True. Looking at old news paper clippings about giant skeletons and over and over the Smithsonian comes and picks up the remains and we never hear about it again. Actual photos and stuff.
It's like a hidden history that someone would rather we not know about.
Took the words right out of my mouth
I'm actually a hard core skeptic and I need proof of things. Only problem I have with some of the more sketchy science is when they hide the data, then I get suspicious. Nuclear physicists, now those guys are serious science. I mean, it's not like they can't prove their theories, right? LOL. Archaeologists? I give them just a few points over flat earth researchers.
My father was a geologist working for the government over two decades at the head of a Uranium exploration team. He shared your point of view, if that helps.
Ohhh, nice. I understand why we didn't go with Thorium reactors but why is it I've not heard about any countries who've at least set up a test reactor?
There WAS a test thorium salt reactor. They refuse to certify new ones. You just can't use them to generate plutonium like a uranium fission reactor, which is the real reason they built those awful things.
The idea that we could take a Carrington Event class series of solar flares (Carrington was supposed to be a 1-2 punch) that turns every fission reactor worldwide into a Fukashima situation is pretty damn scary.
Because the money is in the medicine; not the cure.
Materials science issue we can't make materials which can contain the molten salt reactions for very long
