I found an old nature film on Internet Archive that was only released on VHS. Entitled "Lifepulse: A Natural Thriller" it is some amazing nature footage put to music. I highly recommend a watch. The mantis shrimps and the cuttlefish are really amazing. I love the music too.

What is consciousness.

If consciousness is at the quantum and atomic level, that brings me to thinking about "Be Right Back".
Can that Digi Ash replica become conscious over time and actually become Ash?

You don't mind me skipping from 0:45 to 10:45 to 26:45. Which saved me 25 minutes of my time 😋

Well the intro is important too. Gives the history of these specific food wares. So I would go 0:01 to 10:45 and then 26:45

Oh and don't worry nobody will be getting too much radiation exposure from the video. It's quite safe

This one should wet all your appetites

I watched this one last night and found it quite interesting.

Tonight's video I watched early

I had almost forgot about this. I think I already posted something about paraparticles.
This is an little expansion on that. Uploaded 3 days ago.

Heavier elements are only produced in supernovas, so all the heavier elements in the Sun and on Earth and other planets are all from previous suns that exploded. Everything in our solar system is recycled from ancient stars that lived and died.

Time (again)

[boredjedi]

When you had posted that link back in October, I kept trying to go there.
But the captcha was doing its usual garbage. I get that a lot.


This was the issue (scroll down a little)

The post you put the link I said I'd let you know when I got past the captcha

What captcha issue?

[boredjedi]

Throw out your black plastic spatula

I was checking to make sure I didn't post this next video below. And forgot about that captcha issue.
It let me through this time believe it or not. That's why it's either metal or wooden kitchen utensils for me.
Metal for iron pans and wooden for those Teflon non stick pans.


Biology

This one was from 3 months ago. I don't remember seeing it.
Another video that was in the recommended list

"DNA From Microbes That Survived Outer Space Protects Other Species Too"

Hmmm. That seems to contradict this study[...]

I'm going to end up losing sleep over all this

This one is good. Cites the scientific studies and has interviews with Guzey[...]

Wow, you guys are the best. I didn't expect to be challenged on this. Boredjedi, I've listened to both of the links you posted and I'm disappointed to find that Walker seems to be a bit more pop-scientist than I'd thought. I'm sorry to say I've fallen victim to the fearmongering criticized in the above video. I do shift work and regularly work all hours of the clock, and since reading Why We Sleep I've been a sleep hypochondriac. It makes me want to read it over again with a more discerning mind. I believe there is still good information in the book, and that more sleep and more regular sleep are healthier, but unfortunately it seems far from settled leaving me only with my opinion.

That's why I'm not too particularly fond with the terms science by consensus or settled science.
What I've seen is that it stifles debates. I prefer to say "as far as our current understanding now but that
might change in the near future".

Many things in human health would seem like they could be studied in a lab, but in reality, many conditions develop over years or decades and there is no way to study them under controlled conditions. Things like cancer and heart disease fall into this category. You can study short-term things in a lab, such as chemical changes that occur in a few weeks from doing various things, but really long term studies are always observational and not experimental and typically involve a ton of uncontrolled and/or unknown factors.

Well said. I think there is a wisdom in understanding how much science does not yet know. I sometimes see people treat a study as gospel or, conversely, disregard an opinion if there isn't a scientific article to back it up. Science involving humans in particular has so many variables it's almost infinitely complex. You could eat a perfect diet according to nutrition labels, but those don't take into account antioxidants, many vitamins and minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, probiotics, etc... not to mention your specific body and environment and how they all interact. There is still a lot in the world that is left up to ones own common sense.

Sorry to reply to both of you at once, but I thought you had overlapping (and excellent) points.
