arch1 science triviaI will from time to time post new things found and things of interest to me in the natural world. I will attempt to answer all questions to limits of my ability and reference. Nothing that advances knowledge off limits except personal attacks and things not suitable for a Travis forum. Please show basis for opinion expressed.

What Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” may be the key to unhackable communication;

In theory that should work ,,,IF it is possible to send quantum packets via satellite reliably. Not something to invest in right now IMO.

As I have pointed out before the vast preponderance of the biologic activity on this Earth is in the top foot of soils. More carbon is thus below the surface of the ground than all else combined, Even without counting fossil fuels and tied up in rock that is so. http://www.pnnl.gov/news/release.aspx?id=4395&utm_source=Google%2B&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=NB-Malak That is one reason that as ice ages warm CO2 is a lagging indicator, often by 400 t0 800 years. Cold soggy soils have little biologic activity but as they dry and warm up life swells in abundance. That is followed by rapid surface plant growth as CO2 levels… Read more »
There is no GOD particle. Why do I so say? Particles involve mass, quanta of mass. I contend that while any thing/mass may be made from energy, from there is a vast gulf of action. We have discovered certain Laws of matter and can to an extent predict events from causation due to law. Only matter, not energy is bound by that law. Energy does not exist in stasis and is eternal fluid except for the portion that has been made mass. Our attempts to measure energy are by measuring the actions/effects that it causes. To measure any thing you… Read more »
I have previously posted that experiences of a generation are somehow passed on,Re my observations. Following link seems to confirm that.
https://scienmag.com/worm-studies-investigate-how-grandparents-experiences-can-affect-our-genes/
If this proves true it would mean that adaptation of species occurs much more rapidly than previously thought, relying on mutation.
I posit that the genes responsible are already in all species and only need switched on or off. That would also account for how species supposedly extinct, mysteriously are found again, sometimes much later.
An old saying is that; the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. That is true in many ways. All of the accomplishments of humanity have begun with a woman who shaped a child while still in her womb to become what eventually brought any great thing. Various hormones released at the right times determine much of how the developing new human will change the world. The default when something is amiss goes toward the female side, which has the greatest genetic influence. The Y chromosome which determines maleness is comparatively much weaker and increasingly fragile. That is despite… Read more »

Ben Thank you for post. I would not rush to invest quite yet.
The last sentence of article says it all and they easily just toss it in.
The main problem: keeping the process going.
That may well have no solution as process is contained by a tremendous magnetic field and if breached to supply would allow plasma to come shooting out just like an H-bomb.

Chinese scientists have found a plastic-eating fungus
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/09/chinese-scientists-have-found-a-plastic-eating-fungus
Ben Yes plastics are hydrocarbons like we are and soil bacteria/fungi will digest and break them down. If buried deep that does not happen to plastic. and in the ocean plastics break up into evermore fine pieces, most of which float and are ingested by marine life with unknown consequences. Likely not good.
Here is a prime example of the scare tactics the carbon tax crowd has resorted to. It is overflowing with misrepresentation and unverified claims. If & when I find time I will try to dissect this example of mental
manipulation/masturbation.

Cobalt and tungsten key to cheaper, cleaner hydrogen
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171030134637.htm
The new sustainable catalyst ‘splits’ water molecules to obtain hydrogen and oxygen needs very low voltages to work, and avoids the use of precious metals like iridium.
