The day after Tomorrow

Imatge
This is the title of a 2004 film that related about the sudden arrival of the fifth Quaternary glaciation. The film has the same rigor that 2012 film: none; but unlike 2012 where it exposed an improbable situation even with the entry conditions of film, the day after it presents a realistic situation and the probable events, while exaggerated developing the script and the plot is pathos. Like every movie has a happy ending entirely unrealistic because the reduction of a third of the area who have to live half of the 7,000 million inhabitants probably end up with a war for the remaining land (in this context Is it sure that Mexico will be able to contain 150 million evacuees at the border, as shown in the film, until you write off debt before wile evacuation is doing by second largest and technical army in the world? and why we do it extends to China Russia, UK, France, Japan ...). I don’t what to speak about the movie but the real possibility of a new ice age that would change in ...

The finish of North Pole ice can provoke a new ice age

Imatge
The paper publicized in Nature “ Western Arctic Ocean freshwater storage increased by wind-driven spin-up of the Beaufort Gyre ” (Katharine A. Giles, et al. 01/2012), authors talked about a great bulge with 8.000 Km3 of fresh water that is caching between ice and saline water. In the last years its size tends to grow, and the phenomenon is linked to climate change. The origin of fresh water is the water of the rivers that flow into Artic Sea and snow of ice layer thawed. This water doesn’t blend with the Artic water and its size has a fluctuated seasonal. Why exits a bulge fresh water and does it blend with Artic water? I can explain it. If you take fresh water and you put into salt, salt dissolves quickly; but if you take fresh and saline water and both put into glass slowly both liquids continue without blended, similar water and oil. This behavior is caused by different density of them also if we stir them water blended. In the sea happens the same but in surface there are win...

The drop that makes a glass overflows

If you fill a glass until the top and the last section we do drop to drop, we reach a point where a drop enters the glass begins to overflow. We can consider that the penultimate drop completed volume of the glass and last drop did not fit and so it fell by the side. So just get out there would expect a drop, but in reality much more water overflows. This behavior is caused by the surface tension of the liquid that links the surface preventing it from breaking, thus the last drops before overflow don't fit but tension doesn't let water to fall by side. When it starts to overflow? So when the weight of the liquid is higher than the tension, the surface loses its mechanical consistency and breaks, it let out all the excess liquid. There are other metastable situations that after passing the threshold of stability, under certain conditions so close to threshold, it remains stable until they were disturbed or too move away to threshold. The instantaneous vaporization of water’s gl...
