I wonder is anyone even allowed to try to do something useful with the waste on a large scale, or is it so regulated ala Schedule 1 natural plants / fungi that research is only able to operate at a snail's pace?

Even if Chernobyl would have had a containment vessel, what would have been the best case scenario? I'm not an expert but the blast threw the multi-ton slab of steel and concrete lid into the night sky, surely the containment vessel wo

Name one prominent scientist who is on record (and has tenure) who holds the position that the origin of the big bang as taught today is un-scientific. Of course there are Christian scientists, but Academia only promotes and gives tenure to

The opposite has been true for many decades now. There are many Christians who are extremely capable scientists, ready to perform experiments, document cause and effect and all manners of empirical scientific study but can't find work

Foolish. Very foolish. Allowing tech companies with no regard for public trust or public institutions set up their own "justice courts" on sovereign soil is about as crazy of a thing as I can imagine.

There have been attempts at harvesting plastic from the ocean. I remember one fairly recently that built a system using crowd funding but I don't think it was as successful as hoped. If they keep trying I have little doubt they'll

Companies that attack and manipulate 1A to their advantage in every place they hold power have no reason to support 2A, that's definitely true.

AS I understand it, Quantum computers as of yet are only useful for a relatively small set of obscure operations. They're extremely fast of course, but they're not a drop in replacement for basic gate operations that classical com

In the early 2020's it's apparently fashionable to claim you support democracy by only supporting those you agree with politically. I can understand only donating to one party, but not for the ridiculous reason Google has given. T

But look at Global Foundries now. The article does suggest that Intel's spun off fabs would need state funding to survive but is that really tenable for the long term? Is that TSMC's secret thus far?

I won't dispute that. Imagine if there was some AI that could discern "truth" in an unbiased way, I bet it would have many interesting (and enraging) things to say.

I despise this practice. I ran into it recently with the LOTR 4K Bluray set. I was going to leave a 3 or 4 star review, since while it's fantastic, the image detail is hardly an improvement over the standard bluray version, with some c
