First rocks recovered from Earth’s mantle!

For the first time, geologists have taken a sample of Earth’s mantle rock — and it not only contains some surprises, but may offer a glimpse into how life developed. “First rocks recovered from Earth’s mantle”: #science #sciencefacts #geology #earth

    Ho provato a sorprendere il mio partner con una colazione a letto. Era una cosa dolce, finché non ho rovesciato per sbaglio il succo d’arancia sulle lenzuola. Non c’è niente di meglio di una situazione appiccicosa per iniziare la mattina🌺

      They found them in the ocean and just said it was mantle rocks. Because we have never drilled that deep. Not even close.

    There’s no way they drilled it up cause of heat. How did they find it? Or did we unlock new tech to drill that deep?

    One, bullshit. We collect mantle pieces from lava bombs all the time, they are common in any area that had some explosive volcanic activity, it’s not the first time. Two, olivine is very common in mantle rocks, and this core sample was extracted from the sea floor, so of course it’s going to have extra magnesium present. Three, the only really thing interesting was how deep and long the core sample was, and it can shed light some some of the tectonic processes ove time. Four, the life supposition is just an offhand hypothesis on chemical composition versus hydrogen generation and remark for consumption as dumb science media for fools to justify why they would do this. Five, the principle of uniformitarianism almost doesn’t apply here for the chemistry aspects, because the conditions currently are vastly different from the Earth ~3.7 billion years ago when life is believed to have first started to form.

    Drilling into the mantel is as dangerous as fracking. But whatever. We stupid ants swarming the whole world might be experiencing the favorable situation of extermination our ant life.

    How? The farthest humans have ever drilled is about 1/3rd of the way through the crust. This sounds like BS

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
