“Cloud Tsunami” Over Sydney

A bizarre meteorological event hit the coast of New South Wales, Australia over the weekend. Dubbed a “cloud tsunami” on Twitter, this massive wave in the sky measured several kilometers long and swept over the city of Sydney, bringing with it powerful thunderstorms, heavy rains, and forceful winds that required the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to issue a warning for the surrounding area.

The massive formation is actually called a shelf cloud, composed of arcus clouds. The shelf cloud is typically the leading edge of a thunderstorm, attached to the base of the parent cloud that contains the storm. The strange wave-like appearance is caused by the cool sinking air from the storm’s downdraft spreading out over the land, meeting the warm air being drawn into the storm’s updraft. (Source)

‘Tsunami stones’ are ancient warnings written on stone tablets, some over 600 years old, that lie along the northeastern coast of Japan.

Today, in things we never expected to be posting to this blog as serious technology: The Warp Drive.

Apparently, scientists at NASA have developed a mathematical model showing that true warp drive may be possible using practical amounts of energy.

This would make it possible to get to the star system closest to Earth in about 5 months.

Amazing.  Now, they must test it in the lab.

Your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother’s and yours. I dare you to do better.
