To Grey Goose: This could have been a scientific project from a school. We pay our taxes for children to go to school to learn. Some of these so called “young people” may become scientists one day, and learning and experimenting like this may save lives in the future. This wasn’t being ridiculous, they had to get the equipment, figure out the methods of lava and ice, take notes, and much more. I wouldn’t be so quick to jump the gun on this experiment.
You want to talk about wasted tax dollars, what about what our government and what they are doing to our senior citizens and if you don’t have health care insurance you will be fined. What about those seniors and teenagers that can’t afford health care. Because of the damn government laws, I got hit by a truck, had to have two knee replacements, a pinched nerve in my sciatica, concussion, in the hospital for a month, bed ridden two years before the surgery, and guess what? Medicare and my attorney is taking anything that is won from the law suit and I’m still suffering since 2009. The hearing is in 2014. AND I’M GETTING NOTHING FROM THE LAW SUIT. MEDICARE AND MY SECONDARY INSURANCE PAID FOR THE TWO KNEE REPLACEMENTS AND MY TIME IN THE HOSPITAL, DOCTORS, NOT PRESCRIPTIONS, NOT THE THINGS I NEEDED AT HOME. NOW I’M IN DEBT, HAVE HAD NO FOOD IN THE HOUSE FOR TWO MONTHS, AND NO ONE HERE TAKING CARE OF ME. NOW THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!! USING MY TAX DOLLARS AND I GET NOTHING FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING, NOTHING. SO THERE IS A LIEN AGAINST MY HOME, I HAD THREE YARD SALES AND AN ESTATE SALE, JUST TRYING TO KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER. I’M SO DONE HERE TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR COMMENT.
Very cool!! I loved the way the lava became reflective as it cooled. I would’ve loved to have a hunk of it after it was completely cool, of course. It would make beautiful jewelry and art.
Would have been nice had we been told the purpose of this display … can’t imagine it would have anything to do with stopping volcanic eruptions. Since one of the principle investigators was a professor of sculpture, perhaps it is a foray into a different method of sculpting.
Ruby, the reason I mentioned volcanoes was because of the question posed by Freddie Alvarado. Other than that, it would have been very beneficial if they had given the reason for their experiment, as you said.
When Mt. Saint Helens blew, it was covered with snow. it melted the snow, caused a pyroclastic (sp.?) flow, and destroyed EVERYTHING in its path. It’s an interesting experiment, but snow can help cause further problems, not stop the flow of lava, plus the lava during an eruption, doesn’t come out in a drizzle, it comes out in huge amounts, nonstop.
It’s a nice experiment, but not very realistic.
If indeed this was to stop volcanic eruptions, (and I hope this experiment proves it), then you would need a tremendous amount of ice to get to many volcanoes. Truly interesting. Good luck in your endeavors to stop future disasters at least with volcanoes.
I saw this experiment, and I am assuming it was an experiment in eliminating volcanic eruptions in the future with active volcanoes! I do hope this can work and stop the dissaster of the volvanoes. Wish you all success in your endeavor”

Just another example of young people using my tax dollar for what???? Ridiculous!!!

Valcanos have been around ice and it keeps comming so not sure why they did this. That girl sure was some talker tho. lol
