@Rainmaker1973 If you want to do the same: donate to this foundation in Finland. "The Natural Heritage Foundation uses donated funds to buy old forests ..... for permanent protection in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act."

A billionaire bought a logging company in the Amazon rainforest just to shut it down.
Swedish-British billionaire Johan Eliasch has taken a bold, hands-on approach to fighting climate change, shifting from business leadership to direct environmental action.
In 2005, he acquired a logging company in Brazil, gaining control of approximately 400,000 acres (1,600 km²) of Amazon rainforest, which he immediately dedicated to preservation by halting all logging operations. This decisive move transformed a potential deforestation site into a protected carbon sink, safeguarding biodiversity on a vast scale.
Eliasch's efforts extend far beyond this landmark purchase. He founded the Rainforest Trust, which has helped protect millions of acres worldwide, and co-founded Cool Earth in 2006—a charity that empowers indigenous communities to conserve endangered rainforests.
His influence reaches policy and sports: he advised the UK government on deforestation (authoring the influential Eliasch Review in 2008), and as president of the International Ski Federation (FIS) since 2021, he has driven sustainability initiatives, including committing to the Race to Zero campaign to halve winter sports emissions by 2030.
Eliasch exemplifies a rising movement among ultra-wealthy individuals who deploy private resources for immediate, impactful climate solutions—bypassing conventional channels to deliver tangible protection for the planet's vital ecosystems.

@SamaHoole Are you sure that there is still fish in that sea? Pollution and overfishing are true reasons why seas around Europe are empty
English
1958: a British fishmonger had cod, haddock, plaice, sole, herring, mackerel, sprats, kippers, smoked haddock, eels, oysters, mussels, cockles, whelks, brown shrimp, and crab on his slab. All landed within the week. All from British waters.
2026: a British supermarket has tilapia from Vietnam, salmon from a Norwegian feedlot, and a tray of "white fish bites" of unspecified species.
The North Sea is still there. The boats are still in the harbour.
Somewhere between 1958 and now, the fish stopped reaching the customer.

@MichaelAArouet Count how much family with 2 kids pay in USA for education, child care and medical insurance. Compare to France. You get more for money in EU with smaller salary.
English
This is eye-opening. A fast food job in the US pays significantly more than AI developer jobs in France or Germany, which have higher salaries than most other European countries.
Europeans simply don’t notice how poor they become compared to others. Choices have consequences.

@PhysInHistory Shortly was one year, Landau almost died in prison. Kapitsa saved his life taking huge personal risk.
English
Mug shot of Soviet physicist Lev Landau, ca. 1930s. Landau was imprisoned by Stalin's NKVD for comparing Stalinism to fascism and Nazism. He was released shortly afterward due to the protests of his colleagues.

@GeniusGTX It is a pity he did not adertised it well enough. It is first time I hear about it.. I would also have real issues with visa to enter UK. As a tine traveler I would have difficulty with documents. But you are doing good job by increasing his chances to get visitors.

@itchdoctor What prevents cheaters from entering fake data into your blockchain? Honest researchers will remain honest , dishonest will remain dishonest. Find a way to employ real scientists and they will do their job.
English
Every experiment needs to be logged in the blockchain and then released publicly upon submission. Manual custody of data is a relic of the past. Physical lab notebooks are dead. I can give specific examples of how recent events have exposed the absurdity of this. Manual peer review is performative. Closed peer review is no longer needed.

Can water intake prevent Alzheimer’s disease? No. This is fully AI-generated… but the data below could easily pass as real. The new ChatGPT image model is truly impressive, but I think it poses a real risk for scientific integrity in future. For example, I could just generate a dataset with a single prompt that appears to show something like water preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Ironically, we used to laugh at obvious “AI slop” (like those weird generated mice), but that’s changing pretty fast. If I were reviewing this fake figure today, I’m not sure I could reliably tell whether this figure is real or AI-generated? The bigger issue is that the usual signals we rely on e.g., how realistic or plausible something looks are no longer enough. I think we really need more comprehensive AI detection and, more importantly, stronger verification standards for scientific submissions going forward. We’ll probably also need better ways to digitize lab notebooks and ensure access to raw data, something closer to how code and version history are tracked...

What do you think existed before the Big Bang?

We teach that agriculture 'began' in the Fertile Crescent.
But it also began independently in China, New Guinea, Mesoamerica, and the Andes - all at roughly the same time.
Why did everyone suddenly start farming at once, after 290,000 years of not doing so?

@rust_ruslan No control measures will ever stop fraud. There is only one way to prevent fraud,tgat is by hiring honest scientists.

@JonathanLevitt7 Kasparov was youngest world champion when he took over Karpov. And, yes, Magnus is still strongest now. Ask him why he dont want to play for the crown.

What has happened to chess? When I retired over 20 years ago, Kasparov (in his forties) was world number one. Now there are two children about to play for the world chess championship...

Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt called it “lunar hay fever,” and every person who walked on the Moon experienced some kind of reaction.
The symptoms included sneezing and nasal congestion, and in some cases, they lasted for days. Inside the spacecraft, the dust even smelled like burnt gunpowder.
Lunar dust contains silicate, a material also found on volcanic planetary bodies. On Earth, inhaling silicate can seriously damage miners’ lungs.
Moon dust is especially dangerous because it is as fine as powder but as sharp as glass, and it was abrasive enough to wear down spacesuit boots and ruin the vacuum seals on Apollo sample containers.
Because the Moon’s gravity is only one-sixth of Earth’s, the tiny dust particles can stay suspended longer and travel deeper into the lungs.
Some of these particles are far smaller than a human hair and can remain in the body for months.
Scientists still do not fully know the long-term effects, but research suggests that prolonged exposure to lunar soil could damage lung and brain cells.

@DineshDSouza She is the best country leader of past decade. Worldwide.

This is a truly frightening speech by a person who is both stupid and evil. I’m happy to hear she was chased out of New Zealand and now lives in disgrace in Australia. She’s a freak, not of nature, but of modern progressivism.

Was Einstein wrong?
What happened when a student challenged a genius?
At the end of a 1930 conference in Liège, the president of the German Physical Society thanked Albert Einstein for his speech and turned towards the audience, asking for any questions.
In very rude German and with a rather surprising manner, a young man stood up and boldly pointed out a mistake in something Einstein had written on the board.
Everyone was shocked, but Einstein wasn’t mad. He looked at the board carefully, then admitted Lev was right.
He even erased everything and started over, and said, “The observation of that young man over there is perfectly correct. I therefore ask you to forget everything I told you today.”
That intrepid 22-year-old was Lev Davidovich Landau, destined to become the Soviet Union’s leading theoretical physicist—one of the greatest geniuses of all time.
