Rocks aren’t all born alike. Here’s one from an old glacial river running along the ice that once filled this valley. Note what a light snowfall has done here. The stone has […]
Gravity Engines
Síya? Arrives
In slow motion, Síya? berries are bringing themselves down to us. This isn’t a fanciful idea. They really are. It’s exciting to watch. The excitement mounts!
Gravity Mining and Capture
Look at this vetch, with its spherical black seed, poised to capture the energy from a small gravity drop and translate it into a burrowing hide under the vetch stalks and the […]
Catching the Earth Thinking Through Gravity
Here are some examples of how the Earth thinks without using human thought. Raising Water Without a Pump Great height can be gained by evaporative surfaces connected to water tension surfaces in […]
Gravity and Wind
So, this is cool. Snow falls, and that’s gravity. It stores the gravity as mass, and crushes the poor old mustard to the ground, the poor dear, sob, but, ta da! The […]
Defying Gravity
Water can pool on near vertical surfaces. If it has a little help. Moss transforming a vertical surface into a series of horizontal ones Bella Vista Hills A lake doesn’t have to […]
Gravity Waves
Today, gravity waves, and a gravity whirlpool, too! Amazing results happen when gravity is tethered. We stand between being spun off of the earth and drawn down to her molten heart. Nothing […]
The Okanagan’s Missing Water
Here it is. Blue Bunch Wheatgrass This 10-year-old re-seeded slope shows the likely historical condition of the valley under Syilx stewardship. This grass is very much alive. The valley hasn’t looked like […]
The Species That Hates Gravity
Russian olive making an arc against gravity. Turkey vulture making an arc against gravity. Human trail, making an arc around gravity at Palouse Falls. Red Osier Dogwood using a ladder of carbon […]
Blue Bunch Wheatgrass and Gravity
The blue bunch wheatgrass of the West, the signature grass of the Intermontane Grasslands, the beautiful one herself, stands straight and tall, until her seeds grow heavy and weigh her down, but […]
