What is the scientist who studies the atmosphere?

There are two distinct disciplines the study of gases. Aerostatics is the study of gases that are stationary or not moving. It studies density allocation. Aerodynamics is the study of gases that are in motion. People in this field study the motion of air and how it interacts with solid objects.


If a tire is hot why does the air come out cold?

The decompression of air is an endothermic process. That means it absorbs heat. Air in a tire is under 35 to 40 psi of pressure. This pressure conpresses the gas inside the tire, so to speak. When you release the air, it rapidly expands and expanding gas cools the same as compressing gas warms up.+++Decompression is Exo-thermic! The pressure compresses the gas - err, well, yes. Compressing air means raising its pressure by reducing its volume; and if done rapidly also raises its temperature. The last bit is right: sudden expansion cools it.


What are the types of pseudoscience?

There are quite a few that are out there both in literary sources as well as in real life.Without diving into a shouting match between proponents I'll give a few popular fictional pseudosciences:Temporal Mechanics (Time Travel)Warp Engineering (Popular Faster-Then-Light Travel)Psychic Engineering (Building Mental Constructs such as Telepathic Blocks)Planetologist (Keynes from Dune, involves terraforming whole planets and establishing new ecosystems on planets.)Robotologist (Building artificial life forms and Artifical Intelligence)Xeno\Exo biologist (Study alien (off world) life forms)Solar Engineer (Omega from Doctor Who was a Solar Engineer)From the real world for a few, non-inflammitory sciences that came and went:Phernology (Studying bumps on the head)Eugenics (The science of breeding superior humans. Dangerously close to making a comback with gene therapy.)Freudian Psycology (where everything seemed to involve sex at some point. Absorbed into modern psychology).Greek Alchemy (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water made up the universe.)
