going going gone
people who rode in horse and buggy must have been astonished to see the first auto mobile imagine how people reacted when a picture projected on a white screen started to move and then make sounds New invention often seem strange until we get used to having them around. And then they are replaced by even more advanced invention . Edison in his laboratory in new jersey in a world that used torches candles and gas lamps for light it must have seemed like a miracle to flip a switch and see a light go on. That miracle was due to Thomas Edison and his incandescent bulb. As electricity flows through the bulb a wire heats up and start glowing producing light. The inlandscent which people have been using from years is slowly being replaced by more energy saving florescent bulb that lasts about 10,000 hours or 10 time longer than the incandescent. New there are led based bulbs that give off warm yellow glow The bulbs use very little energy and last about 50,000 hours if they burned 24/7 they'd last for almost six years.

The largest natural crystals in the world are the cave of Crysals in Mexico. some of the crystals are 36 feet long and weigh up to 55 tons. A combination of high temperatures and water with a high mineral content help make the crystals grow extra large. The cave was accidentally discovered by miners. Water was pumped out so the crystals could be studied but the crystals will not continue to grow without the water.
