During my childhood years, I can't afford to buy a Tamagochi. I always wonder how it does feel to own a virtual pet during my childhood years. I will love to try it if there is a modern-day counterpart of the immersive and enjoyable game.


This will be another tool next to radiation and chemotherapy to fight cancer; it won't be a cancer cure. The problem is that every tumor is different. If the idea is to create a vaccine that attacks the tumor, it can be faster and easier with mRNA to develop an individualized vaccine.


We know that temperature got a good 1-2 °C warmer than today during the Eemian period 130,000 years ago. That was enough for a considerable portion of Greenland to melt.

The exact map of ice extent during the Eemian is under debate; the region is notoriously difficult to model as this is directly next to a highly fickle ocean current known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in the Labrador Sea. As a result, different model assumptions produce different possible maps.


huh, I wonder how the corals and ecosystem survived back then?


This all happened much more slowly. Climate change isn't necessarily destructive to life. It's destructive to life when the rate of change exceeds the rate of adaptation of many species. Warming 2 degrees in even just 10,000 years is much more survivable than when it happens in 300.
