I have never heard that causality slows down in a medium. I understand the use of "speed of causality" to refer to the speed of light in a vacuum, and while I'm aware that light slows down in air, water, etc I'm not sure it has ever been shown that causality itself slows down. My understanding is that also light slows down just because it's captured and re-emitted by other particles. Though I would be happy to learn something new if my understanding is wrong.
That said, the OMG particle stuff was very interesting, thank you for sharing.
I see that putin's trolls are becoming more articulate. But anyway you are just saying that inaction is the best reaponse, and that's been proven to be bullshit.
President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....
I don't think so, not necessarily. It means that the existence of russia stops some countries from doing some things, if you remove russia, those countries will not be counterbalanced anymore
The more varied the sample of individuals you can afford to keep alive in your population, the more chances you have that a subset of them will be able to withstand random changes in the fitness function. If the environment changes abruptly, you will have a hard time adapting as a species if you only ever supported people "within the norm". What happens in those cases is called extinction.
The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...
You don't understand, this new pesticide consists of tiny leaflets with stories so complelling the insects cannot stop reading them. They are literally (not literally) glued to the page.
edit: and yet the leaflets would be made of chemicals and in the long run would be harmful

Let's say that you vote for trump and even just ten more people die because of his measures: ten people more than with the less aggressive contributions from the democrats. At that point you have directly participated in killing those people. You can find all the excuses you want but that's the crude reality.
If you say that voting trump means stopping the genocide it's clear that we are not having an honest conversation. You are a troll and I'm not wasting any nore time around you.
In that case maybe your heart is in the right place but that's still not a reasonable solution, as de facto there are only two choices and voting for neither or not voting at all is not helping when the risk is enabling a totalitarian regime that literally plans on killing people and eradicating hard-earned freedoms.
