    Nobel Prize for Chemistry - 2026.

    The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 was awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai "for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis." Some molecules, such as amino acids, exist as two variants that are each other’s mirror image. However, living organisms...

    Possible plague (Yersinia pestis)

    With Russia or China nothing is certain. This is the sad reality.

    Black Death - killed tens of millions of people

    Obviously because all these 'Stan" countries get heaps of visitors from Russia. These Stan countries were the old Russian bloc. Also many young people from Stan countries work in Russia.

    Black Death - killed tens of millions of people

    Yes.. It's traced to the Lake Issyk-Kul area in Kyrgyzstan close to Tian-Shan mountains. That's as far as the science could go based on archeological evidence. The plague first started in 1347 and carried to other parts through the ships in the Black Sea. This wave extended further and the so...

    Penumonic vaccine තියෙන එකම රට

    Not only Israel there are a few doing research. A vaccine for pneumonic plague is not exactly a priority because of it's low incidence and hence economics come into play. Even the University of Texas group has a vaccine that's broadly effective which has been tested against normal mice and...

    Noah's Ark Documentary - The Search for Noah's Ark - With Subtitles

    The flood story is long before the Genesis. More than thousands of years ago the Sumerians & the Baylonians have the same story written in their tablets in cuneiform. Instead of Noah, the Sumerians had Zisudra & the Akkadians had it as Astrahasis (meaning very wise) A 3700 year old tablet is...

    There was another program similar to this. I think it was called "You Asked for it". It was telecast when colour TV first arrived. The presenter was a well known guy but I forget his name now. PS: Correction. "You asked for it" is a US production. But I was referring to Dr Magnus Pyke and he...

    Cars don't stop if Start/Stop is pressed while at speed. Only if it's already stopped and at rest, the Parking brake is engaged and the engine stops. Also it will do this if the speed is low, say less than 5 kmph. Above this it shifts to the N and you need to apply brakes yourself to stop. Some...
