The periodic table is organized a very specific way. Why was that way chosen and not another way which might be easier to follow?

I know that leafs loose chlorophyll. But my question is why do plants use energy to produce extra accessory pigments usch as xanthophyll after they begin loosing chlorophyll. These pigments are what makes leafs look different colors. I understand the leaf falling off and dying, but why waste energy to change color first? What is the evolutionary force behind this adaptation.

According to conspiricy theorists the moon landings where faked. Who do they claim did this?

I belive they where real, but I heard that the only person who could have done it was Stanley Kubrik. If they where faked, was he the only one who could have done it at the come?

Anyone know of any good sites on this subject?

Thanks

An outside light we have used to cause a 'trip out' sometimes if it rained. I could find no sign of water ingress, so for safety I put the coach light on a two pole isolator breaker circuit. I also fitted an energy saving bulb. I then began to notice, when isolated, the light would flash on and off, about twice a second, but this decreased in frequency (the event) and eventually stoped.

Then after a gap of some months I noticed the same effect in our hallway, again a neon type bulb. When the switch is in the off position the bulb flashes dimly.

In reaching for the bulb to take it out, and before actually touching it, I was puzzled to find the light continues to flash, but at nearly full brightness. Withdraw the hand and the flashing again becomes very dim.

What is happening? Is this the AC somehow still making a circuit, (with the switch off yet somehow earthing), or is static involved? What is my hand doing to the bulb (or the bulb doing to my hand for that matter)?
