At least we didn't sink it off the coast of Japan.
That would have been way foolish.
Standard procedure. Every time. If something MIGHT be involved in a crime, the first thing law enforcement is going to do is put that thing someplace where they can prove provenance. It can be annoying and law enforcement over reaches at time, but I have a hard time getting mad at the FBI for this one. Especially the field guys - they aren't doing the detailed forensics or anything, they are just their to make sure that the scene is safe and secure.
"The FBI doesn't have a sense of humor that we are aware of, mam."
Now, this is a theory, a thesis. It seems plausible, but you haven't advanced any data to see if it is indeed true.
This is precisely what these folks are trying to do.
Tunnels are expensive and cranky of maintenance. It's why municipalities don't build Roman-Era quality roads with 10 feet of grading and hand packed rocks that last 1000 years.
It's called a budget. An extraordinarily annoying concept.
It was there a minute ago! It's a conspiracy I tell you!
It happened just after they developed systemd.
The proposed sixth extinction event happened some 250 million years ago. I don't think the Unix epoch covers that range of time.
For those of the geological persuasion, 50 000 years is certainly 'right now'.
Go take a couple of graduate level courses in paleotaxonomy. Then perhaps an introductory course in logic.
Then get back to us.
Amazing. A nice little post about an interesting NASA probe and we get conspiracy theories.
I hope you're proud of yourself.
Effective immortality will be the most lucrative product ever.
Facebook?
God, I hope not.
What does Phil have to do with all this?
Just wait until you take your kids to the pediatrician.
Much beyond physics and straight engineering, this is what you get.
And I'm not so sure of physics.
Oh shut up.
First of all, if you even bothered to wake up in the morning you would see that chemo treatments, even 'cures' are very, very profitable. The MBAs running the pharmaceutical companies are way smarter than you are.
Next, it is a potential treatment, nothing of a cure so even Big Evil Pharma will be joyously happy.
Third, it's just a proof-of-potential, not even a proof of concept. Dealing with the protein effects of a single point mutation, AFIR, hasn't been shown to treat any clinical cancers. In fact, this seems to be a better fit for creating an antiviral or antibiotic than a specific cancer treatment.
