Make: Online : Ask The Mythbusters

Ask The Mythbusters

Slashdot is inviting folks to post their questions for the Mythbusters - not sure if it's too late, but have at it! - "Who are the Mythbusters? Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are the hosts of a unique and popular television show on the Discovery cable channel. Working from a background in the special effects industry and shooting on location at effects warehouse M5 Industries, Jamie and Adam attempt to shed light on hearsay, rumour, and myth. Along the way they usually run across a little bit of science, too."... Link.

Love science!

I was watching a show about water displacement. Do you think by adding all these super ships the size of cities on the ocean we are raising the ocean level? fill a tub up with water and see what i mean! We have added so much to the ocean we can"t blame it all on greenhouse effects!I would love to see some thoughts on my hypothesis!
