Clouds

[ancientguardian]

Has anyone heard of the theory that clouds are held together by psi energy? I was reading some stuff on the net, and found a lot of articles referring to that theory. Anyone have any input to this?

Clouds are made of tiny ice crystals that freeze together (or something like that).

clouds are held together (somehow) with something to do with the surface tension of water, all they are is water just a gaseous form, they are warm, as everyone knows heat rises. It gets high enough it gets colder because there is less to pressure meaning it needs a higher heat to keep it in gaseous forms. Vouila

As well as the fact that there is less "other material" to go in the gaps it forms something like a vacuum the particles clump together turning into liquid the liquid is heavy it falls making rain. Voila rain.

Their are many theories on the exact series of events that creates clouds and in turn, rain that are much more plausible than, "Psi did it".

(Okay the rain was beside the point (but not against it) but I started to rant.)

That's an implausable theory. I mean, unless the Earth has some natural psi energy that it consiously uses (lol Gaia), then it would have to be some bunch of psions that have way too much time on their hands just sat there holding clouds together. It's not all together feasable.
