Can anyone reproduce the behaviour using off-the-wall ideas like elecro-magnetic forces as described by the Electric Universe people? I know they claim to have created self-organising galaxies by simulation purely with electrical forces. If they can, they might have another 'win' to add to their collection.

The current vaccine supposedly cause your body to produce the same spike protein as the covid-19 (sars-cov-2) uses, and therefore give your body a chance to mount a defense, and thus the creation of specific antibodies. Not that this is the full story, but the point I would raise is - given we're told the omicron variant uses different spike proteins, and there are over 50 variants of that - - surely this renders the current vaccines completely useless? Hence, the case number of people double-jabbed catching it. It is therefore a complete illusion to think the new variant can be defeated with the same vaccine.

Agreed. Quote: "There's lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics."
I bet the data begins from a point where there were no meaning numbers of vaccinated. The UK's ONS contains data from Januay up to April when there were only a very few number of people vaccinated, and yet they count hospitalisations, and claim they're full of unvaccinated patients (well, duh!) but using this as a statistic for the efficacy of the vaccine. Today the tables have turned. For August and September figures, 80%+ of hospitalisations are people vaccinated. In some wards 100%. But they don't report this in the mainstream, as they don't want to scare people into NOT having the vaccine. Biased reporting, basically. Media = propaganda.

I wonder why no one has watched the video? Or people have watched, but can't comment?
So here's one: If 80% of the UK's population are vaccinated (2+ shots) and the hospitals are full of sick people, and 80% of those are fully vaccinated. (currently, from ONS = office of national statistics) - it still begs this question:
If you're fully vaccinated, what do you have to fear from the unvaccinated, considering you can still get covid, and you can still spread covid, just like the unvaccinated? So I need no need for draconian measures like they're trying to bring into force in Australia. Where's the science behind that? Absolute madness.

If there truly was a consensus in science, then science has failed.
Without people thinking outside the box, there would be no progress. For example Nikola Tesla was told at university that it was impossible to extract a motive force from alternating current. Thank God he didn't listen, and gave us the 3 phase motor, along with a great many other inventions, discoveries, and innovations. Long live those who don't see things the same way as everyone else!
Vilification of a molecule essential to all life on Earth is madness. See that volcano still erupting in La Palma? How about ALL THE OTHERS around the world, erupting? https://www.volcanodiscovery.c...
Any idea how much and how many 'green house' gases they are releasing? It is a frightening amount, well beyond any human activity over months and years!

This study shows that vitamin C alone can reduce death by 50% as compared to a placebo. Can't get cheaper and safer than orange juice, right?

The sobering thought here, is that in the Westernised world your average person has very low levels of vitamins and minerals in their diets, and thus a weakened immune system. Most of us don't get our basic 5-a-day, which was designed during world war 1, and not for optimum health, but minimum viable health - that in a time where we didn't have nearly the pollution, and soil degradation we have today. So foods of today have far less minerals.

In short, malnurishment leads to weakened immune systems, and so something like a cold comes along, and we suffer far greater, and for far longer that we otherwise would have, if we had an optimally performing immune system.

people have short memories. We've developed vaccines in the past that have gone on to do unthinkable damage, and death. Only after the CDC/FDA regulation, distribution (and drive for profit) does it finally get banned. Here's one example right from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/previ...

We're human, we make mistakes. Our mistakes should not be hidden when it affects the lives of others, and even more so when you're talking about the public / general population. Vaccines should not be administered without telling the truth! In the UK for instance, our Health and Safety Execitive have admitted that more people have died of Covid after receiveing one or more jabs, than those who have not had any jabs. Does that sound like the vaccines work to you? But this fact burried in statistics would likely be removed from youtube, thanks to this fascist dictatorship by the powers that be.

You seem to have it all figured out. But have you considered that Bitcoin is a decentralised network, where as, as far as I know, nothing else is? The benefit being no one can own the network, only choose to be a part of it or not. Decentralised money in my opinion is more trustworthy.
You didn't cover that.
As an investor, I look at lots of crypo options. But as an investor I'm simply looking for trends, and where I can profit from. That's why so much money is heading to all the different crypto coins - it isn't because they are better or worse, its because investory are hedging their bets for a massive win.

Refreshingly sober point of view, I agree - knee jerk reactionary thinking is not reality. The numbers don't lie - unless you don't have all the numbers... The way inflation is measured in the US is really truly flawed. It allows them to hide most of the real inflation.
If you measure it as you did 30 years ago, you'll see inflation (more realistically) is about 20% or more.
Worse,the actual buying power of the dollar has been decreasing year on year for many years - its just that efficiencies in production and transport had continued to drive down costs at a similar rate. So the inflation you're seeing now (20%) is also because they can no longer hide it - but they can still lie to you! That's why they changed how they measure inflation. Look it up!

