Reply to comment by Shovi in Space dust from asteroid impacts could contain signs of living organisms that existed on their home planets by marketrent

The poetic reflectance of nature's preferred method of reproduction (chemical delivery of ingredients to other ingredients) is a lot to turn down in the absence of better theories. Plus, these compounds had to come from somewhere, and we can't find any mechanism for creating them on Earth before life existed, combine that with the fact that we've found literally every single building block needed for life, to exist on astral bodies outside of the planet... It's a lot to dismiss.

Reply to 8 out of 10 preterm babies suffer newborn jaundice. Therapy involves exposing the baby to blue light, however, there are no standard guidelines on the precise color of light, irradiation power and duration. Scientists suggest fluorescence measurement will improve jaundice testing and therapy. by Skoltech_

any chance that the wavelength and strength of light could be assumed from natural levels?

I admit to not reading the posted content.

it's a science article. they should be using appropriate terms, else how am I supposed to respect them anough to believe they have conducted proper science?

you can be fine with clickbait BS titles, that's all on you. doesn't mean that I need to feel or conduct myself similarly.

Charles Darwin ruined us all with the implication that evolution is driven by goals. it isn't. the most successful survive, that's it.

the fact that this disproportionately effects the male offspring sure would seem to imply an evolutionary disadvantage, so we can probably assume they have another major advantage elsewhere that overshadows this seeming flaw.
