Mysterious painting of a PIG dating back 45,500 years is found

Recall that this appears to be the minimum age for the painting. Better yet it is a real effort. The method used does not provide a narrow level of aging security though whatever they may say.

Old enough to be out of reach for carbon dating. *Mysterious painting of a PIG dating back 45,500 years is found in a cave in Indonesia and could be the 'world's oldest-known figurative artwork'* *The imag...

Ancient Roman concrete mineral found strengthening nuclear reactor walls
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I do suspect that the basic cement recipe needs only a modest adjustment to get an optimal blend. Concrete in sea water will certainly be hydrated and it is necessary only to have some source material as it is acting as a binder. And it is mobile. Whether this can also work with weathering surfaces is a good question. A tough surface would always be welcome. What this argues though is all this takes time and plenty of it. Try a working decade and possibly much more. Though this suggests that it is fast enough to prevent minor damage. Five or six years could do it perhaps. ...

*Hao Tan, Elizabeth Thurbon, John Mathews, Sung-Young Kim* *Energy, Pacific* China is changing. It’s announced a firm date to reach net-zero emissions, and governments in eastern provinces don’t want polluting coal plants taking up prime real estate. It’s time Australia faced reality, and reconsidered its coal export future. Australian coal exports to China plummeted last year. While this is due in part to recent trade tensions between Australia and China, our research suggests coal plant closures are a bigger threat to Australia’s export coal in the long term.

Civilization: The Bridge Too Far
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 23 hours ago
A civilization is not an end in itself; it is a means for the creation of another civilization. When a civilization reaches its highest or lowest point, it is driven by the forces of nature to cross the bridge built over an infinite abyss of oblivion. If the bridge breaks, the civilization descends into the abyss and disappears forever, but if the bridge holds, and the civilization makes it to the other side of the infinite abyss of oblivion, then it transforms into a new civilization, one that is a higher or lower version of the original civilization.
