Ditto Linda!

Eugene - you must be a very sad and lonely person if the only way you can get your kicks is to go on-line to post lies. You are pathetic, and you certainly don't have a Ph.D. in anything. The northern and southern lights have absolutely nothing to do with chromium, and chromium is insignificant to whether the Earth continues to exist. Actually, chromium (VI) is highly toxic.

The northern lights result from emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state. They are ionized or excited by the collision of solar wind and magnetospheric particles being funneled down and accelerated along the Earth's magnetic field lines.

You 'scales67' are the idiot!! Chromium is not highly toxic.

Chromium is an essential nutrient required for normal sugar and fat metabolism
and works primarily by potentiating the action of insulin. It is present in the
entire body but with the highest concentrations in the liver, kidneys, spleen
and bone.
There is even a Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), of 120 micrograms per day of Chromium.
It is sad to see people like you wasting space in these forums.

Um, "Dr" Euguene unless your stating that sugars, fats, my liver, kidneys, or spleen are causing the Northern and Southern lights....then I have to side with scales67 and say your first statement is a fallacy. Perhaps if you stated how Chromium causes the Northern and Southern lights instead of why it's important for our body then we all might not /facepalm when we read your comments.

Dr. Empty,

You must have bought your PhD through Fifty-Dollar-U prior to the 20th century, since you quite obviously are oblivious to what scales just tried to educate you about. C-VI is HIGHLY toxic & has been known to be since mining in the American West started heavily in the 19th century. Further, 6 forms of Chromium are known & listed carcinogens.

C-III, the only other type Chromium commonly found, is the one you speak of, but evidently aren't too knowledgable about. Yes, it is needed by the body as a trace element. 99% of people get ALL they need if they eat normal amounts of vegetables, meats, & bread. An over-intake of C-III is also toxic, just as C-VI. The symptoms are much less severe however, usually only skin rashes.

C-V is even more toxic, although rarely found in nature. However, the human body provides a perfect laboratory for the strong oxidizer C-VI to leave deposits of C-V on anything it can touch, which will sometimes lodge in the kidneys, intestines, & lungs. I know that will be confusing to you, but basically it means you've got problems then.

Just one other bit of knowledge for you that you are lacking. There is also an RDA, RDI, and/or DRV for Sodium, Vitamin K, Selenium, Zinc, Fluoride, & Potassium. ALL are toxic in elevated doses. The human body also seems to need trace amounts of Arsenic. Tank up good on that & tell me what happens. And finally, one of the most abundant & necessary chemicals on Earth can kill in a variety of ways ... H2O.

NOW you have a bit of info which can help you EARN a TRUE PhD. Hope that company who sold you that piece of paper on your wall has a money-back guarentee. I doubt it though, probably don't even exist any longer.

Don't bother replying, unless you just like having conversations with yourself ... which actually wouldn't surprise me. I don't enter extended debates with trolls. Adios.

Saw them 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids!

So, because you couldn't see them in Nevada. There is no way anyone else in the US, could see them, or take photos of them, that makes perfect sense.

I dot have a book enlighten me ........

RANGER RICK, some people find peace, joy, and understanding in their Bibles. Not everyone interprets current events as consistent with events in The Revelation. Storms, heat waves, epidemics, pandemics, wars, floods, and famine are ALWAYS going on somewhere. We are not living in unusual times except for our population and our technology. In other words, there are more of us than ever, and for the first time in human history we are able to know the news from nearly every remote corner of the world almost instantaneously, so we find out about the famines & floods that have always been happening in all the other places, where we DON'T live, and occasionally where we do. Let me know if you see a beast with a hundred heads or a hundred hands or whatever it is. Otherwise, I'll be over here relaxing and enjoying the wonders of the universe, like auroras.
