Amazing Science Breakthroughs

Incredible Science Discoveries

It has been an amazing month for science:

  • Dutch company PlantLab has figured out how to triple the yield of plants using only 10% of the water typically needed, using a method which doesn't require any pesticides:


  • And for the first time ever, scientists filmed (from a spacecraft) a coronal mass ejection from the sun washing over the Earth. Watch the video (40 megs, takes a while to download; the Earth is the blue ball on the left)

  1. Some of the sting is taken out of scientific discoveries when we realize microbes were doing quantum physics billions of years ago, well before human existence.

    One wonders, then, why "they chose" to engage in a symbiotic relationship with humans at such a late date.

    Especially since human civilization is the greatest danger to continued existence of a healthy biosphere.

    It raises questions about whether scientists should blurt out so much in textbooks so quickly, then have to put them in the recycle bin all too often.

  2. Be aware of the long reach of Monsanto, as they will certainly regard PlantLab as the enemy of the good: genetically modified seeds. And with the law behind them, they can afford to be tenacious and relentless in their quest for monopoly.

  3. "One wonders, then, why "they chose" to engage in a symbiotic relationship with humans at such a late date."

    Difficult to imagine when you think it happened via an evolutionary random walk. But it makes sense when you think of it as a designed system.

  4. Let's see....PlantLab hails from Holland, specializes in getting more out of plants with less. They like indoor growing so there's no pests. And they can increase crop yield by a factor of 3. Anyway, knowing the great strides the Dutch have made to growing....less than legal medicinal type stealth plants for home medicinal type gardens, I'm left to wonder what kind of plants legal or otherwise were the Dutch working on here when these discoveries were made?? YOU DON'T THINK....nah that couldn't be....could it???
