The Environment / Re: 7.7 billion people and counting: what can we do about human over-population?

To reduce the risk of overpopulation needs a system of education that makes our teenage children understand the consequences to the planet of overproduction and how it causes poverty.  They must be taught that 2 is enough if the family is to enjoy a high standard of living.
Government could try large tax reductions for women who have less than 3 children but really its about understanding that climate change is caused by overpopulation and not just CO2 emissions.

Thanks Zero,
Well, we obviously agree that global warming is caused by world population increases  https://www.google.com/search?q=worldometer+population&oq=world&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j69i59j35i39j0i131i433j0i433j46i433j0i131i433j0i433j0i131i433j0i433.7234j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

1.05% each year is 78 million extra mouths to feed and keep warm.

If increases in the global population causes an increase in the CO2 emissions then that will cause global warming problems that scientists must correct somehow, by carbon capture and sequestration.

We also receive H+ ions from the sun via the solar wind and also solar energy both of which can be absorbed and converted to matter by nuclear fusion in the core of the planet.

Well done Chris Packham for a super Horizon program on BBC2 last night. The World Health Organisation monitors show world population now 7.9 billion already up by 200 million    https://www.worldometers.info/population/   .
We need to plan ahead and reduce this increasing population to save the planet.  Here are some ideas
1.  Reduce childbirth by contraceptive pills and educating young girls to feel free, safe and secure if un-married.
2. Reduce elderly population by encouraging euthanasia for those who cannot look after themselves at home
3. Allow God to choose who lives or dies when He sends a pandemic to protect us from overpopulation.
4.  Have a world war noting that Chris sees this as negative as it causes a baby boom due to insecurity.

Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Re: What are the best answers for Corona statistics?

« on: 18/12/2020 19:03:08 »

From the beginning we knew the statistical result from the Diamond Princess stats where 3711 passengers and staff mixed together for 2 week before recognising that we had a pandemic flu virus19 on our hands.
Result 13 deaths and 712 infections who all survived out of 3711. So  13/3711x100,000=350 people will die per 100,000 most of them elderly.
Stopping our children going to school is a complete denial of their human rights, a total nonsense which only benefits the test drug manufacturers and does nothing to cure the virus. I.E. A waste of money and resources. People in refugee camps life a freer life than that?

Interesting idea. Have a look at this video

Can the OP draw a sketch of how the forces spin between the central proton and electron enclosure please.

Have a look at the website     https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/              This age profile clearly shows that people over the age of 60 and anyone with breathing difficulties should self isolate.  However, children need to go to school and workers under the age of 60 should be encouraged to return to work using a mask, if unable to get a 2 metre separation, as even if they are the 1 in 5 that develop a temperature and have to stay at home, only less than 1 in 500 will need to go to hospital.
NOTE   The WHO advice was that the global community should take precautions to limit the effect of virus.  Lockdowns were never mentioned by them.

QUOTE - What is uncertain at this time is how many will die

But we do know by looking at the Diamond Princess statistics on website    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/            Look at the cruise ship Diamond Princess as a reference point. The ship has about 2500 passengers and 1000 crew.  By now  all of these passengers will probably been infected but only 700 odd have fallen ill.  We can assume the remainder had a mild dose of the virus and survived it.
So the virus will on average cause illness in 712/3500*100=20% of the population of which the stats say 11 died.  Thus the virus will kill about 3 people per 1,000 most of them elderly.   
Note panic lockdowns will not affect the numbers who die but only extend the period over which they become infected thus relieving the health service beds fitted with ventilators. But we have already peaked and the NHS survived so why continue the panic??

New Theories / Is the sun made of antimatter?

« on: 26/02/2020 22:45:12 »

Well done Tommy, I think you are correct in your assumptions.  The sun/stars generate sunshine by nuclear fissioning of matter or anti-matter and over centuries lose weight and gradually fade to red dwarfs.  Where has all that energy gone?  Between the stars is a border where the incoming starlight balances the outgoing sunlight so in fact the energy must be going its own systems planets moons and asteroids of course.  So what are the planets doing with the energy ? Well we are not getting hotter so the inner core must be building up more complex molecules of matter and pushing them upwards into the lava which erupts in volcanoes and builds up the planet.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Why Does Venus Spin The Other Way Round ?...and other rotational questions !

« on: 20/09/2016 16:54:06 »

It spins because there is a magnetic link between planet and the sun/star.  Faradays law of rotation if flux/amps field is at right angles to the voltage.
