Best Answer

The kite was invented by the Chinese; Ben Franklin used the kite instead of using conductive rods to avoid danger. Ben strung up a key to the kite and the string used on the kite is kept dry to act as an insulator so that Ben will be less electrocuted while standing on the ground.

What make an experiment a controlled experoment?

A controlled experiment is one where two similar experiments are run in parallel, differing only in the specific intervention. A perfect controlled experiment is one where the experimenter does not know which arm is which, so is looking honestly for the outcome rather than looking for confirmation of an expected outcome. This is called blinding. In medicine, a double-blinded experiment is one where both the experimenter and the subjects are unaware of which arm they are in. Blinding is important where judgment of the outcome is subjective. An experiment on a pain drug will be highly sujective so blinding is vital; an experiment on an antibiotic may not need blinding as the results could be established by serum counts. The main function of a controlled experiment is to isolate other variables in complex systems. The most familiar kind is the standard drug trial, where a drug is compared, double-blinded, in a population which is randomised between the intervention and control arms - this is known as a randomised double-blinded controlled trial, and is required for drug approvals. The control arm may be a placebo (an inert pill), or it maybe the existing treatment. Sometimes multi-arm trials are conducted: new treatment versus current treatment and placebo. The book "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre has an excellent overview of controlled trials ad their strengths and weaknesses.


Are spells in Ben 10 real?

Well, yeah! As mentioned earlier, anyone is capable of performing magic (even Rook used magic in the episode “Charmed I'm Sure”). It's a skill not a power. Ultimate Ben even demonstrated to have learned a few spells in the Ultimate Alien episode “Ben 10,000 Returns”
