Don’t worry, atomgoren! The Clear Science staff are all fine. Things have just been busy. We’re going to resume on a schedule a little slower. By the way, Clear Science is over a year old now.
Thanks whimsicalday! The Clear Science staff has been very busy with science. We’ll be posting again shortly.
Thanks, awpoops! Of course you mean when we discussed how guitar pickups work by electromagnetic induction. The Clear Science staff likes guitars, so we’re always willing to talk more about them.
(By the way, we know that’s not a real guitar on your site, awpoops.)
The Clear Science staff are big fans of Fake Science. (Last year we even did cross-promotionals—remember that, old timers?)
Okay, so we want to throw some Clear Science on this: why does salt melt snow?
Thanks maggieyorkworth! We’d better get to this before it gets too nice outside. (Most of the Clear Science staff is so sick of the snow this year.)
Awesome, njbrave08! If there’s one thing the Clear Science staff believes in, it’s guitars. And there’s some science to how guitars work, so let’s go for it.
Not yet, absolutefiend. But when a question allows us to keep posting pretty pictures of nebulae, you don’t think the Clear Science staff is going to blow it in one day do you?
Anonymous, that is one of the most awesome questions the Clear Science staff has ever gotten. You’re right, we said there was no gas in space. While that’s generally right, that’s not exactly right. What about interstellar gas? How about sound waves in that?
And sgtrenegade, too. You’re right! People use concepts of both waves and particles to describe light. A lot of you wrote the Clear Science staff asking about this, but don’t worry … we’re coming to that …
Continuing with light, maroonflush and mikerickson have great questions about light’s wave/particle duality, and why light bends in a gravitational field.
