Of course machines could have done all that as well. And cheaper too. And if you did get unlucky and killed a few "best of the best" robots. It won't be a media disaster.
Apart from the cold, there is no atmosphere, so exposure to the outside will cause ruptures in the cell walls, with consequent death directly after. You body is a bag of water made of billions of bags of water: they will burst on contact with the vacuum of Mars.
Turns out that this is not the case. On the order of 90 seconds total vacuum should not kill you if you get recompressed. Our skin is not just for looks, but provides significant protection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
Yes it is. Unless it is sticking into a bacterial vector, it is hard. Hell in in vectors getting everything right so that *anything* works at all is hard. For more complex organisms, its just either does nothing (silenced DNA) or kills the plant. Getting promoters and everything right is far from simple or straight forward.
The point here is that the interactions of the systems we're dicking with are so complex that we have no possible way of even predicting the outcomes, never mind controlling them
If that were true. We wouldn't be able to put these genes in there in the first place. Just because it is too complex for you, or you are ignorant of what we can and do model. Doesn't mean other can't.
With topics like global warming, Scientist can do no wrong. When it comes to cosmology, every dipshit thinks they have the answer in 5 seconds flat.
You are wrong. If your weren't such a dipshit you would have bothered to read up on the data a little bit, and then you would know you where wrong before opening that mouth of yours.
There is as much evidence of dark matter as there is of climate change. Quite a lot. Just because you are ignorant of that evidence does not make such evidence disappear.
For a long time much of the community also didn't like dark matter... But as we collect more data, we get *more* statistically evidence that dark matter indeed exists. Dark matter is non baroynic matter that interacts with everything else with gravity only.
Such an electric field would be trivially detectable. The currents the electric universe would need would also be trivially detectable. And then on top of all that, the electric universe explains a very good approximation of absolutely nothing about the universe we observe (Red shifts for example but plenty of other examples)
You are in disagreement with experts. Like the IAEA.
Let me guess, LFTR have already done right? Wrong. It was a experimental reactor that did *no* breading. That did *no* in situ reprocessing. That didn't solve the corrosion issues, just suggested some things and on top of all that is still no fully decommissions. It was also tiny. At only 10MW.
As for TWR, well those estimates are from the company who wants to make them.
Read more serious articles and a little less LFTR fanboy sites and you would be a lot more informed.
The problem is not writing subtlety. It is other hearing/read it properly. In communication, when the goal is communication. Blunt is often the only way to be clear and understood. Your not going for the latest writing award you know.
Other than both have quite a lot of development work left. Like at lest 20 years or so worth. Sure. And there is no guarantee that they would be economical.
You do know that a polygraph test is bullshit. Your pass and fail is based on the charlatan running the test personal opinion of you. Casting lots, or reading tea leaves would work equally well. And if you fail. No Fed jobs for you. Ever.
Lucky for us, astrophysicists don't run or operate the grid. 10 years? Are you kidding me? How the hell is that credible? If that was true then it would have taken 1000 years to build the current grid. Only it didn't and most of the grid was built very very recently (Hint we use more power every year).
People, for the most part, are perfectly rational...
WTF? No we are not. If you think your the rational one, then your either a liar or deluded. I work in Science and just as an example, the campus Pharmacy does good sales on homeopathy products!
GP is a well known troll on this sort of topic. Mostly just makes up facts. For example he/she once posted that Three Mile Island killed tens of thousands of people. When it comes to his/her beloved Germany. Well shesh, the solar panels will need to work at peek power even in the middle of the night to even close to a angle o sphere claim.

Current evidence is not "slightly suggest", it is more like very nearly certainly impossible.
Of course machines could have done all that as well. And cheaper too. And if you did get unlucky and killed a few "best of the best" robots. It won't be a media disaster.
What the fuck is wrong with you people. Half the species have/will go extinct but it has *nothing* to do with oil.
It is farming and fishing.
Yea like anyone wants to discussion anything with an fucking gramma Nazi.
What Greenpeace opposes would fill a warehouse. Does any sane person listen to them anymore.

Gene splicing is not particularly difficult..

Really. That is the best you can come up with. Conspiracy theory by the people actually trying to build these things?
Magic Liquid Thorium people... sheesh.

In practice you get quite a bit of neutron capture gammas.
Activation radioactivity is many orders of magnitude easier to deal with than fission waste.

CME also drags a big bubble of magnetic field with it. That is typically what does a lot of the "interacting".

First of all: we already have the spinning reserves, that are the plants replaced by renewables.
If these "replaced" plants still have to be not just online but spun up, then they are *not* replaced now are they.
A good chunk of your CO2 footprint, is all that crap you manufacture/buy in/from China.
