I haven’t seen this - but I thought it was Vertigo’s Lucifer?

Not really. The ability of life to survive and thrive in incredibly harsh conditions is not in dispute. The question is the probability of life spontaneously generating from non-living compounds.

Thank you for your answer.

I thought background radiation was literally photons and other high-energy things that were created during the big bang and had been traveling since...

Is there some kind of friction when the particles/matter “slide” over space so they don’t get further apart?

I’m not sure how you would describe a character’s physical looks in a script, or even why you would do so. Surely it would depend on which actress gets the part?

More than just not understanding what a logical argument is, you don’t seem to understand the difference between a logical argument and a conclusion. Therefore this conversation is going to go nowhere, so I’m abandoning it now.

Whether it’s truthful or not is irrelevant. It’s not a good argument. The footprints is a good argument that the photo was staged. Saying “there has been no evidence provided for the existence of a yeti that has withstood scrutiny” is an argument, but saying “this evidence is not evidence because this evidence cannot…

But do you want to hear the most convincing argument that this photo doesn’t depict a yeti? The yeti is a mythical creature and not found in real life.

I don’t don’t much about the details, but from this article it seems the “cultured meat” is grown in a petri dish, or flask, or something like that, and is complicated to care for. It sounds like this isn’t much of an improvement in terms of inputs than simply putting a cow on some grassland.

It sounds like a very common independent marketing strategy, except they’ve teamed up with a bunch of other authors and called it a “platform”. It’s a good idea, from what I’ve seen this is the way to engage with readers - and through that sell books - but it’s nothing revolutionary.

You’re not seriously suggesting that individual traits have a greater effect than average broad gender characteristics?

Certainly with the competitive application process they pick the best writers, many of whom seem to already be able to get themselves published.
You can check out the Brainery Workshops. They’re a lot cheaper and held online. I don’t know how they compare to Clarion and so on, but having never done any fiction…

The whole Fermi Paradox is based on the idea that life spontaneously generates easily and everywhere, but there’s an odds-on possibility that the “bottleneck” is the genesis of life in the first place.

Silver Surfer was the Marvel series I stayed with the longest (besides Amazing Spider-man), and I admit it was because I loved the concept more than the stories. Some were good, but a lot bordered on the silly...but that’s OK too. This one looks like it combines silly and good, which could be the best of all worlds.

I meant the comics, but I’ll check Netflix here for the 2003-8 TV series. I haven’t got spare cash for comics at the moment, anyway...

If “40% would even contemplate it”, that’s almost half, isn’t it? I know not all who contemplate it would do it, and I know that walkers move faster than standers so there’ll be a lot of empty space, but still...

I walked up that when I was in London. In the morning, of course. After a long day was a different story.

Is the new series any good? The originals were great as stand-alones, but there was no continuity.

That’s what I was thinking (not having read this, nor any TMNT since the 90s). The turtles get cocky, and when they go up against someone really good, such as Shredder, they get smacked down...but then they regroup, serious themselves up and fight as a team, and win.
