  1. I didn't "cite it", I worked that reaction equation out, in 10 minutes. I didn't imagine "P4" particularly on Venus. Where on Venus it's getting the phosphorus from is explained here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphine#Possible_extraterrestrial_biosignature Which suggests the chemical reactions - P4O6 + 6 H2O → 4 H3PO3 → 3 H3PO4 + PH3 Those reactions I am citing from - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_trioxide#Chemical_Properties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorous_acid#Disproportionation My point is that relatively simple chemistry will provide the explanation, nothing so complicated and unlikely as "life on Venus".
  2. "Unexplained"? How hard can it be? P4(g) + 6H2O(g) + 6CO(g) → 4PH3(g) + 6CO2(g)
  3. Hi Newbie here! I was going to post this in the politics forum but as a Newbie I don't seem to have the permissions I need so I will post here. I am a banned, as in excluded from university, science student. Well it all happened years ago - I am now 48 - and these days I have turned to political writing because that is at least possible to do on your own these days with the internet. I have a computer science degree from the University of Edinburgh (1982) and after working as a college lecturer and some time on the dole I came here to Aberdeen to do a post-graduate course in Information Technology (Medical Physics) - sort of IT people making themselves useful in medicine. Anyway that didn't work out and I had a big argument with the university staff and management and they called in lawyers and there were court orders banning me from the campus and gagging orders from the court stopping me from publishing leaflets and threats to put in me in jail for life for contempt of court. So anyway, after being condemned to the dole years later I thought I was getting another chance when I got to start a second science degree part time in Biomedical sciences at the other university in Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University but although I was top of the class in the first term I was excluded for being outspoken. Here is a page with some newspaper clips and other documentation about how the universities here have excluded me. Universities - http://scot.extroverthost.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=181#181'>http://scot.extroverthost.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=181#181 Anyway I just felt that similar warm glow of solidarity from my fellow academics here in Aberdeen as must have been felt by Jewish and political opponents of the Nazis as the Gestapo came to take them out of the campus and to concentration and extermination camps and they too were overjoyed about how the mass of fellow academics all sprang to their rescue - not. So here is a video profiling me these days and a few links to my website and forums. Well what I do it is not science mostly and I am not sure how effective I am politically but I keep myself busy all alone here in Aberdeen.
