You can make these things in a lab. However Phind said "In summary, while scientists have proposed various models for how biological homochirality may have emerged, there is currently no known ex…

True but also the sheer number of people now trying to use it. Other factors include the difficulty of getting an appointment with the first call GP (once known as the family doctor) and the utter mad…

Presumably the 'nonsense' is the supposed link between the chip and MW theory. Let me add a recommendation for David Wallace's book The Emergent Multiverse - a highly persuasive account…

When we single out publications, let's ensure we're not biased against the Right or the Left. https://gatewayjr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Media-Bias-…

Perhaps because 'packing' kind of implies adding a few extras to what's already there. We can assume your conclusion is always true.

So the toxicity of glyphosate changes with time? That would be an interesting chemical property! I can see that there might be unusual presumably complex reasons as to how that might have occurred but…

You have a point! It's instructive to see what's happening in Britain right now where many people dare not take jobs or even join training schemes to improve their prospects - because they w…

I don't know enough to comment but can someone downvoting this please explain why they are doing so? Is it untrue, an exaggeration, something else or maybe simply an observation they don't l…

OK, you don't agree! But why?

Can you please give your reference for that definitive statement. And what are 'nutritional studies'? Why wouldn't they include the research that led to the list of nutrient recommenda…

My beautifully bound 1898 score of Mendelssohn's 'Songs without Words' picked up for a song (sorry!) in a junk shop, has the inscription "To Ethyl with love from Mother and Dad Aug…
