Watch this video and then watch an explanation by Brian Cox that I posted last week.
Dan Satterfield has worked as an on air meteorologist for 32 years in Oklahoma, Florida and Alabama. Forecasting weather is Dan's job, but all of Earth Science is his passion. This journal is where Dan writes about things he has too little time for on air. Dan blogs about peer-reviewed Earth science for Junior High level audiences and up.
Um…not wanting to be a nit-picker…but a boson is a particle – a bosun is a sailor…
That isn’t being picky and it requires a thank you! Fixed of course.
