    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

So, is it possible for a human body to burst into flames without warning? The similarities between these cases have lead modern scientists to fascinating conclusions.

Let’s launch our garbage into the sun!

Ummm, no. Earth is messy. So can’t we just send our junk somewhere else? Aside from the moral quandaries raised by such poor stewardship of our already disheveled solar system, Earthlings probably haven’t made a habit of beaming literal garbage into space yet because we simply can’t afford to.
