ABOUT Black Mesa Research Association

Black Mesa Research Association.

Black Mesa Research Association.

Welcome Intellectuals, this is a scientific sanctuary where we talk on behalf of Science and Philosophy. Therefore we welcome your arrival to this union of sophisticated and bright minds. In broader detail, the word Science derives from the Latin word of "Scientia" which means Knowledge. Furthermore the word Philosophy comes from the Greek word "Philosophia" which means Lovers of Wisdom. We are all here for a reason, because we have curiousity, understanding, and seek of wisdom, something profoundly good that we must all have. Throughout history we have seen how Science has lead to many inventions and innovations, some of which are dreadful and distructive as the Atom Bomb, but others are meant for peace and have even saved thousands of lives such as the Vaccine. In conclusion Science has given a powerful meaning throughout the ages of mankind.

Though we all have differences and ideologies we are not going to get into religion, creationism, or paranormal subjects. Although both Chief Doctors of the Research Association do believe in God, we will respect your ideology and beliefs, we will certainly not judge you, we expect the same in return. I assure you we will have fun, interesting, and intriguing topics. This is not the normal group where you find boring topics and information on school books, we are broader, professional, and do our research. Ever heard of Theoretical Physics, Cosmology, Aeronautics, or even Botany? these are a few of hundreds of areas of expertise that we will focus and discuss about. We will have announcements, videos, web links, and much more. Opinions will be accepted aslong as they do not insult, putdown, or involve religion.

Remember the Scientists are the ones that inherit Earth and provide to many aspects of society. How do you think we have been able to fly towards the stars? invented vaccines, or even gotten that I-Pod you have? due to the bright and intellectual mind. We will gladly accept your brilliant bright minds and encourage you to become something in life, Thank you and have a wonderful and productive day.

Also, if you want, place the lambda symbol beside your name to signify your a Black Mesa Research Association member. Not anyone can be in our group, so you are part of an elite team.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Northern Lights

16 October, 2010 - -Ʈɽσσƥεɽ-Ven | 1 Comments

Aurora Polaris or Polar Lights are a natural phenomenon that occur on both poles, not just the north. Scientifically The Northern Lights are called the Aurora Borealis and The Southern Lights as the Aurora Australis, but the phenomenon itself is categorized simply as "The Northern Lights".

The formation of The Aurora Borealis or The Northern Lights begin when the Sun ejects a cloud of gas, this process is called a Coronal Mass Ejection. It can take 2 to 3 days for the mass ejection to reach Earths Atmosphere. When it arrives to Earth's atmosphere, the gases collide with the Earth's magnetic field. When the collision occurs, it causes a complex change upon the magnetic tail region. A magnetic tail is a large wave of magnitivity between the Earth and Sun, its invisible but if you could see it, it would look in the shape of a comet stretching many miles with its tail in the opposite direction of the Sun. Continuing, when this happens, currents of charged particles flow along magnetic force lines into the Polars, and when they collide with Oxygen and Nitrogen Atoms, they produce a vast aurol light with many beautiful variety of colors.

Here is a video but with a bit of a time lapse of The Northern Lights. Enjoy.

here is just a little fact for the sake of it. if you think the numbers and letters in the names of guns are just jibberish then think again. ex. an94 is a russian assault rifle. an94 stands for automatic nikonov 1994 pattern. nikonov is the designer of the gun. the modern m14 is called M14 0-EBR/DMR. it stands for mark 14 mod 0 enhanced battle rifle/ designated marksman rifle.
