So that's why Ozzies like stuff that tastes like cats piss e.g xxxx and fosters

@Machpants actually listened to a podcast about that! Think it may have been a Nat Geo one, or was it

Giant reptile found âwell-preserved in belly of larger carnivoreâ
A giant reptile has been found well-preserved in the stomach of a slightly larger marine carnivore that lived around 240 million years ago.

Awesome
"The carnivore likely fatally injured itself while trying to consume the enormous meal."
Reminds me of:
Worth a crack Nigel.

âItâs not a smoking gun,â said study co-author David Clements, an Imperial College of London astrophysicist. âItâs not even gunshot residue on the hands of your prime suspect, but there is a distinct whiff of cordite in the air which may be suggesting something.â

@taniwharugby so three astronomers get on the piss and decide to search the galaxy for farts?
WTF were they drinking?

@taniwharugby so going on an earth timeline the atmosphere of Venus should be good for human habitation in about 3 Billion years

Mathematics proves you can go back in time and kill your Gran'pappy and not affect your future self!

I think someone forgot to carry the one. If you kill the person responsible for providing you your DNA, how do you exist to kill the person..?

@antipodean basically history finds a way to make it work. Yeah makes no sense to me either

I think they were trying to say the alternative timeline thing with that whiteboard session with Doc?
Makes your head hurt if you think too much on time travel stuff anyways

@stockcar86 said in Science!:
Explains a few people Iâve encountered over the years
I thought Neanderthals and Denisovans were separate species. If they can interbreed and produce offspring, isn't that the definition of the same species?
Horses and donkeys can breed and produce offspring. They are different species......
So can zebras and donkeys, creating the best portmanteau ever: zebronkey
Thereâs records of a tahr and a goat crossbreeding , not sure what you call them .
tahr-brushed goats?

David Sinclair â Armchair Expert
David Sinclair is an Australian biologist and professor of genetics at Harvard known for his research on aging and longevity mechanisms. David chats with the Armchair Expert on his field of advancing the age of an organism, the stigma around aging research and his existing accomplishment of reversin
I listened to the above podcast with an Australian biologist. He seems overly confident on what is possible in the future. He claims that our cells have a DNA recipe that tell the cell what to do. As we age the recipe gets a type of plaque which causes errors in the recipe which often leads to eye disease and a range of issues when aging.
They have found a way to reset the cells recipe to its original form, they have mice who go blind, they then inject the healthy recipe into the eye and use some sort of antibiotic to trigger the new recipe. The eye then repairs itself back to how it was when it was healthy. He believes in theory if you know the recipe you could reset the entire human body over and over.
My immediate thought was we could keep resetting the Goat and DC over and over. You would end up with one amazing fucking AB's team.
Obviously loads of questions arise from this technology and I assume the repairing of organs will be the first step. But you would imagine a huge demand from the wealthy if you could somehow reset your aging body to be 25 forever.

ScarJo and Ewan did this already in The Island, albeit using a 3rd party body.
Certainly modern medicine seems to indicate its possible to grow organs.
Its the implications of that, that are terrifying
