If you start with 22000 genes, and in each generation backwards, it halves until you are left with one gene shared, your identifiable genetic relationship with that line ends. in about 14-15 generations. This is how I understood it but could be wrong. Assuming a gene is some indivisible unit of heredity.
Interesting way of looking at

Nearly 6% of the Earth is covered in Lichen, which is testament to, if you get along, you'll be successful.
Some are symbiotes of three organisms: Cyanobacteria, fungus and yeast

Today I learned that “lichen” is also the name of several (rather unpleasant) skin diseases

adhesive glue this photos contains acid corrosive for electronics boards?
Does it.
You probably shouldn’t use it then
Maybe it is toxic, as well.
I think you should take them all to your local police station

I could ask them but I don't know the name of this type of bag with glue and tag for me to research
You bought it from them so it must have a name, part number or order number

I don't have the manufacturer's contact number I bought from a dealer
That is why I said "supplier".
There is no point asking here. No one can tell you about an unknown adhesive from an unknown supplier made by an unknown manufacturer.
At least you could ask the supplier whether the bags and labels are suitable for your purpose. Or ask who the manufacturer is, then ask the manufacturer if they are suitable.
The amount of time you have spent on this forum asking people who cannot know, could have got you an answer by now.

I would also suggest you make an effort to put your threads in the appropriate place. Moved to Suggestions, Comments and Support.

There was no discussion of that. It barely got a mention in your opening post.
Feel free to open a serious thread on the topic. But you might want to read up on some of the hundreds of projects doing this already, before posting.
Call me old fashioned, but I just think the combination of immature humour and ignorance is not the best possible start to a discussion of the science and technology involved.

Nature supports our childish game of assembling/disassembling things - so we are ever so easily jumping to the conclusion that everything is "made of" some elementary particles.
Why do you think this is “jumping to a conclusion” rather than, say, examining the evidence?

is this glue from the bag and the label acidic?
How do you expect anyone to answer that.
35 minutes ago, gamer87 said:I am not able to perform this test
Of course you can. Buy some litmus paper.
36 minutes ago, gamer87 said:but use the same type of bag and label as those that come with aliexpress products
If you are worried about corrosion, you could try putting dessicant (SiO2) in the bag with product.
But if you are using these bags and labels, maybe you should ask the supplier. No one here can answer.

what compound of this glue bag and glue label this photo?
How do you expect anyone to know that? There are thousands of adhesives in use.
Why do you want to know?
1 hour ago, StringJunky said:I happened to read not long ago that ordinary plastic is permeable to gas, and electronics that need to be stored for any time gas-free are put in that metallized plastic stuff.
I am not surprised. (Certainly more plausible than the adhesive being a problem.)

the glue compound this bag and label is corrosive for metal and electronics board?
Why do you think that? It seems very unlikely. Most glues are not corrosive. They may contain water when newly applied, but that would soon dry out.

How will the molecules on the bottom escape as vapours?
To give an even simpler answer: they get to the surface and then escape!
That may be too simple to be useful. But as you add heat from the bottom, it will cause convection which brings those molecules up to the surface. Also, as the fastest molecules at the surface escape, the average kinetic energy of the top layer decreases; in other words it cools and so will sink lower in the container.

I'm not actually sure about that.
Would it need to be stronger than a stone arch?If it is x times thicker it weighs x times more, but there's x times more stuff to hold it up.
That's a very good point.

To be fair, while "zero" is the right answer, it's not obvious.
Fair. It should be well known; but it is an extremely surprising result.
4 hours ago, BorisBoris said:What would be the gravity on the inner surface?
It would also be interesting to know what the strength of the material would need to be. Presumably, far beyond anything that exists in nature.

Locally it's pretty hardcore.. I read just yesterday, after Dounray reactor is dismantled, the land won't be usable for 300 years or so.
That wasn't a fusion reactor, though (which was what was being claimed).

I once learnt that in Wales there is a place which has one of the longest toponyms. There seems to be a Maori toponym that is longer.
How about a weekend in,
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu?
If that's too much of a stretch, you can always stay at,
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
I'm sure those are sentences in disguise!
Not forgetting Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in the USA (although I think some extra syllables were added to that one).
And, apparently:
QuoteThis name is often shortened as Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG for brevity. This is the name of a large community of villages in Wales found on the Islands of Anglesey. Initially, this community was referred to as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll before its name was changed in the 1860s for promotional purposes.

And the full version of Taumata translates as "the place where Tamatea, the man who had big knees, the climber of mountains, the slider, the land-swallower that traveled about, played the nose flute that he had to the loved ones" (ibid).

I have never heard of Octave, so not sure about this.
It is an open-source equivalent to Mathematica (and, presumably, similar to Maple): https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ (I have only used it for some basic linear algebra when studying ML)
There is an online version: https://octave-online.net
Otherwise, I would think Wolfram Alpha may be the best bet

Have you looked to see if anything equivalent is available for Octave? (I am not very familiar with any of these packages, so I have no idea)
Also, there is a 15 day trial version of Maple (but maybe you have used that up already 🙂)

The rules require you to provide the information here and just post a link.
But I would remind you that this is a science forum, so I'm not sure why this thread should remain open.

Zero, obviously.
Also, your link contains no evidence for the Earth being hollow.
