      @@mattchenard591 the wave function collapse is less about a conscious observer and more so about measurements, the wave function will collapse if it comes in contact with something that would allow it to be measured at any point in the future, this means that no conscious observer needs to witness the wave function for it to collapse as long as the wave function came in contact with an object and leaves an impression that could somehow be used to measure it in the future (at least from my understanding)

    I tried composting used motor oil some years ago - I mixed about a quart of oil with plenty of fine Douglas Fir sawdust. Then I inoculated it with finished compost from an ordinary kitchen compost heap and inoculated it with soil from the forest floor. It was covered and allowed to sit for a year with occasional stirring - very much what they did in this video on a micro scale. I was surprised that it worked, after a year the oil was gone!
    The caveat is you have to have the space, and I'd prefer everyone recycle their motor oil - some types have toxic additives, and the more that gets recycled the less new oil has to be extracted, but it taught me how resilient soils can be if they're treated properly.
    Our forests are a miraculous ecology from deep underground to the tops of the trees.....looks like these guys are developing some fantastic tools for bioremediation. Thanks you all!

    • @james-faulkner
      @james-faulkner 2 місяці тому +10

Would probably present itself as a lack of vigorous mycelial growth, but might present some funky-looking fruiting bodies, if it can go that far. Who knows?

I watched a number of TED type talks on the subject matter, a while back; but the content was either too dense for me, or irritatingly gushing ( for a middle aged bloke).
    I watched this without losing focus, and am left with lots of new areas to explore. So my gratitude and sincere thanks to the crew, and the wonderful people - the common thread was that all had that glint in their eyes, that living adults managed to retain and father time hasn't dulled.

    24:44 It might seem paradoxical that a plant would willingly agree to be invaded by a fungus. But in symbiosis, not only does the plant not discourage the intruder, it actually rolls out the red carpet for it. It lets the threads worm their way into the center of the root cells, creating highly ramified structures called arbuscules. Both partners have a vital interest in this close relationship, because this greatly enlarged interface is where the plant trades the sugars from photosynthesis for the minerals and water the fungus has mined from deep down in the soil.
    That makes me oddly happy

Probably decades ago, some foreign scientist randomly visited my country collecting samples from landfills, dirty ponds, polluted soils, and any disgusting places you could imagine. Nobody bats an eye or even remotely interested in what they're doing that time. Until those scientist gets home to their lab in their country and produces various enzimes from those samples. Only then everyone in the field here is furiously trying to demand to have the shares of those enzimes when they realize the profitable prospects.

    Breathtakingly wonderful. As I get older and understand more of nature I am evermore ashamed of being human as I see so much of the bad stuff humans do , in so many ways. but this looks like it is work to be proud of.

      Why anthropomorphize. Why make it male or female, WHY NOT CALL IT, "THE CREATOR" if it really needs to be AN ENTITY? Maybe the writers of those days (and the readers or listeners) didn't have the words, or language to speak of an existence, or being part of THE EXISTENCE or the side of a large elephant... TOUCH THE WALL??? Is it grey? Is it warm? Is it smooth or rough?
      People then, even now, ARE SO LIMITED. I'm so, so tired. And so bored. The future is so dimly lit!

    I worked on an organic vegetable farm and I became convinced that fungi were the single most important factor involved in the bumper crops from what are rather frugal additions of animal manure.
    Breaking down the manure and releasing the important substances that plants require, as opposed to the forced growth from manufactured fertiliser.

      Everything is a chemical. The mycologists studying fungi are studying chemicals. The woman who was developing lipase enzymes was developing chemicals. It's a neutral umbrella term for any thing made of atoms.

      ​@@prophecyrat2965 The vast majority of an oil company's product are cocktails of organic molecules such as gasoline, jet fuel/diesel, lubricating oils of various weight, propane, even tar for the roads. They simply filter the various things out of the natural gas and crude oil, sort them into barrels and pipelines and then sell them to the highest bidders. Other companies buy these to use them as building blocks for synthetic molecules like plastics, pesticides, refrigerants, and pharmaceuticals.
      Natural gas wells also yield some inorganic chemicals such as helium which can also be collected and sold.
