Not an expert but wondering why Methane was used as a precursor for the experiment since its an organic compound. Was the idea not to produce organic compunds from purely inorganic…

This article is badly argued. The point about the assembly line isn't the fact that people were turned into cogs but became much more productive, the point is that the benefits of …

Exactly, this is the way to go.

This is what I don't get about the patent system. It should not be about denying others access, but ensuring that those who use the patent pay their dues to the originator. Then no…
