You might even consider that those constants aren't constant at all, but different for different places in the universe.
Hell, objects might even influence these "constants" like they influence gravity.
All things considered, it is good to have a tour-winner again who is not specializing in this event and does other courses too, unlike the specialist Lance Armstrong. The fact that he only competed in the Tour took the shine off his victories. It seems fairer this way.
Don't forget that this is an introduced species with as yet no predators and other natural systems which control a population. The Alaskan variety is part of an established ecosystem. The european crabs have as yet the seabed for them self. I can not think of a species that is big enough to pray on adults, but maybe on the eggs, if they are not carried around by mother (of father)
They reproduce quite fast, so they only need a short time to adapt to the higher temperature via natural selection. And as the sea-bed will go to waste, the presure to move south will increase, promoting adaptation.
It will be intresting to follow the process.
This keyboard reminds me of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum I used to have. Every key had 4 functions and could even conjure a complete BASIC command. So push p and the magic machine wrote PRINT on the television. Despite its magic rubbery keyboard it was no match against the C64. It only had 48K.
Ah, sweet nostalgia
I know that at thelast summer olympics the dutch field-hockey teams experimented with similar coolsuits too keep players from overheating. I never heard anything about health riscs.
Still, RNA is very unstable. Floating fragments in a sea of any kind would soon break down. DNA is more stable but still easily degraded. The change of the right fragment of polynucleotide surviving long enough to start live seems really, really small. Even if the specific fragment was fortunate enough to stumble upon a convienient lipid envelope. And then there is the "polymer factor". Even if the piece of RNA/DNA was several nucleotides long, the chance of them meeting up and reacting to form a suitable polymer seems very small.
I'm not a creationist/ID-follower, but the start of live from simple building blocks seem very, very small. But then, million to 1 changes are prone to happen;-)
