Synthetic embryos grown from stem cells don't need sperm or eggs
We are not there yet, but this is certainly proof of possibnility. We really can grow new human organs on demand if we simply do this. To soon to say just how fast this can go forward, but obviously at some point we can place an embryonic organ into the body and allow it to grow toward maturity and then be shunted online. this allows the diseased organ to be taken offline and either healed or even removed. The take home is that full organ replacement with your own organs has become plausible and will become future go to practise. teeth are coming soonest, but the rest are now ... read more
Heart disease from red meat linked to certain gut bacteria metabolites
Curiously, i already had come to this exact conclusion years ago when i was dealing with my own heart disease. a daily hamburger is as dangerous as a daily scotch if not more so. The problem is doing it daily because the damage needs more than a day to fully reverse. otherwise a weekly beef meal and a dtrink is perfectly safe because all damage is long eliminated by the time you go again. Then add vitimin C to set things right. Nice to see the science in print. . *Heart disease from red meat linked to certain gut bacteria metabolites* *By Rich Haridy* *August 02, 2022* *Met... read more
How can we improve soil health in potato cropping systems?
This is actually a really good question. Traditional potato growing and harvesting is completely built around turning over soil. The hills are built and the potatoes planted and actual harvest is built around lfting the hill and shaking out the soil. in fact the best first crop to put down on newly turned over land is hte potato for this exacxt reason. The next crop can be your enture garden. The fact is that the majority of garden plants need clean soil in order to prosper and when that is not possible, we now use plastic sheeting to induce that sterilization. Plastic sh... read more

Powdered sodium battery design promises a 15% leap in energy density
This at least matches current energy density which is good but really tells us that we are getting better at miling these powders.

The larger battery systems can obviously engineer in a battetry heating pack which might even be a propane heater. However, the lower the treshold the better. most cars need a heat source and this is better supplied by burning hydrocarbons and using the waste heat to sustain internal battery temperatures. *Powdered sodium battery design promises ... read more

Bertrand Russell, “Three Passions”
*“Three Passions”* ”Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my ... read more

A Note on the Indian Dark Age
Poster of the 1952 movie Anand Math Like the Europeans, the Indians too had their Dark Age, which extended from the tenth century (the rise of the Ghurid dynasty) to the eighteenth century (the decline of the Mughal dynasty). The Islamic rulers had conquered a significant part of India, but their face was always turned towards the Arabian desert. They did not assimilate with the Hindus; they did not become Indianized; they never overcame their nomadic and militaristic character. In this Dark Age of eight hundred years, the Hindus became disconnected from their ancient philosoph... read more
