ice fisherman who spends hours cutting a hole so he can go fishing. Fish survive, and are moving. Thus aiding convection, and preventing the water from freezing below a certain depth.<BR/><BR/>Still with me?<BR/><BR/>Impact with a block of ice of a sufficient body of water below it is going to act as a sort of shield for the ground beneath it all. At impact, the kinetic energy of the object is going to instantly be released in an amazing amount of motion turned into raw energy. With the right amounts of mass,energy and water beneath . . . BOOM and no crater. The kinetic energy gets loosed in the shock wave of impact, the turning the ice back into water, and the water conducting the energy sideways. The surface tension acts as a reflector, dispersing the atomized meteor fragments into atmo, which then disperses it over a vast area. It happens at a quantum level. Why? Because matter can neither be created, nor destroyed. I just changes state. some into pure energy, some into atomized dust and so forth. Frankly I'd be surprised if there WAS a crater in the ground.<BR/><BR/>Science has become, like medicine, over specialized, the right pinky doesn't know what the left pinky is doing. Similarly the folks worried about the Clovis folks, don't necessarily know about Quantum Physics. Heck even Quantum folks don't know about quantum physics because they are still fighting about it. Put them in the same room and everyone WILL BE talking a different language and get nothing done. Trust me, I've been there done that.<BR/><BR/>But hey, what do I know. Because my brother asked me for help with something he was working on I designed two different generators that run on either garbage, or water, and produce power AND clean pure water at the same time. Best of all? No moving parts. Just a release of energy and electro-thermo-dynamics.<BR/><BR/>I expect they'll be showing up to pay me to shut the hell up, or they'll try and kill me.<BR/><BR/>One of my nicknames around these parts is "Carter" after Colonel Samantha Carter, PH.D, USAF from the hit series Stargate SG-1. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, as my family is fond of saying: "You should be very careful using the word HOW around her. She'll tell you."<BR/><BR/>Samantha "Carter"Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586759980410037672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-21907295236410906072009-01-04T12:12:00.000+11:002009-01-04T12:12:00.000+11:00Hi Jane!

Double that if it involves kidneys. You had major surgery, plus complications.<BR/><BR/>Rest up, let the world turn without you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for popping round to say "hi" - that was really thoughtful.<BR/><BR/>Love to Captain Scarlet, please tell him to take things easy too.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, ZoeZoe Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712045376060102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-11953261432662604072009-01-04T08:14:00.000+11:002009-01-04T08:14:00.000+11:00Strictly O/T response - helloooooo!
