  1. I believe it is use for treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID but I hear there some controversy of the drug.
  2. Can some one here explain how chemical compounds make up billions of chemicals? And why only 1% have been found and it takes a very long time to find new chemicals? Only 1% of chemicals in the universe have been discovered. Here's how scientists are hunting for the rest. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we've only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove greenhouse gases, or trigger a medical breakthrough much like penicillin did. But let’s just get this out there first: it's not that chemists aren't curious. Since Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev invented the periodic table of elements in 1869, which is basically a chemist's box of Lego, scientists have been discovering the chemicals that helped define the modern world. We needed nuclear fusion (firing atoms at each other at the speed of light) to make the last handful of elements. Element 117, tennessine, was synthesised in 2010 in this way. But to understand the full scale of the chemical universe, you need to understand chemical compounds too. Some occur naturally — water, of course, is made of hydrogen and oxygen. Others, such as nylon, were discovered in lab experiments and are manufactured in factories https://www.livescience.com/chemistry/only-1-of-chemicals-in-the-universe-have-been-discovered-heres-how-scientists-are-hunting-for-the-rest
  3. I'm wondering if there will ever be anti-viral drug or treatment for Covid or the flu? I hear one of the problems with Covid or the flu is it keeps changing all the time so I don’t know if a anti-viral drug or treatment would work with different variants.
  4. Well they say by figuring out the exact structure of a protein could sometimes take years and millions of dollars. Why does it take so long to study proteins or the exact structure of a protein? They also say it takes millions of dollars and very long time and meaning scientists were only able to study a tiny fraction of them. This slowed down research to tackle disease and find new medicines. Why does it take so long to find the exact structure of a protein?
  5. Not sure how having access to more news is making the news not balanced as I don’t think there even been balanced new is always been liberal and conservative.
  6. What causes food intolerance and food poisoning? It seems food poisoning is more common in developing countries for some reason. I guess other suffering is food intolerance and food poisoning as some people can get really bad food poisoning.
  7. I think some people wanting to go back to the 90s mean the way LGBT and abortion was in the 90s than the way it is today. Well the more extreme religious folks want the 50s. Not sure what you mean by news as in the 90s you did not have social media like today. Was there ever time CNN and Fox news was balanced?
  8. Also is there also some medical problems that are just really cruel and terrible? I can think of parkinson's disease or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Also dementia and alzheimer's seem to be suffering. So is the sun? You can’t look at the sun it is bad for your eyes, you need sunglasses, you can get a sun burn and very much so people when it is very hot and in hot countries can get really bad sub burns, sun seems way too strong, sun UV is bad for you as you can get cancer, The weather on earth is not the best as people complain of heat waves or it too cold. Well people get too hot if it is above 27C or 80F and people complain it too cold with out putting on a jacket and long pants when it gets below 18C nor 64F and people complain of bitter cold when it is 2C or 35F and some people have even worse intolerance. It seems the planet is too alien for people and better planet would be better.
  9. Is it just an interpretation that it has probability area, it could be some where here but you cannot measure it or sure where it is, only a general areas where it is? What evidence do they have it shows it is probability area than say it being every where and when you measured it than it breaks down to point? I guess the idea you learn in school that particles are like small little Christmas balls are not really true and particles are more like cloud spread out. BUT the interpretation how cloud is spread out or how big of area is the problem.
  10. I’m not sure what they want may be they just want to go back to the way things where in the 90s and the extreme groups want to go back to the way things where in the 50s.
  11. The world seems to be set up as you are born and get eaten by some thing than die and you only alive for short time. Well going back to what you are saying a virus or bacteria killing a human being or big animal or if they are just lucky get really sick. But then a poisonous plants could kill human being, your dog or any large animal. So the world is in state of being born and dying. And than many fruits and vegetables are only alive for short time the same with plants
  12. I assume you talking about animals killing other animals or people killing animals.
  13. I have not read all of the thread but I hear on talk radio some people saying if Trump gets in that will be the last election the US has and others say a civil war could happen. But it seems the GOP has been moving more to the right every year. I also don’t know if things like abortion and LGBT is really the problem or some thing else? I don’t know if the democratic party took a more centrist or right view on LGBT and abortion if that will help or if there are some other driving factors at play here.
  14. I'm wondering why there is so much pain and suffering in the world and how do you define it as one person may experience pain and suffering but the other person not even with out people looking at animals there is pain and suffering there.
  15. What do you mean by how neurons analyze them self?
