Atmospheic Electricity

[Haipule]

This is new to me. Apparently we live under a negative electricity blanket--grounded. The positive electricity is in the sky above and you can't reach it(unless your flying) even from the tallest mountain. The positive atmospheric electricity increases with altitude to say, 400 meters = 140 volts(?).


This actually explains a lot to me. It explains how a bee in beeline flight doesn't smack into a building. It's just bouncing off the negative blanket up and over.


That's my 2 cents worth.

Yes Sir. I know. But I would love to hear what you have to say!

I pretty much knew what I was going to get when I clicked on this thread. And I wasn't disappointed.

This shit makes me lol so hard.

Haipule, I'm not quite certain if you know this or not, but you are not making any coherent statements about science or the natural world with these science threads.

In any case, I know you like to make people laugh, so... mission accomplished, bro. I can't wait for your next science thread. And don't listen to the haters. More weeding FTW!

Actually with relation to electricity. My son found out earlier this month that our gutters are charged. We live behind some power lines and the ambient static electric charge at the bottom of the gutters is around 280 V (but like no amps so it's like one of those gag shock pens). I told this to the roofers and he didn't believe me (He must have been grounded because he didn't feel it). So he went up to fix the soffit and check the roof. He finished and came to apologize because apparently up top it kicks like an electric fence. The electric company came and grounded the gutters and AC frame last week, but it was still humorous to see how quickly a few volts changed a young kids mind about what was real.

You information is antiquated.  Current theory holds that the atmosphere is made of particles called 'atmospheritrons', which are about the size and shape of a small pea.  Electricity is generated by the wave front produced by the cloaking devices used by atmospheritrons (this is why we can't see them).

Bees are equipped with GPS devices and follow them literally; if it says, 'Turn right now' you can bet your left nut that's what the bee is going to do.  Since bees have six legs, they are ambidextrous.  When told by the GPS to turn right, half of the bee attempts to do so, while the other half tries to go to the left. This, coupled with the effects of the minute amounts of upsidaisium in the bee's DNA is what causes the bee to go up and over the building.

Jokes on you. The man that introduced atmospheric electricity to the world won the Noble Peace Prize with this discovery. Sure, I oversimplified it. But, wish to keep it simple and talk to you about it. Apparently, you never heard of it before either! We should all seek to understand the natural world we live in. I think this subject, and many others, is important to understand so that we don't become stagnate with yesterdays science.

Indeed, all peace prizes are noble.   But exactly which one did Benjamin Franklin win?

Also, did atmospheric electricity bow or curtesy when introduced?

Ok, I will go away now.
