Kaku says that if it hadn't been for the war, he probably would have ended up like many of his University colleagues, working at the Livermore weapons laboratory at Los Alamos designing third generation hydrogen warheads...
...National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that Venus may have been covered by a shallow sea, 25 ft. to 75 ft. deep, 3 billion years ago. Data sent back by the Pioneer probe on its final plunge through Venus' atmosphere last October revealed an unusually high concentration of heavy hydrogen, also called deuterium, which can be explained only if the planet was once much wetter...

Hill helped clear up the confusion in the 1980s by carefully measuring the sulfur content of samples taken from the caverns. Her work proved that Carlsbad was carved not by carbonic acid but by sulfuric acid, produced by a reaction between oxygen dissolved in groundwater and hydrogen sulfide bubbling up from deep below the earth's surface. This highly toxic solution, which would have killed anyone present at the time, sculpted the many subterranean chambers at Carlsbad...
...piecing together the sulfurous origins of Carlsbad and other caves, speleologists have done more than satisfy scientific curiosity. They have also laid the foundation for some promising new ideas in oil exploration. Hydrogen sulfide, which is sometimes emitted as buried organic material decomposes, often appears in petroleum fields. Core samples of rock produced during drilling suggest that some oil and gas deposits are trapped within ancient cave systems that formed hundreds of millions of years ago. "So, about five years ago, some of us started looking in modern caves to see what they could tell us about where to hunt...
