Zoom Physics -- Evolution -- War of Molecules - Part 1

OMG, I am the world's worst video presenter.  No wonder all the influencers of the world can produce crap, they do it so well.



I think that anybody, who knows physics, is doomed to be a nerd, and to have no people skills whatsoever.  I hope that the few people who see this can commiserate.  Really, if you are a kardie or trumpie you can destroy the world and get rich.  I'm so envious. 

I can have an open Zoom meeting with chat questions.  It would be neat.

Evolution assumed we'd always be covered in dirt

Reference


This is good for my 'Physics in Evolution' series which I may or may not have written.  Let's say everybody you know is rolling in dirt.  Then a tiny gene mutation causes a big reaction with silica.  Tada!  You have an advantage.  As long as you keep rolling in dirt, just like my dog.

When you cut yourself in the garden, push out a lot of blood, and suck the wound before you clean up and put on the poly-sporin.  The blood cleans out any infection and the dirt starts the clotting.  Yeah!

Let your little kids roll in the dirt, or get a dog who does it all for you.  :)

Pacific Westerlies Pushing Out Our Cold Air


Yeah, the Pacific plumes are wiping out the lump of cold air.


Look at at that feeble thing!  Push it all the way to the UK!  This is a new pattern, but I don't know how strong (and long) it will be, since it is not supported by ocean currents.  If we can remove the cold lump, and just calm the ocean energy, then we can go to static air weather.  May will be a nice Spring, a bit cold.  That's good because my cottage is closed until May 31.
