A 'Rash' of Dermatologists? A 'Tantrum' of Decorators? Lol! Is there really some governing authority that declares these things official? I just use the old standby, "Alotta". ;)
Interesting article. I had no idea that we knew of things that can go faster than light. But aren't we asking the wrong question? With this amount of constant power, shouldn't we put more emphasis on capturing it for energy like we do with solar panels? Except these would work 24/7, both at night & on cloudy days.
I bought my parents some outdoor pathway solar lights marketed as "Amazon's Choice" that turned out to be cheap garbage. Their first set that they bought decades ago lasted over 10 years. Then next two sets they bought fizzled out in 2 years or so. With solar, battery & led technology moving forward exponentially I figured it would be easy to find nice solar lights for a good price. I set out to buy a decent set of lights for them & didn't mind paying a little more for some quality lights. I couldn't decide between a few models & Amazon kept recommending their "Amazon's Choice" that didn't list as many technical specifications as the ones I was considering. Time marched on & I needed to make a decision & decided to trust Amazon with their choice. I figured that their AI would know I analyze many of my purchases extensively & pay extra for quality, so I assumed that info would probably be in my account profile. (yeah I remember the old saying too!) I was never so embarrassed to give somebody a gift then when I gave the "Amazon's Choice" solar light set to my parents. Some didn't work at all right out of the box. Within 6 months only two worked. They were dim, really cheap (stakes broke) & were that annoying artificial light spectrum. I don't buy much from Amazon anymore for this & other reasons, but when I do, if it says "Amazon's Choice" it doesn't encourage me to buy, it discourages me from making a purchase.
One of my teachers from St Louis worked for a major chemical company there that made some really dangerous products. He claimed for extra money they paid employees $20 a barrel to put barrels in their cars & dump them in the river or elsewhere, during your commute back home. He died rather young of cancer.
While governments & the war machine played a major role in many ecological disasters & toxic & radioactive disasters, perhaps as the reason for the initial production, for-profit companies have their hands in the R&D, the production, the distribution & allegedly safe removal & storage. After these companies split up the profits between executives & investors, they usually go through a series of paper sales or just shut down to protect the beneficiaries from legal liability. The problems are then outsourced to the government and the taxpayers pay millions or billions for the cleanup and litigation. Sometimes the "efficiencies of the free market" have an enormous hidden price tag.
