Dinosaur feet, it goes without saying but I will say it anyway. Are very different from those of humans. Because of their unique foot structure most bipedal dinosaurs walked on their toes. Which I guess answers the question.

Why not listen to my new podcast episode did dinosaurs have toes?

Human beings! We aren’t really that strong, and before 3500 we were limited by how much we could move over any reasonable distance. The invention of a circular object was not in of itself a hard discovery.

The true innovation came when the wheel-and-axle concept was invented. The holes at the center of the wheels and at the ends of the axles had to be very near perfect or too much friction was applied would make jamming and pushing too hard.

In addition to this axles need to be relatively straight and put up with enough punishment when holding the weight of the vehicle. Today technology and materials means anyone can do it. But 3500 BC when everything was a manual process completed by hand it was much more of a challenge.

PN M2-9, or the Twin Jet Nebula is a bipolar planetary nebular. These nebula form around binary star systems, studies have demonstrated that the nebula is still growing. Using the rate of expansion it was calculated that the two jets occurred just 1200 years ago.

The image taken by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, demonstrates an amazing complexity to the objects formation. The bright interaction in the middle, suggests a violent reaction taking place in the middle. Gas is streaming out of the binary star system at speeds of over 621,400 miles an hour.

Because The RKE is going multi-platform, a centralized location was needed so that all content can be found. Everyone who visits these please follow, subscribe and like to help grow my content. Thank you!

The website has been hand coded using Bootstrap 5, the latest iteration of the framework.

Merging feeds from multiple platforms is difficult, however thanks to http://rss.app I’m able to take multiple app feeds and combine it into a single large feed. The embedded code is easy to copy and insert.

The website was made using Visual Studio Code, and the icons on the site are provided by font awesome.

While this is a first generation of the site, and more features will be added. It’s nice to have all my content in one place.
