I showed a video in class the other week and learned that  we recycle the phosphorus from our waste.  It's removed at water treatment plants then  goes back into crop fertilizers . Pretty ingenious , the things you learn in school

I'll may occasionally howl at the moon but that is a step too far

I feel it would be wrong to allow this moment to pass without drawing attention to a book by Joseph Jenkins called "The Humanure Handbook"

At this juncture one wonders (wanders?) whether the OP had any idea where this might head? 

We've literally gone from some esoteric Quantum supposition to extracting the "P" 🤣

Ha! you beat me to it ! I was about to post "My Goodness, How We Have Become Entangled"

and : "household liquid activator", even before Geoff and GW, was much celebrated in the organic world as a speeder-upper of making leafmold (autumn leaf falls take long time to break down otherwise) and useful for other composts but not really necessary in 'ordinary' heaps.

Dont ask how I know

I bet Bob Flowerdew pees on his compost heap.

In Captain Corelli's Mandolin the book starts with the old Doctor peeing on his compost heap.

Nothing in life is simple !  The production, from phosphate rock, of phosphorus for fertilizer and animal feed creates a hazardous waste product called phosphogypsum. Radioactive !

How do I know all this, well Florida produces a lot of it and has just declared an emergency evacuation of 300 homes and the closure of a motorway after a leak from one of its storage ponds.

Why radio telescopes fail to encounter signs of civilization.   Using radio signals for communication does not make sense.   Long distance conversations become next to impossible using radio, but using some form of communication based on entangled particles should be instantaneous, and would quickly displace radio communications. We hear nothing because we are listening for the wrong things.  Just a thought.

The thought has occurred to me before. 

Just commenting.
