If you have the gigawatts of electricity required to run the inertial fusion lasers, there are probably better ways to use that power to get around. Massive ion engines, or powering the pumps for a nuclear salt water engine, maybe, dependin

Doing this would (probably) create a drug which would work well in theory - and possibly in a test tube - but there's no guarantee that it would continue to work when put into the incredibly, vastly more complex environment of the huma

Some teabags either are plastic (which is generally fairly obvious) or contain plastic elements for re-enforcement or sealing (which is often not obvious) - these ones mostly just look like paper.

AFAIK, seaweed farming at scale is the best know way to remove carbon from the ocean - which is desperately needed to reverse acidification. Farming seaweed for food is good, but you have to build the market a lot too. Cattle feed and biofu
