  • Fact Check: Rail Gun Physics Does NOT Prove The Earth Is 'Missing Curvature'

    Fact Check

    Does a rail gun's ability to "hit a target 100 miles away in a perfectly straight line" prove that the Earth is "missing curvature"?

    Fact Check

    Do potential methane emissions expelled by wild bison populations compare with levels expelled by domestic cows in the U.S. and beyond?
