@ScienceBiker yes that is the one I was talking about. Hopefully it works in larger population!
at the minute I'm really interested in the synthetic meat that both Bill Gates and Elon Musk are funding research into, as a meat lover and someone who actually cares about the welfare of animals I would love for the product to become affordable and sustainable.
I remain extremely impressed with the LIGO detection of gravitational waves last year. This year they have observed gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars. One of the most exciting things about this is that we (humans) were also able to observe this event in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
If LIGO is able to observe primordial gravitational waves (the gravitational analogy to the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background that would be extremely interesting.)
All of this worries me deeply. None of it is good news for people, these are just more tools in the hands of corporate rulers of this world to exploit us.
Nothing wrong with living in a cave. Our ancestors did it for millions of fucking years. It’s only been the last hundred and fifty years that things have been going downhill, mostly thanks to ‘technology’.
Why live for a hundred years?