As for Bitcoin, this is a non-story in many ways. All energy production across the world has losses in the system. So many lights left on, heating, aircon, losses in transmission, and transformation. The need for contingency in the grid! So the idea of keeping the plant running at a stable level, and bringing the bitcoin mining online or taking it offline is not just acting as a buffer, but it allows them to profit from the mining instead of making a loss.

If I were the owners of the electric station, I'd throw all in! Mine to profit, and give the electricity away for free, as a bi-product of the mining. No one would complain about electricity getting cheaper as a result of bitcoin mining. Except for the pesky Co2 thing that people seem to get upset about. Hey, do you want electricity or not?

As much as I agree that Android is an alternative, its like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Most apple fans don't know how to use an Android phone, and further don't want to. Sadly, they're living their lives restricted to what apple says they can do (and paying more for it!).

I personally see this as an infringement of personal freedoms. If you want to download another app store, and trust a different app-store-app, that really should be user choice. Just like choosing to download content from one of millions of websites.

Developers should be free to choose what works best for them, the compaies they work for, and what ever business model they work against. In effect, apple is dictating how developers do business. Consulting is one thing, but dictation is akin to totalitarian control. Apple users have never really been 'free'. Its apple's way, or no way. Where's the 'competition' of capitalism? Is apple communist?

There is a difference, and that is, in nature, we tend to have random frequencies hitting us at random intervals for random durations. The introduction of technology to broadcast at specific frequencies (intended or not) means we have very specific kinds of 'noise' hitting up continuously at a given Hz (frequency). If those frequencies have a harmonic frequency that is close enough to a biological system, then you disrupt that system.

As you're aware, science doesn't have all the answers, and we certainly don't know enough about the human body to understand why some people are more sensitive to it than others. You're the canary-in-the-coal-mine for the rest of us. Just because most people are not suffering now, doesn't mean it won't be the case as we increase this bombardment in the future, with 5G and yet more tech, and oh, MORE POWER for homes and now cars, and that's set to increase rapidly. So really, the future is not looking good for many of us who already suffer.

There are items of clothing you can buy (and they're not cheap) that has silver woven into them, and can reduce EM fields etc, considerably. You might want to look into that - it just might help.

I first skimmed the first few paragraphs and asked myself - what does this have to do with 'new technology delivering power to electronic devices'. It didn't seem relevant.

So I read carefully the first couple of paragraphs. I then realised this was going to be a discussion on life philosophy, and allowed myself to skim over it, reading a bit from each area. In doing so, I can understand the notion of calling it Nationalist theory, but I don't understand why you'd throw 'white' in there, as it is not a white supremacist point of view at all.

I agree with this concept of focussing on the solutions, and as a software developer I'm faced with problems and asked to come up with solutions all the time - so this mindset is quite natural to me. But still, what's this got to do with the supposed discussion point?

Therefore, as my focus is on the discussion about the article, your points of view are not relevant here, and a waste of anyone's time. So,given your own point of view about focussing on the solutions and not the problems, - why then are you reading SlashDot at all, given all the news articles are about problems of one kind or another? Shouldn't you be focussed on moving towards your solutions, and taking literal action as you said, instead of posting in a forum about it?

So reluctantly, your actions are hippocritical to our own post, and I have to agree with the other reply, if not the wording, but the sentiment. The solution to this problem would be the removal of your post, so we can all focus on the real point of discussion. That would be a way forward.

Cover it in snow, and I'd never take the lift down again!

I smell a trough of money drying up, and a new trough on the horizon. Where do you think the pigs will go next?
It seems that 100 years of "science" has only brought us forwards in showing us how the universe doesn't work as we thought.
When a mathematician looks at a problem, they like to explain it with points (particles), because we can calculate them, and visualise them quite easily.
Hence, we acknowledge that the electromagnetic spectrum is a wave, but have cognitive dissonance, in that we believe light is a particle and yet it constitutes a small fraction of the electomagnetic spectrum. We might get over that with ideas like wave particle duality, but seriously, throw a stone in a pond, and tell a kid it's a particle because you're watching it. Children will laugh at you - so why do we believe such things to be true? I think some humble pie is in order for "science". I don't think we can have our Pi and eat it. Back to the drawing board, and before we move forwards, let's cover those fundamentals again. If we can't explain lightning for instance, don't even begin to think we can explain the solar system, let alone the universe.
