Basically, the type of device that is needed is a device that records the peaks and troughs of a snowflake that has been reproduced on vinyl 12" in diameter. The recording device then runs over the plate and cuts the actual record so that that the sound of the snowflake is able to be heard.
This club have badges or secret codes/handshake?
May I join the Science Club if I tell how it is that the sky is blue?
The sky is blue because Earthâs atmosphere scatters sunlight. Sunlight looks white, but itâs actually made of many colors, and when it enters the atmosphere it collides with tiny gas molecules. These collisions scatter the shorter wavelengths of lightâblue and violetâmuch more than the longer ones like red. Violet light scatters even more than blue, but our eyes are more sensitive to blue, and some violet light is absorbed higher up in the atmosphere. The result is that, from almost every direction we look during the day, scattered blue light reaches our eyes, making the sky appear blue.

No secret handshakes or badges. Just whatever is going on in any of the science disciplines. While avoiding the comedy of cryptids, pseudoscience, or conspiracy theories.
Iâm a bit disappointed but I will get over it.
Now, as promised, the science of digestion for softer stools.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as dehydration is one of the most common causes of hard stools
Increase fiber intake gradually with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oats, or psyllium to add bulk and softness
Include healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, or nuts to help stool move more smoothly
Stay physically active, even light daily walking helps stimulate bowel movement
Go to the toilet as soon as you feel the urge and avoid straining
If needed, use a stool softener like docusate for short-term relief, not regularly
If constipation is persistent, painful, or new, consider seeing a doctor.
Very interesting video here which adds to the double slit experiment with surprsing results. time in the quantum realm is very odd. The split electron seems to know if it has been observed or not even if the observation took place in the past. very odd indeed. Enjoy. I got goose pimples watching this.
So the question now, what âmediumâ are two entangled electrons using to communicate?
Can we detect or use this âmediumâ ?
And this medium seems to demonstrate faster than light communication, once the observation identifier from the split electron is erasedâŚthat split electron has an effect on the result of itâs âtwinâ even though itâs âtwinsâ result was recorded in what we percieve as the past.
Sorry if Iâm not making any sense here, I am finding this very odd.

This from MIT June of 2025 Which while makes it clear that light is both simultaneously particles and waves. It still is a head scratcher to this layman how something can be both at the same time.

Short answer: light isnât either a particle or a wave; itâs something more fundamental that can behave like both depending on how we observe it.

Electrons do not they are being watched. That is utter nonsense.
Did you know that while traveling in space that you occupy the future, the moment and the past all at the same time but are actually occupying the past.
A ship leaving the Earth will occupy the moment, a Planck second of time. When the ship reaches light speed though and is traveling at the same speed as the light photon, the ship will occupy the moment, which is already the past. Even at the moment a light photon is created in a star, it is always the past.

Well argue with the those that study this and quantum physics says, it happens.. So if you can show otherwise. Please do publish your peer reviewed paper that shows it is nonsense. Because until then I am going with those that are qualified to study these things. That says, yes such thing happens. But until someone can add to the knowledge and advance science. Then this is going to stand.
As for the rest of your post. I would ask you to keep your pseudoscience over on your astronomy thread.
But here is what really happens when you get to the speed of light
Aside from your pseudoscience nonsense. The speed of light is something that is both the speed limit and an impossibility to attain. The best we can hope for is getting near the speed of light and that at the moment is still far into the future.

I think you missed the word know in your statement.
But is is very odd though, there are other experiments involving firing electrons into very very cold gas. What the observers noticed is that the electrons were seen leaving the gas before they had been fired into the gas.
This is a factual description of what was recorded, Iâm happy to be corrected if wrong but as for as I know this is actually what happened when the experiment was conducted.
now i understand light doesnât âexperienceâ time so I think this has something to do with the odd results recorded when observing. There are clear examples of time becomming confusing in the factual experiments being conducted.
Iâm still shocked that the âtwinâ of a split electron can still affect itâs other twin even though the result of the first twin was recorded before the other twin.
Re-watch the video I posted, something odd and mystical is definitely going on, based on fact it is believed light does behave differently when itâs being recorded or observed.
So light is classed as a variable?

Long answer:
Light behaves as both a wave and particle because it is best described by quantum mechanics, where physical things donât have a single fixed nature but show different properties depending on how they are observed. In some experiments (like interference and diffraction), light spreads out and overlaps with itself, behaving exactly like a wave. In others (such as the photoelectric effect), light arrives in discrete packets of energy called photons, behaving like particles.
What makes light feel like a variable is that its behavior isnât changing arbitrarilyâit depends on the measurement setup: the same light can reveal wave-like or particle-like properties depending on how you observe it. In quantum terms, light is neither purely a wave nor purely a particle; it is a quantum object whose measurable properties are context-dependent, meaning its observed nature varies with the way it interacts with matter.

