What happens if indras net is coated with something like in this picture?

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

from this
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
Nanomaterials

Recently povidone-iodine has found application in the field of nanomaterials. A wound-healing application has been developed which employs a mat of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) coated in a monolayer of povidone-iodine.[11] It has been previously shown that the polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, povidone) can coil around individual carbon nanotubes to make them water-soluble.[12] This povidone-iodine coated carbon nanotube mat serves an electrically conductive bandage with antiseptics properties. Traditionally povidone-iodine is soaked into absorbent materials for application to wound sites, but this can lead to contact burns if excessive amounts of povidone-iodine are used. Additionally, traditional methods can allow large quantities of povidone-iodine to be released from the bandage material upon contact with fluids at the wound site. Meanwhile, the carbon nanotube supported povidone-iodine is prevented from escaping from the bandage in large amounts, and after an initial release of excess povidone-iodine to the wound site, a secondary slow release of iodine from the carbon nanotube bound povidone takes place.

Iodine is rare in the solar system and Earth's crust (47–60th in abundance); however, iodide salts are often very soluble in water. Iodine occurs in slightly greater concentrations in seawater than in rocks, 0.05 vs. 0.04 ppm. Minerals containing iodine include caliche, found in Chile.

Re: X Marks the Spot
When I got closer (I actually got under it before I took this video) I could see it was an array of lights like lines in a 6 point star pattern. I couldn't clearly see the body of the object but I would guess it was round judging by the array of lights. They were constantly changing color...red, blue, purple, green, yellow...but the quality of the light was unlike anything I've seen. It wasn't radiating light...that is to say it didn't illuminate itself...but it was very bright and the colors were vibrant. I would estimate its altitude was about 1,000 feet. It was silent.

The other lights in the video are reflections of the car panel on the windshield. It's annoying but it does give you a reference point for the movement of the object. It does some strange things.

Interesting video from quantum leap thread

its clever and True

The arrow does not really move only time moves
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1496863


I understand that totally....but now quantum physics comes into play. Is there a way to effect the past from the future.

Example you have two water molecules one in the "Past" and one in the "Future" and to advance it to the future you must change its mass. So since the "Quantum Link" you could essentially alter the future and vice versa. Subtract mass from the molecule and it's starts going towards the past. The "Quantum Link" law cannot be broken so you effect the future molecule you can change the past.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Copper became the focus of mining in the Santa Cruz Valley and elsewhere in Southern Arizona beginning in the late 1880s. By 1907, Southern Arizona led world copper production. Copper production ceased in 1951.
 Quoting:


A new mine is opening in the Santa Rita Mountains. Awaiting the Section 404. permit.

The regional, local and property geology of the Rosemont deposit consists of Precambrian sedimentary and intrusive rocks, which form the regional basement under a Palaeozoic sequence of quartzites, siltstones, and carbonate rocks. Sedimentary deposition ceased for a time during uplift and formation of a widespread unconformity in the early Mesozoic, and then resumed with the deposition of continental and shallow marine deposits.

Were-jaguar

The were-jaguar was both an Olmec motif and a supernatural entity, perhaps a deity.

The were-jaguar motif is characterized by almond-shaped eyes, a downturned open mouth, and a cleft head. It appears widely in the Olmec archaeological record, and in many cases, under the principle of pars pro toto, the were-jaguar motif represents the were-jaguar supernatural. The were-jaguar supernatural incorporates the were-jaguar motif as well as other features, although various academics define the were-jaguar supernatural differently. The were-jaguar supernatural was once considered to be the primary deity of the Olmec culture but is now thought to be only one of many..........

There is something to that. Why would "researchers" start changing the original "myth" before we finished fleshing out that "myth"?
