Well.. didn't you say that it was found near a volcano? Maybe it's too hot and so they're lighter so as not to retain so much solar heat on top of the natural heat from the earth..

Science in my life
What is science to you?
Science, to me, is curiosity-gone-wild. It's wanting to find out how something works, how that works, ok, how does that smaller process work? It's also figuring out how far you can push the limit, or ... to quote daffy duck "What happens if I push the red button?"
It's interesting that it's a human's quest for knowledge that has given us (for better or worse) cars, cell phones, electricity (!), the internet... Everything we have and everything we use, even the food we eat has come from someone's want to know/learn/create--and that's science.
What technology do you use every day?
I use sooo much technology every day. I don't think all of it could fit here.
I use a bed, an alarm clock, radio, lights, locks, electronic unlocking device (key fob), vehicles, traffic lights, elevators, structures, computers, internet, calculators, pens, telephone systems...
I could include more, but really? Do you get the idea yet? =P
What math do you use every day?
I use math daily to figure out my gas mileage, remaining fuel, budgeting money for "fun stuff" vs bills, figuring out terms of payment/sale on vehicles (for my job).. all sorts of things.
