i agree, odd attitude towards odd claimed discovery. There is a difference between ancient things, which have gaps between civilisations vs garbage we threw out the last 30-40 years and chose to ignore?
- phireal 9y agoThe 'new' aspect of this discovery is that we didn't know it was there before. I think that's a perfectly valid thing to call new. I don't think anyone's claiming the plastic is new.
