LOL at all the scientific vs religious crap above me. Half the people dont even understand what they're talkin about. Lets try and stay on topic yer? No flaming.

And err......wow. Lightning. In the same place. Big deal. Who cares. Maybe they couldnt be bothered to change it to a different place.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

Lightning rods.

And IF you knew anything about physics it is possible.

Wives tales are just that. Tales. Spun lies to make kids go to bed and finish thier dinners.

Go to bed kid, without dinner.

Also who said its lightning?

Maybe if you thought before you posted you wouldnt feel like the rear end of a donkey.

Maybe JUST maybe you would realize not everyone is going to read 5 pages of comments to look for your dimwitted attempt to make yourself look ok after making a stupid comment.

Not trying to be an flamer, but read the stickies, follow the guidelines.

This is it. FOR the last time. I KNOW IT"S A MYTH I KNEW IT WAS A MYTH. I tried to have fun but everyone decided to hate me. We need a new application process to use the forums where you have to check a little box saying. " I won't make fun jokes or I will be flamed"


That's why you make up you're own mark-up like [joke][/joke] or [sarcasm] [/sarcasm]....

Besides you should be happy.... You've united the Halo3 forum i a way very few ever can....And you got a reply from Archonos... Kudos...

the reason lightning doe3s not strike the same place twice in one storm is that the electric difference is equalized by the lightning. its the charges not being in balance that causes the lightning. the artifact would have very high energy levels, rebuilding the difference quickly. and also, technically, the bolts in the trailer go in the wrong direction (sky to ground) lightning actually starts at the ground and rockets into the sky, but its just a trailer, so it really doesn't matter.

Dude it probably has a lightning rod for gathering energy or protecting the artifact. Let my explain my biology teacher explained to me that lightning is lazy and it always goes for the highest point in the sky I'd go into higer detail but I do not have time rigt now mabey later.

*slaps head*

Oh dear god...

In an electrical storm, the storm clouds are charged like giant capacitors in the sky. The upper portion of the cloud is positive and the lower portion is negative

You know that electrons repel? Well, the negative lower part of the cloud causes the Earth's surface to become positivly charged by repelling the electrons on the ground, beneath the storm cloud.

The air then breaks down (ionizing the air around the cloud, which creates a path for the lightning to follow), allowing the 2 charges to neutralize, resulting in what we see as a lightning bolt.

As for the direction of the strike, lightning can travel from wherever the hell it pleases, to wherever the hell it pleases.

It can travel from Earth to cloud, cloud to Earth, or even cloud to cloud.

Where the hell do you live? Cause I can think of anyplace in the United States (your location on your tag) where someone wouldn't of seen lightining. I can tell you from experiance that lighting goes whichever way it feels like going (at least visually). And living in Florida my entire life has given me plenty of chances to witness it.
