"Both types are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds." Maybe they've been laboratory made all along?! Lol

It doesn't really do that though. Its like tracing servers back to North Korea or Russia. It certainly allows someone at a glance to think they know what they are doing, as if 3 le…

"Let that sink in for a moment. The researchers, in the name of academia, decided to commit flawed code (that would, in turn, introduce other serious issues) into the Linux kernel,…

Ever seen a plastic bag blow across the road? Or a cat cross the road? Or a roadworks barrier blow over in high wind? Or traffic lights be broken and stuck on red? Or a branch fall…

Legitimate research and information is stifled by MSM, Twitter, etc. Billions of comments deleted from youtube, accounts struck off or suspended - how can we even observe the scale…

Of course your eye is a sensor. As are all your senses. The difference is that the input it receives is unmediated by external sensors and software. Visualising atoms or DNA is fin…

Yes, look at all that squashed DNA, lol. Seriously though, how do we know that is DNA? It just looks like wiggly worms. And the DNA pic is black and white, but the picture of graph…

You don't think there's a difference between what you see with your naked eye, and what is visualised for you by sensors and software?

Perhaps this is a water filter advert: "Using activated carbon filtration devices (like Brita filters) can help reduce TCE in drinking water" But really, how could they possibly na…

"A dance of “glorious and strange beauty” took place in a wintry garden in the south of England on January 6, 1614." So specific!! And that's just the first line! Is it just me, or…
