Science is Easier than it Sounds: What is Entropy - REALLY?
http://science-is-easy.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-is-entropy-really.html
Science is Easier than it Sounds. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. What is Entropy - REALLY? As far as obscure concepts in Thermodynamics go, Entropy gets way more than its share of media attention. Unfortunately most of what is shouted and written about Entropy is complete nonsense. Utter bollocks. Somewhat inaccurate or wanting in veracity, shall we say. Energy is nothing more than motion or the possibility of motion. One big car in motion has as much kinetic energy as two smaller cars that together weigh...

Science is Easier than it Sounds: May 2014
http://science-is-easy.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Science is Easier than it Sounds. Thursday, May 15, 2014. What Is a THEORY? The way the word "theory" is used in modern English is increasingly synonymous with some half-baked idea that is unproven at best and almost certainly NOT true. This is why many people when they encounter the word "theory" in a scientific context become confused, skeptical, or downright contrary. But when scientists use the word "theory" in its technical sense, what do they mean? How do we find out who is right? Your hypothesis i...

A Shed Down Under: Fascinating Links
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/p/fascinating-links.html
My meager contributions to the inter-webs can be seen by following these links:. Making Sense of Science Newsletter. Located for the moment on my business' domain and kept for archival purposes, the Newsletter itself does not circulate any longer due to the cost and complexity of email distribution lists. I was also getting too much spam through the forms. John S. Jacob. My "business card" site which try as I might, is not always up-to-date. Another site for uploading and sharing presentations.

Science is Easier than it Sounds: What are atoms made of?
http://science-is-easy.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-are-atoms-made-of.html
Science is Easier than it Sounds. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. What are atoms made of? All these things and more are composed of just three kinds of building blocks. Combinations of these three simple bits comprise everything of any consequence in the physical universe. They are The Electron, The Proton, and The Neutron. The Neutron. This weighs about the same as a proton and is about the same size. It is also sticky, like a proton. But it has no electrical charge and is therefore very hard to ...When a bu...

Science is Easier than it Sounds. Thursday, February 3, 2011. More Fun with Science. Science is so much fun that if I could, I'd just sit around all day doing science. Oh, wait. Here's a video I made on one particularly fun day when I figured out how to do something new using the stuff that was just laying around the Science Cave. Enjoy! John Jacob - The Innovation Guru.

Fixing Broken Innovation: A Nuclear-Powered Argument
http://p-r-o-system.blogspot.com/2010/03/nuclear-powered-argument.html
The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Sunday, March 21, 2010. On 4 March 2010 the WA Business News published an opinion piece I wrote about the hidden costs of nuclear energy to the taxpayer, and about whether nuclear energy was a good choice for Western Australia. Dr Dennis Jensen, MP, was outraged and reminded me that many old nuclear sites have been rehabilitated over the years. Well, duh! WA is a state of around 2 million people with a land area of about 2.5 million square kilometers....WA do...

Fixing Broken Innovation: April 2011
http://p-r-o-system.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Why Inventors Go Broke and Investors Get Rich. I’ve often said that 997 out of every 1000 inventions never make any money. How do I arrive at that precise figure? They have this Simple Arithmetic. On their side that I’m about to show you, which inventors can also take advantage of. The probability of the first business failing is 70%. The probability of the first AND second ones failing together are 0.7*0.7 = 0.49 or...Logic, then a...

Fixing Broken Innovation: To Patent or Not to Patent?
http://p-r-o-system.blogspot.com/2010/03/to-patent-or-not-to-patent.html
The Innovation Guru solves your R&D problems. Monday, March 22, 2010. To Patent or Not to Patent? Inventors and innovative business owners ask me this all the time. My response is this:. Are you even ready to ask this question? Your IP strategy is in turn just one little component of your complete Business Plan. The Business Plan must summarize and outline how exactly the idea or invention is going to bring money in the door. How much money? From where and from whom? Yes, I know of instances, and some ve...
