I was under the impression that music was a universal language?

Yes, and sometimes the text adds to the Music...

There is a new paper out, as reported e.g. here about the way to read the data.

Another question:
I land my probe on the moon, haul out my grand piano and set my metronome to 120 (120 beats per minute). Will my Mozart’s “alla turca” be the same speed as Mr moonpianst’s, who has also set his metronome at 120?

Depends on how your metronome works, but for the most designs: yes.

It will sound differently of course due to the thinner atmosphere....(you won't hear a thing)

The problemsthat we have as a society with using up the raw materials and creating waste is well known at least since the 70's.

One step already aluded in the 80's was to recycle plastic material. The success is less than stellar. It works okay for pure wastes but even relatively small amounts of contaminants make the process unfavourable.

Now we have a new great headline:

https://phys.org/news/2024-04-co8322-biomass-path-environmentally-friendly.html "Using CO₂ and biomass, researchers find path to more environmentally friendly recyclable plastics"

In fact the research is interesting and original. But he labeling is grossly overstating the implications.

* Of course the stuff can be made and remade as long as it is pure. Even in the depolymerization the CO2 just resurfaces, so this is no way to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere. At best it can be temporarily stored.
Lignin is a waste product from the paper inustry and it would be good to have a use for that, but this also implicates that we can just go ahead as we do.

The point is: If we want to be more environemntally friendly we need to reduce our consumption, not replace with a bit less harmful products.

This of course should have hno place in the Science Forum...

I had played a player twice I think and was in my third game. I had been waiting on it because I actually had the game won in three moves. The player had a line though where his screen name was. The line goes through the word "Removed". Does anyone know why someone is "Removed". He had no subscription.


Standard member Removed It's not showing the line through the word Removed. They was around a while. I forget his screen name they took that out to.

you talk about Game 15629785?

You probably should take the timeout and be done with it.

a bit strong…but accurate

No it is not accurate. There has been the name of Palestine as a name for the area, so it is plain wrong to claim it hasn't.
