Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2018, —PaleoNeonate – 13:48, 29 December 2017 (UTC) |
Hello Dennis and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Could I just draw your attention to the latest changes on the Exoplanet page. User: Fdfexoex (who seems to have a rather poor history) deleted a properly referenced para with what appeared to be their own personal view. I have reverted back again, asking that they refer the changes to the appropriate Talk page. However, they have reverted back again, without reason or comment. I have no intention of edit warring on such a small subject, but would like your view on whether this is worth taking further? Best, David, David J Johnson (talk) 11:06, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Advice on vocabulary not including regarding electronic cigarettes/vaping. Is is useful for wiki to offer descriptions of what a Rebuildable Drip Atomizer (RDA) is compared to a Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (RTA), Rebuildable Atomizer (RBA) Rebuildable Drip & Tank Atomizer and as well as what an Atomizer is in general. These are acronyms used not for cigalikes but with Mods. Would you use a source like Vaping.com or is their a better path to follow. I couldn't find anything except for a RED highlighted lack of definition for RTA. Where do you place these things within the wiki pages of this industry's components? RDA's which can be used on both a typical mod or a squonk box mod have become more widely used over the last year with many new designs added by central players.I do not know the extent wiki wants to be the resource for this knowledge. Your direction would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. PhilEdits (talk) 23:22, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Heads up regarding this: Di Gregorio is a co-worker of Wickramasinghe. He too sees Martians in his cereal. I don't feel keen at giving such prominence to those 2 rocks, as they never prompted any further research or controversy. Morphology alone is not a reliable biosignature, so if other notable scientists support him, fine, if not, they should be deleted. IMO. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 23:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi there Drbogdan, nice to meet you again. I wanted to let you know that I removed from the lead of this article a small paragraph that you had added discussing migrations of modern humans out of Africa c. 194,000 years ago. I did this because this article focuses by design on pre-modern out-of-Africa migrations out of Africa. Yet I found the information of your paragraph to still be useful in delimiting when these earlier migrations end, so I re-added that 194,000 year figure higher up. I hope you understand and as always I'm happy to discuss. My very best, Nicolas Perrault (talk) 17:56, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
This subglacial lake is so interesting. I bet some of the hydrobot concepts for Europa will try to fly to this Mars lake, as the distance is much shorter and the surface environment is much more benign. Regarding its astrobiology potential, Mars has had several glaciations (much more than Earth) so this lake may only represent some aspects of the last one, limiting the prebiotic chemistry "menu" and the evolutionary time available. I wonder if it is in direct contact with the crust? That would boost the prebiotic chemistry menu and "may" supply some sort of energy. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 18:02, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Copied from => "Benzo(a)pyrene#Sources (version 13:19, 7 April 2018)":
In February 2014, NASA announced an upgraded database for tracking polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including BaP, in the universe. More than 20% of the carbon in the universe may be associated with PAHs, possible starting materials for the formation of life. PAHs seem to have been forming "only a couple of billion years after the Big Bang", are widespread throughout the universe, and are associated with new stars and exoplanets.[1]References
- ^ Hoover, Rachel (February 21, 2014). "Need to Track Organic Nano-Particles Across the Universe? NASA's Got an App for That". NASA. Retrieved February 22, 2014.
As a chemist, I understand that the fact that 20% of the carbon in the universe is PAH is deeply fascinating. This does by no means justify the fact that you copied and pasted the same paragraph, sourced by a collection of IR spectra (which is WP:SYNTH at best) in every single chemical compound and tried to justify it by writing "including [insert name of chemical here]". This is the same as writing "more than 20% of mammals are infested by tapeworms, including [name of mammal]" on the page of every single mammal and linking it to a site with tapeworm gene sequencing. It is not a good source, it is speculative (you actually don't know whether any of the PAHs has actually been found in space, you are demanding the reader to get a competence in IR spectrometry and check) and most of all it is the kind of non-specifici ctrl-C clutter that turns an article into a random collection of interesting facts. I am fixing the mess, which is harrowing enough without being backtracked. Believe me, people can live without knowing until they read the main article. complainer 13:26, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Why haven't the aliens visited our solar system yet? They saw the reviews. Only one star. Rowan Forest (talk) 13:45, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
Wouldn't the tumbling of a solar sail negate propulsion from solar pressure? Are mass and density estimates of the object compatible with a thin solar sail hypothesis? Spectroscopy suggests composition of a D-type asteroid (dense minerals). The excessive acceleration is real, but volatiles (even if not observed) are a more probable cause than a unicorn solar sail.
