Ghost hunters spot spooks at pool

The Boston Standard-- GHOST hunters say they have found evidence of spooks at Boston's Swimming Pool.

Lincolnshire Paranormal Investigators spent a night at the Geoff Moulder Leisure Complex - and reckon they have discovered a monk-like male figure and a young girl haunting the halls.


The group – which included mediums and paranormal investigators - threw themselves in at the deep end, setting up cameras and sound equipment at the pool.

And they are so confident that what they found were ghosts that they are sending their evidence to TV programmes specialising in spectres.

Did the moon form in a nuclear explosion ?

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new theory suggests the Moon was formed after a natural nuclear explosion in the Earth's mantle rather than after the impact of a massive object with the Earth, as previously thought.

The problem with the impact hypothesis is that simulations calculate the Moon should be composed of 80% impactor and 20% Earth, whereas in fact the isotope ratios of light and heavy elements found in Moon rocks so far examined are virtually identical to those on Earth.

The fission hypothesis is an alternative explanation for the formation of the moon, and it predicts similar isotope ratios in the Moon and Earth. The hypothesis (credited to Charles Darwin’s son George in 1879) is that the Earth and Moon began as a mass of molten rock spinning rapidly enough that gravity was just barely greater than the centrifugal forces. Even a slight kick could dislodge part of the mass into orbit, where it would become the Moon. The hypothesis has been around for 130 years, but was rejected because no one could explain a source of the energy required to kick a moon-sized blob of molten rock into orbit.