What creature was discovered between life and not life?
Experts Discovered a Creature That Exists at the Fringes of Life
Currently named âSukunaarchaeum mirabileâ (after a deity in Japanese mythology known for its small stature), this entityâwhich the research team has concluded is a form of lifeâcontains the necessary genes to create its own ribosomes and messenger RNA, something your typical virus lacks.
Ribosomes are essential cellular machines, found in all living cells, that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into chains of amino acids, following the genetic code. Composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, they have a large and a small subunit, are not membrane-bound, and are crucial for building enzymes, structures, and antibodies, essentially powering lifeâs processes.
An evolved virus that wants to live isnât a good thing at all.
SM could be the developing precursor of the zombie apocalypse virus.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that carries genetic instructions from DNA in the cellâs nucleus to the cytoplasm, where ribosomes use it as a blueprint to synthesize specific proteins. Itâs created during transcription, acts as a temporary messenger, and is quickly broken down after its protein-building job is done, forming a vital link in the flow of genetic information. mRNAâs ability to direct cells to make proteins is the basis for modern mRNA vaccines and potential future therapies.
The âzombieâ label is largely a social media exaggeration or a metaphor used by science communicators to describe its âhalf-aliveâ status. Because it lacks most metabolic pathways and focuses almost entirely on replication, some commenters have jokingly called it a âzombie virus,â but it does not infect humans or cause zombie-like behavior.
People thought the same thing about Covid-19.
https://www.science.org/content/article/microbe-bizarrely-tiny-genome-may-be-evolving-virus
"Sukunaarchaeum was found by chance. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba were trying to sequence all the DNA inside of C. regius cells because the dinoflagellate was already known to harbor symbiotic cyanobacteria. Yet alongside the expected dinoflagellate and cyanobacteria DNA, and genomes of what may be bacterial parasites, they spotted a strange circle of DNA only 238,000 base pairs long, just 5% the length of the genome of E. coli. âInitially, we suspected this tiny circular genome might be some kind of artifact,â says Takuro Nakayama, an evolutionary microbiologist at Tsukuba.
But when Nakayama and his colleagues used several methods for sequencing and assembling the genome, they kept coming across this DNA loop. The team was forced to conclude that some other entity, seemingly an archaeon, was living inside C. regius.
With an apparent inability to live outside its host*,* and with a genome less than half the size of the previously smallest archaeon genome, Sukunaarchaeumâan as-yet-unofficial name inspired by Sukuna-biko-na, a small-statured deity in Japanese mythologyâis unlike any other archaeon known. It doesnât lay claim to the smallest microbial genome, an honor that goes to a bacterium that lives in sap-feeding insects whose genome is just 160,000 base pairs long. However, that record holder bacterium contains genes that code for making molecules that are useful to its insect hosts.
By contrast, Nakayama says Sukunaarchaeum lacks âvirtually all recognizable metabolic pathways.â That means it likely canât make essential moleculesâsuch as amino acids that make up proteins, or the nucleotides that make up DNAâon its own, suggesting the microbe has a âparasitic or unilaterally exploitative relationshipâ with its dinoflagellate host. He adds that like viruses, Sukunaarchaeum has a ânear-total relianceâ on C. regiusâs cellular machinery.
However, Sukunaarchaeum stands apart from viruses in one notable way: It can replicate its own genetic material. Typically, viruses must hijack their hosts to make more of themselves. But almost all of Sukunaarchaeumâs identified genes are involved in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Still, Nakayama says the microbeâs âintense focus on self-propagation, even at the expense of nearly all metabolic capabilities, resembles viral strategies.â
San Diego State University biologist Elizabeth Waters, who was part of the team that in 2003 published the genome of the first archaeal parasite, which steals from another archaea it grows alongside, isnât entirely convinced that Sukunaarchaeum is a virus in the making. âThatâs a bit of a jump,â she says, though âif trueâamazing.â Regardless, she says the microbe is âfascinatingâ and she believes Sukunaarchaeum will allow for exciting, fundamental tests of how genomes evolve.
Adamala adds that if Sukunaarchaeum really does represent a microbe on its way to becoming a virus, it could teach scientists about how viruses evolved in the first place. âMost of the greatest transitions in evolution didnât leave a fossil record, making it very difficult to figure out what were the exact steps,â she says. âWe can poke at existing biochemistry to try to reconstitute the ancestral formsâor sometimes we get a gift from nature, in the form of a surviving evolutionary intermediate.â"
Which again proves that biology is a shitshow. That just when someone thinks they have a good grasp on what something that has been described time and again. There is almost invariably something new under the hood. That no knew about till that moment.
Letâs leave such conspiracy theory comedy to The Walking Dead universe and keep to actual science.

Yes, a microbe âon its way to a virusâ (meaning a bacteria interacting with viruses or its environment) can be very bad, often making viral infections worse by helping viruses survive, infect cells better, or evade our immune system, though some interactions can be protective; itâs a complex relationship where bacteria can either promote or hinder viral success.
