The Silurian hypotesis:\u00a0would it be possible to detect an industrial civilization in the geological record?<\/p>\n

(bozza su arXiv<\/span><\/a><\/span>):<\/p>\n

If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today?<\/p>\n

\u00c8\u00a0un Gedankexperiment con tutti i crismi per capire come distinguere l’Antropocene dal resto dell’Olocene:<\/p>\n

There is an interesting paradox in considering the Anthropogenic footprint on a geological timescale. The longer human civilization lasts, the larger the signal one would expect in the record. However, the longer a civilization lasts, the more sustainable its practices would need to have become in order to survive. The more sustainable a society (e.g. in energy generation, manufacturing, or agriculture) the smaller the footprint on the rest of the planet. But the smaller the footprint, the less of a signal will be embedded in the geological record.<\/p>\n

Va finire da un lato che “more research is needed”, dall’altro che serve comunque giocare con le idee quando sono vincolate da quanto \u00e8 misurabile:<\/p>\n

Perhaps unusually, the authors of this paper are not convinced of the correctness of their proposed hypothesis. Were it to be true it would have profound implications and not just for astrobiology. However most readers do not need to be told that it is always a bad idea to decide on the truth or falsity of an idea based on the consequences of it being true.<\/p>\n

We found no evidence<\/strong> to support the efficacy of homeopathic medicinal products for ARTIs in children. Adverse events were poorly reported, so conclusions about safety could not be drawn.<\/p>\n
