Mammoths to be reintroduced to Colorado amid concerns they could get wild

Some researchers have argued that mammoths’ extinction allowed for a spike in North American wildfires because the grazing behemoths were no longer around to hoover up dry grass and vegetation through their trunks.

Honestly that seems like an awful plan.

If you are going to create a new time reference, make it on a common factor for at least the solar system. Otherwise, you have to repeat for every celestial body. That will quickly get confusing and rather unmanageable.

I only said that because I ******* hate the time change associated with daylight savings time

I meant the plan listed in the article. I agree on the dst stance.

I can’t wait for the mammoths gone wild videos.

Scientists have achieved record breaking temperatures within an ‘artificial sun’ reactor, marking a major advance in the development of nuclear fusion energy.

The new world record saw a ball of plasma sustain a temperature of 100 million degree celsius – seven times hotter than the core of the Sun and nearly 20,000 times hotter than the surface of the Sun – for 48 seconds.

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) in Daejeon, South Korea, were also able to keep the plasma stable for over 100 seconds, which is a critical element of harnessing nuclear fusion as a source of energy.

Often referred to as the ‘holy grail’ of clean energy, nuclear fusion offers the potential to provide near limitless energy by replicating the natural processes that occur within stars. It requires no finite raw materials like fossil fuels to operate, and produces no toxic waste like the nuclear fission process that powers commercial nuclear power plants.……

Scientists have found that tardigrade proteins can slow down metabolism in human cells, an advance that could one day lead to technologies that slow the ageing process.

Tardigrades, or water bears, are one of the world’s most indestructible life forms, showing the ability to survive extreme conditions.

They can survive being completely dried out, frozen, heated to over 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150C), irradiated several thousand times beyond what a human can withstand, and even survive the vacuum of outer space.

Previous studies have shown that these creatures, measuring less than half a millimeter long, can enter a vegetative state to shield their bodies when exposed to extreme conditions.…..

Now a research team led by the University of Wyoming (UW) in the US has found that the water bears use proteins that form gels inside their cells to slow down life processes.

When these proteins were introduced into human cells, they discovered that the molecules gel and slow down metabolism, just like in tardigrades.…….

Scientists may have found the key to slowing down ageing - thanks to tardigrades

Findings also suggest tardigrade proteins can be used to stabilise pharmaceutical products
