Archaea, Bacteria / Humans
Let's ask it differently: of all the known prokaryotic pathogens, what percent are archaea?
-
Archaea, Bacteria / Humans
While there are so many detrimental bacteria, there are no detrimental archaea. Is it so? Why?

Extraterrestial life searching
Sure. But this scenario cancels the other consideration, "No knowing where we could end up in a billion years or so."

Extraterrestial life searching
On the other hand, if we all go extinct here on Earth, then 4 billion years of evolution will go down the drain.

Extraterrestial life searching
Ok, thank you. I will, with the help of the paper linked by @Arthur Smith.

Extraterrestial life searching
Thanks a lot. For many reasons, not the least of which is APD, I much prefer to read rather than to listen.

Extraterrestial life searching
When we find a promising but sterile world, shouldn't we throw some archaea there with a purpose to spread life?

Extraterrestial life searching
After 25 minutes he comes to the conclusion, "We don't know." Should I try the second video?

A Quantum Model having a Mechanism for Wavepacket Reduction (Revised)
OK, (3). I don't see any commonsense issue at all. This is how probability works. When I throw a dice, there are probabilities to get anything from 1 to 6. But as soon as I get 4, all other possibilities vanish at once.

A Quantum Model having a Mechanism for Wavepacket Reduction (Revised)
OK, ignoring (1) and moving over to (2). What does it mean to carry energy and momentum as a whole? As oppose to carrying them piece by piece?

A Quantum Model having a Mechanism for Wavepacket Reduction (Revised)
What does it mean? I didn't see this traditional premise of quantum theory

Mutation (split from The Selfish Gene Theory)
It doesn't answer my question, nor it offers a proof or an evidence.

Mutation (split from The Selfish Gene Theory)
Or else?

Mutation (split from The Selfish Gene Theory)
To save of what? from what?

Mutation (split from The Selfish Gene Theory)

-
Mutation (split from The Selfish Gene Theory)
The mechanism is accumulation of substitutions, additions, and deletions which occur during consecutive replications.

Perhaps that post referred to this, much older (IMHO, equally useless) suggestion: Hunting dark matter with DNA | Science News

Does a 4TeV particle at LHC weight more?
The free fall acceleration doesn't depend on mass because, in old terms, "gravitational mass" equals "inertial mass". Inertial mass is "relativistic mass". Since the inertial mass changes with velocity, for the free fall acceleration not to change the gravitational mass needs to change. Weight is the gravitational mass times the acceleration. Thus, the weight needs to change.

New study sheds light on origins of life on Earth
I guess they wouldn't generally eat each other. Rather for each kind the other kind would be just like other non-living natural phenomena -- wind, rain, waves, ...

New study sheds light on origins of life on Earth
Wouldn't it be very interesting to have two independent trees of life with opposite chirality with independent evolution and ecology on one planet. Any sci-fi writers around?

New study sheds light on origins of life on Earth
AFAIK all surviving life descended from three ancestors: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. There is evidence that both Eukarya and Bacteria split from Archaea. All is needed then is to strengthen this evidence.
