robin_astro Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 The headline and screen grab used in the youtube thumbnail displayed in the post is generated by the youtuber and can be edited at any time, as can the video. You might not agree with what has been changed but it will still appear in your posts under your name. This is why it is not a good idea to embed anything from a site you do not control unless you trust it 100%. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Er ... Yes, ... and Earth scientist's Periodic Table might not be the same as Extra-terrestrial scientist's Periodic Tables elsewhere in the possible Universe ... ahem. Our discovery of the Universe is in it's infancy, right?? .... also our knowledge regarding Panspermia ... so wise to keep an open mind I guess?!😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I doubt that very much given what the periodic table represents But you never know maybe our extra terrestrial scientists have indeed found the island of stability and are awash with super heavy nuclei.

In other words, the more time passes, the more massive "Bureaucratium" becomes; it only grows larger and more sluggish." Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macavity Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) "A little boy in a dream just the other day... His mind fell out of his face and the wind blew it away". They called him "Astro Man"?!? lol @ Jimi Hendix! 🥳 I admit I have been known to EDIT a post after someone has commented. 🙀 Sometimes, just to clarify the original idea? But I *do* take CARE that the general meaning is not changed. But then, I see this as a leisure / hobbies forum... NOT a court of law? Stupid or not, I still give people the benefit of the doubt? And if these folks stimulate *some* (ANY!) interest in science... 🙃 Edited October 15, 2020 by Macavity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added a comment to my original post to clarify what happened Robin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
