Hi 196~
Just to note: Marie Curie's lab books cannot be handled without protective gear and are stored in lead containment boxes because of all the new chemistry she discovered.

Ehh radioactivity is squarely in physics
Leaving aside that chemical reactions can absolutely produce radiation, when you're on the cutting edge these things get blurry.
She did get Nobel prizes in Physics and Chemistry, so you're both right!
(not nuclear radiation, which is what curie was working with largely)
Always go with a flamethrower.
You don't want to get caught with inadequate firepower against an unknown species. Fire is the great equalizer.
Unless the thing you unearthed from the 15 thousands year old underground piece of ice from the north pole is a microscopic parasite that take months to show any symptoms and turn you into a zombie to spread. Then your just patient zero and we're fucked as a specie.
Can't take what we've made uninhabitable.
If the incubation is a few months, and it uses saliva to spread, then it's too late. Unless you mean nuking all earth and surviving undergrounds à la Fallout.
Who said anything about surviving?
This is about victory.

Now we're talking. You've got my vote for President of Earth.
Arooo!
Unless you just discovered Brown Mold. Fire just makes it worse.
Entropy reversal fungus, physics is in shambles
nah biology discoveries are always like "we thought this lesser spotted derpy pig didn't have big enough spots. turns out it's a new species" or "this protein turns out to be less curly and more squiggly when the fruit flies are having a lot of sex"
what about something completely new? Not just a bit different from what we already have
It’s a new tree or amphibian in the Amazon or a new cosmic horror in the deep ocean.
Most life isn’t trying to prey on the handful of species we directly rely on or us

Hello there, Sseth enjoyer
No, I am not a Sseth enjoyer neither want to even mention him in public.
I've only watched about 15 mins of their content, and they came across to me as alt-right. Do you not want to mention the name because of that? I'm just wondering if my intuition was correct. Something, when watching videos and reading comments, triggered my nope response.
Nah, I just discovered Sseth video after I got into ss13,but also yeah, sseth is mostly alt-right youtuber.
What's the stuff in the background on the right?
Either the cleanup crew rappelling down from a helicopter, or something new.
A person and a human sized fast food restaurant drink pole dancing. (Idk)
