From a very young age, I was able to analyze and figure things out on my own. I was always looking for a better way to do something. While taking thermodynamics in college, the professor strived to make us think out-of-the-box. This caused me to look in a different direction when I got older and was told something worked one way. I always analyzed it in my mind to see if that made sense, and if it did not, I would figure out how it might be redesigned to work better. When I got to looking at how meteorologists thought a tornado might form, the science they professed just didn’t agree with what they were proposing, that a tornado was just a function of the thunderstorm. This got me thinking that there must be some other source of energy that creates a tornado as we never see any difference in those thunderstorms that have a tornado as opposed to those thunderstorms that do not have a tornado. This led me to research and discover how tornadoes form and then to find out how Vortexes form, and ultimately to understand how tornadoes and Vortexes have unknowingly been causing planes to crash.
