Karl Rice The format I like the most of the periodic elements would be the original table. All the other ideas have good things about them but the original periodic table has the elements sorted in the best way and most simple way. The modified periodic table has some good ideas like putting Hydrogen over group 17 but the rearranging of the groups dosent make sense to me. I like the spiral periodic table a lot but again I don't think it explains some of the things that the original periodic table can. The Galaxy and 3D version of the table is kind of far off and is almost confussing.

The most interesting part to the Einstein article was the whole speed of light and if you go the speed of light that a clock behind you would not look like it changes. This fascinates me and blows me away at the same time. One thing the article said was Einstein had a theory that the speed of light was like the universes speed limit because if you go the seed of light, then everything gets distorted. Does this mean that if you go this speed that its impossible to go any faster or that its impossible to measure such a speed?

I the article on hydrogen cars and I found the fact that most major car companys are producing hydrogen cars but they are too expensive to even consider for even the richer middle class. The Honda is priced somewhere around 200 thousand dollars or you could lease it for 600 dollars a month. They would have to at least cut these prices in half for them to be avalible to the middle class. Thats who it needs to be avalible to for the biggest impact on the enviroment. The other big problem with these cares is the fact that there are little to non hydrogen refulling stations. The closest one to New York City is in Allentown PA, which is 100 miles away. If there was more hydrogen fuel stations then the hydrogen car would seem more attractive to those that can afford it.

This article is intresting to me because I did not know that the rubber beeds in the turf our actually chopped up tires. I also wasn't aware that there was actually a lair of sand then the layer of the rubber and all this is put in on site. The sand helps hold the 5.5 cm blades of grass up which is intresting. I also learned that the blades of grass bring in heat. I know that the turf can be scalding to your feet but I thought it was due to the rubber, not because of the grass. Lastly I did not know that tracks were so complicated in there makings. I wondered why the track was cut and had seems all over it. I believe it would be so intresting to put these tracks together and create the fields.
