Since The Little Ice Age (or the Industrial Revolution) there has been a general trend to warming. For those that like linear trends, that means that eventually the oceans will boil. Others consider that there are cycles in Nature - specifically there are cycles in the amount of energy put out by our Sun. The Maunder Minimum is an example

Paul Are you suggesting that 83% of births are miscarried? I doubt that. A quick google shows this is an extremist far right anti vaccination film. Fact checking its data appears to show it is inaccurate. Yes, more people died during covid. Partially because it was a new untested set of vaccines. But what was worse, the relative few who have died after vaccination or those masses who died globally in hospitals without it? Loneliness and isolation probably made things worse. So what is happening? A big fat nothing. Doctors, scientists, politicians did their best in difficult circumstances.

I should have made it clearer the 83% miscarriage evaluation was in a trial done by a vaccine manufacturer. As I recall that was the manufacturer that proposed to a US court that it should take 80 years to release its test data. Meanwhile: "In 2020-22 there were 13.41 deaths in every 100 000 maternities, significantly higher than the maternal death rate of 8.79 deaths per 100 000 in 2017-19 and similar to 2003-05 (13.95 per 100 000)." www.bmj.com/content/384/bmj.q62So almost double the maternity death rate, taking the UK back to the level more than 15 years ago. Odd though that 1.3 billion Google hits on "sudden death"

So almost double the maternity death rate, taking the UK back to the level more than 15 years ago. A reflection of: 1. 13 years of austerity by the government. 2. Chronic underfunding of the health service. 3. Severe lack of midwifes. I don’t discount vaccines Paul, but the hard truth of the matter is, as I understand it, that mothers struggle to get anywhere near the same service nowadays. Same for all health conditions really. The biggest issue with covid was lockdowns and the effects on mental health, fitness, etc. Even our gp’s (family doctors) are leaving our health service in droves due to mental health issues from work pressures, lack of money, etc. our hospital doctors, both junior and senior strike over pay, that was unheard off. I think that there is even a shortage of epidurals. That’s what happens when you run a country as a business, and don’t value everyone. Our country is broken by darkness (money addiction, desire for and fear of losing power). Come on Paul, dig a bit deeper for explanations.

"It has recently been revealed that almost all major studies on Net Zero contain serious modelling errors, and thus have grossly underestimated the cost. ....The Royal Society, for example, assume that the cost of almost everything will halve, and the efficiency of almost everything will soar. It’s not impossible, but it is imprudent to assume that it will happen. If you correct the modelling errors, and use known costs and efficiencies rather than speculation about what might be available in 2050, you get a very different picture of the future." www.netzerowatch.com/all-news/new-study-warns-of-soaring-energy-billsCold countries need coal power stations in winter if they are not to give up electric cars Coal like oil and gas never runs out. Producers reduce output to maintain prices

Significant areas of Greenland’s melted ice sheet are now producing vegetation, risking increased greenhouse gas emissions, rising sea levels and instability of the landscape. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/13/flourishing-vegetation-greenland-ice-sheet-alarm-climate-crisis"... Greenland was named by the Viking Erik the Red, who landed in Greenland in around 983 AD with a small group of settlers. " It may be relevant to note that at that time grapes were being grown in England. It was a warm period. Now, as the planet emerges from the Little Ice Age, it necessarily gets warmer again - and grows more food plants

When I was taught science the official view was that radioactive decay was a fixed rate. That was obviously false as the rate is altered by heat, and as Wilhelm Reich demonstrated long before, by simple geometric forms alternating organic and inorganic materials. There are other methods not yet in the public domain At the height of the fire in Chernobyl, the reading was 3000 milliroentgens, which is a unit of ionizing radiation. And right at the height of the fire, many people observed a UFO come, stayed for 3 minutes, shone a light right at Unit 4 and departed,” she said. “They took another reading and it had apparently dropped to 800. Just in a few minutes. That seems like a very conscious attempt to remediate the danger caused by the malfunction there. www.vice.com/en/article/v7bxdx/why-do-ufo-sightings-keep-happening-near-nuclear-sites

It’s a pity that the story is carried by Vice (who do some great stories and videos), and not published by a scientist.
That said, why should UFOs over nuclear disasters be surprising?.

Hi Foxfires
It’s been a while hope you are keeping well.
You might be interested in Elon Musk’s Neurolink company. It’s now getting results.

As far as I understand it everything vibrates. As the wavelength diagram showed.

Here is an experiment in free will: decide that a nearby rock will cease to exist.
What happened?
What does that mean for the concept of free will?

What does that mean for the concept of free will? Being a thought and subject to my total will it is just no longer. If I pick a rock that is just outside and not just a thought it would require an immense scientific exploration into undoing matter. Perhaps black hole type of event, but even that it would still stand to reason the rock still exists although bordering a Schrodinger's cat scenario.
