Flowers, there are whole “food production” technologies that can make edible materials for humans and related species. Taking wood and stems to make alcohol for fuel, there are industrial and sustainable industries to make sugars, starches – pretty much whatever you want. Perhaps what you are struggling with is “Is photosynthesis necessary?” or “Do

Now Queegle Multitask had a girl-friend Freena, and Freena reminded him constantly of his promise to take her to the Moon for a week in orbit there. The rates were cheap now, because after the initial glamour of “orbit the moon”, everyone realized that the synth was better, cheaper and much more convenient. Synthetic experiences

Patrick Piantadosi @ptpiantadosi any calcium imaging folks have a good pipeline for correcting (or otherwise dealing with) rather severe motion in 1p miniscope recordings? https://pic.x.com/dr3cmdmywy Replying to @ptpiantadosi Many groups use registration, stacking, “lucky images” and “flow”. It is growing fast, and nearly impossible to follow completely. I label it as a “solved problem where

Ricard Solé @ricard_sole Are there universal laws driving complex systems dynamics across scales? What kind of general theory connects fluctuations in microbiomes, rainforests or economic and urban systems? Check this @PNASNews paper by ashish george & @Jp_odwyer @sfiscience https://pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2215832120 https://pic.x.com/dmvk3i2qls Replying to @ricard_sole @PNASNews and 2 others My Comment: Yes, all have legacy human systems

Also, on your website there is no obvious link to YouTube, nor Twitter(X), only Facebook,and that is at the bottom of contact us page not obvious. Do

I have studied the gravitational energy density at the earth’s surface since about 1978. Just after Joe Weber told me to read all of Robert Forwards papers. g^2/(8*pi*G) is roughly equivalent to the energy density of a magnetic field of 379 Tesla. I know that the gravitational potential field is turbulent at small scale and

Rejecting cookies now costs money. Is this even legal? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy_bZhKAUgc The “our way or the highway” has been around for many years. But in recent years, particularly the last year or so, more sites are using cookie challenges that allow “set preferences” with “reject all”. I have been tracking the Internet for the last

Today there is theoretical research on waves with frequencies from quectoHertz (1E-30 Hertz) to QuettaHertz (1E30 Hertz). Practical measurements are roughly from nanoHertz (1E-9 Hertz) to YottaHertz
