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.
China Shatters “Spooky Action at a Distance” Record, Preps for Quantum Internet

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.

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.
#H20 – Plastic fibres found in tap water around the world, study reveals https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals

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.
