This is the 8th ad… I cannot
X o,
Something you can include in next months video…. A 15 year old developed a soap that can help treat skin cancer!
Mate, melt down resistant nuclear plants already exist. You just need a large negative void coefficient if the moderator is burnt off. If the moderator is the coolant and the coolant is gone, no moderation takes place and the reaction drops because the neutrons are too fast for bonding and an accelerating chain reaction.
Apart from that basically all small research reactors are meltdown proof. My uni has one. The problem with those is that they are not as efficient because they don‘t get as hot. But the technology existed for a long time.
Soooo glad to hear that you’ll never retire. That makes my heart happy ❤
After a long time of watching and listening to videos like this, I've found you can believe how much you want to. Most of these claims are total false, just something made up to put in a video.
Science has always fascinated me, and I soak up all I can.
Believe what you want, dismiss what you want.
16:38 “…it’s possible that this event [a change in climate due to interstellar hydrogen] was some sort of catalyst for hominid development…”
Well, okay, so maybe the standard monthly review video of new scientific discoveries might not be the place to go into detail about one of them but you really have to say more about “this event” possibly being “some sort of catalyst for hominid development.” Like, how? Don’t leave us hanging! 😂
Let’s genetically engineer this moss to thrive on mars and seed it. Green mars in our lifetimes
Moss breaks down rock and adds organic matter. You could have this growing in domed sections with little to no resources but the domed while it conditions the soil for better plants that require more resources later.
I don't give a crap about what China is inventing. I didn't know you were a communist
10:35 I've read that the estimates put the Wrangel Island mammoth extinction suspiciously close to the earliest known signs of human presence there.

Do you think number 1 should be added in some form to the Drake Equation?
Tip: set to 1.5 speed to make it sound like a normal person speaking.
Pebble bed reactors (at 2:25) have been around for years. (I think they were developed in Germany first). It IS an interesting design, and is “melt-down proof”, but they did discover a problem that the pebble-bed could “resonate” (ring like a bell) and overheat under certain circumstances. I haven’t heard anything further about this, but I think they had addressed this, but by then the public associated Pebble-bed reactors with “dangerous.”
The most exciting news is about how China has developed a safe or at least a much much safer nuclear power plant and hopefully the world will realize this is probably the fastest and safest way to a clean environment and a sustainable future for mankind
Honey is disturbingly tasty, because of how bees make it.
Very much do enjoy these monthly review of scientific discovery as it helps us keep up to some degree with scientific research and astronomical scientific progress in all our busy life’s.
