Are we alone; nobody knows. We are not aware of if we are unique in exactly the right circumstances occurring at exactly the right time. If the occurrences are commonplace, then numbers will be large, but so far, it’s been found that the earth seems to be of a rare type. A goldilocks planet, stable […]

In a previous article I referred to Covid-19 as the ‘Perfect Storm Virus.’ This was because the progression rate and mortality were not enough to elicit a major concern among the heath authorities of each country, but it was enough for it to kill a lot of people and spread fast around the world before […]

Fusion is a problem. The world probably has spent in the region of about a trillion dollars on trying to get it to work, so if anybody can do it, it already has a trillion-dollar deficit to make up in generated power. It will be clean unlimited power except for the all resources to do […]

I’ve been following the virus for 82 weeks now now. Originally I thought that it would be very limited, but that changed about 80 weeks ago, when the numbers began to rise and we found out more about it. A rough estimate is that the outbreak started out around october 2019 in the vicinity of […]

We hear a lot these days about how artificial sweeteners have detrimental effects on the body, but in most cases, they are taken at value rather than in a comparison to what they replace. It’s been found that similar taste receptors or their analogy have been found in other parts of the body, namely the […]

I have a bit of a problem myself. I came to the conclusion early on that my brain is wired differently to most people I meet and know. It puts me at odds with the mainstream, and probably is the reason I could be seen as less successful than my contemporaries. Is this good, bad, […]

I been asked a few times where I think everything started with Covid-19. The main favourite for this is Bats, probably Horseshoe or Pipistrelle. Viruses very similar to SARS, MERS and Covid-19 have been found in bats, and only a few in other types of creatures, at least not closely related ones. With MERS, very […]

All that we know about the past of Venus is that it is slightly smaller than earth, being about 95% of the mass, 72% of the distance from the sun, with an atmosphere that is about 100 times that of earth, mostly composed of carbon dioxide, and highly volcanic. Apart from this virtually all evidence […]

If you pre-decide something and close down discussion, everything is possible, impossible, likely or unlikely. But, in life you are defined by the choice of choices you will allow, or are allowed. It’s hard to work out the effects of a particle or force on another particle if you don’t know sub-particles exist, but it’s […]

In the first 18 years of the Eurovision Song Contest we never came last, and came first in 3 contests. In the last 18 years of Eurovision Song Contest we never came first, and came last in 5 contests. The number of UK viewers of the contest was 21.56 million in 1973. This year it […]
