| I’m a philosophy student studying Eastern philosophy. There is an old Zen puzzle: “what’s the difference between a duck.” I think that’s similar to: “what’s the sound of one hand smacking.” Sometimes science problems such as cleaning up the atmosphere reminds me of those puzzles. It gives me a headache, that’s why I study philosophy to get a real buzz. - Rodger in Maine |
| It says on your website that the $25 million dollars was the biggest prize in history. I don't think that's right. The guy that married Helen of Troy probably got the biggest prize in history. I mean she had the face that launched a thousand ships. She was better than Angelina Jolie. - Betsy G. |
| Seems to me that removing one billion tons of carbon dioxide every year for ten years would come out to about 10 billion tons of Carbon dioxide. Since there are about 6 billion people on the Earth that amounts to 1.6 tons or 3,200 pounds of carbon dioxide per person over the ten years. Since ten years has 3,650 days, at least in the metric system, then each person would have to clean up about a pound of carbon dioxide a day. I thought people might want to know that. - Science is Forever! |
| I read that the Greenhouse contest closes February 8th, 2010. I think it would be better to close the contest on August 8, 2008 because you can write that like 8/8/2008. Then people won't get mixed up between the day and the month. Also 8 is a very lucky number. I don't know, just my thoughts. - Mad Contestant |
How they will judge if the air is cleaner? Will they get judges from all countries or just from the USA? I think people from France have a better sense of smell because they all do gourmet cooking over there. I like hamburgers. - Lucy F. |
| My four year old sister is so dumb. She said to clean the air with soap. But I think bubbles might work because they can float up to the sky where all the pollution is. - Jenny age 10 |
| If half the atmosphere is full of greenhouse gas, the only problem is weI don't know which half. I guess you could clean both halves but how do you clean the part that's clean already?. - Dianna P. |
