Help Wanted - "farther still" & "as it turns out"
Dear People,
1) I have come across the words travel farther still in
"Recently a Standford University researcher, Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell,
discovered that an elephant's vocal call actually generates two separate
sounds: the airborne one and another that travels through the gronud
as a seismic wave. Moreover, the seismic version travels at least twice as
far, and seismic waves generated by an elephant stomping it feet in alarm
travel farther still, up to twenty miles."
Should it be "travel still farther"? Otherwise, what does it really mean?
2) About the phrase, "as it turns out": Can the expression be used in the
meaning of "however," depending on a context?
["however", depending on a context?]
I would be obliged if anybody would help me out solve the questions above.
