Although, that's typical of the theory, there is application magnetically.
>Magnetism is found throughout the Universe. Magnetic fields are known to exist in planets, stars, accretion disks, the interstellar medium, galaxies and in active galactic nulcei (cf. the article on galactic magnetic fields). Often these magnetic fields are generated and maintained by magnetohydrodynamic dynamo action (e.g. the solar dynamo or planetary dynamos, which are described by hydromagnetic dynamo theory), and in many cases the magnetic field is dynamically dominant, determining the evolution of the object.
Topics studied within MHD include typical computational astrophysics topics, such as magneto-convection, MHD turbulence and hydromagnetic dynamo action. Typically, a multitude of intermittent magnetic structures are generated in such systems, e.g. magnetic flux tubes, loops, filaments and arcades. On the Sun and other stars, these magnetic structures may take the form of cool spots (sunspots) and magnetic bright points.
Magnetic structures can store enormous amounts of energy that may be released through reconnection of magnetic field lines (MHD reconnection) leading to solar flares and stellar or even galactic eruptions. It is in this way that the Sun causes storms in the heliospherical magnetic field and ultimately aurorae and space weather.

reconnection of magnetic field lines (MHD reconnection)
A connector or central powering system that's within range that drives the fuel(lack of? power) economy.

The government really does hide this stuff… And, only release the conventional. Rather than the unconventional as it should… There's much speculation that goes into this, and there's wealth of progress untapped due to the powers that be in our economies.
>the maximum theoretical efficiency would be 90 percent. Allowing for the inefficiencies introduced by finite heat transfer rates and component inefficiencies in real heat engines, a system employing an MHD generator offers the potential of an ultimate efficiency in the range of 60 to 65 percent. This is much better than the 35 to 40 percent efficiency that can be achieved in a modern conventional plant. In addition, MHD generators produce fewer pollutants than conventional plants. However, the higher construction costs of MHD systems have limited their adoption.
In general, it's much very revolutionary even in the layman's perspective which according to word of (http://battista.web.unc.edu/files/2014/02/introMHD.pdf), "Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is not a field of study for those with only high school equivalent mathematics and science knowledge… much mathematical rigor to simply understand its governing equations," I apply as layman. Nonchalantly as well. Doesn't quite matter to me in that aspect. I see potential in this that'll solve energy crises old and new.

Post some fucking plants
Pic is a dragon's blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari). They are named for the red sap that they produce and look like something out of a sci-fi movie. They are native to the socotra archipelago in Yemen.
The sap can be used for dyes, medication, lipstick, or varnish.
The densely packed crown of the tree provides shade to the trees roots and helps to prevent water from evaporating.

A molecular “superglue” based on flesh-eating bacteria

NEW ORLEANS, April 11, 2013 — In a classic case of turning an enemy into a friend, scientists have engineered a protein from flesh-eating bacteria to act as a molecular “superglue” that promises to become a disease fighter. And their latest results, which make the technology more versatile, were the topic of a report here today at the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society.

Silicon nanotubes are nanoparticles which create a tube-like structure from silicon atoms. As with silicon nanowires, they are technologically important due to their unusual physical properties, which differ fundamentally to those of bulk silicon. First reports on silicon nanotubes appeared around the year 2000.

If the star happens to go supernova within this thread's lifetime (which I seriously doubt), somebody better tell us so that we can hopefully see it ourselves.

Will AI ever govern our societies in some way, shape, or form?

I don't know if they will, but an AI court system might be better than what we currently have.

If we dont destroy ourselves till then, sure A.I. Is a natural step in human evolution, machines might outlive our race somewhere in the future.
Social problems (racism against machines?) Will always be present for a few generations thought

why would we want them to? the risk of something terrible happening outweighs any precived benefits.

What distro and Desktop Environment are you currently using, is it what you always use and depend on or are you trying something new out?
Currently running Ubuntu with Xfce on a craptop with 1366×768 screen

Messed up by trying Fedora only to find out I couldn't install or use any of the programs I usually run so I'm swithching back to Manjaro with MATE. I've heard good things about OpenSUSE but to be honest I'm just going to stick with what I like.

Got a blank gentoo I'm setting up and a cinnamon arch. Thinking about swithing from arch to deb.
Any opinions on i3? While it is very useful I prefer some comfy shit for entertainment and if I want to I can just use Terminator or something.

Use Gentoo (& XFCE4 where applicable) on everything for everything. It's far from flawless and definitely not suitable for a first timer but there's no other established distro that is as versatile and controllable that I know of.

It's good but consider sway if you have modern hardware. It's a i3 clone that uses Wayland instead of X11

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut%E2%80%93brain_axis
>The gut–brain axis is the biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and the central nervous system (CNS).[1] The term "gut–brain axis" is occasionally used to refer to the role of the gut flora in the interplay as well, whereas the term "microbiome–gut–brain axis" explicitly includes the role of gut flora in the biochemical signaling events that take place between the GI tract and CNS.[1][2][3]
So the types of microbes in your gut can affect your brain. Does anyone know of any nootropic strains of probiotics?

No idea about what kind of microbes would be the best. I remember something about there being enough neurons lining the gut to give gut feelings.

Do you have source on that? It's not that I don't believe you, but that sounds like an interesting read.

Just looked it up and I'm mistaken about being solely responsible for 'gut feelings' more of a cross and interaction of nervous systems.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_nervous_system
So the digestive system neurons are roughly the total amount in 2/3rds of a cat.
Not even including the microbial biome interaction. Some of the bacteria and stuff also produce enzymes and neurotransmitters and aid in the breakdown of food.
https://www.ket.org/health/intestinal-biome-gut-together/
Also the microbial gene expression and population changes very fast.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-guts-microbiome-changes-diet/
It looks like proper gut biome at the start (vaginal seeding and breast feeding) (not destroying it all with anti-bacterial medication) reduces the chance of obesity, and allergies.
Just from a quick search, but it looks like most researchers onky have a rough idea on what is going on with specific strains of bacteria.
The best guess is maximize different foods and eat fermented foods.

>nootropic strains of probiotics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_sporogenes
thats the only one i know the exact name of, but also look for butyrate-producing bacteria. I know for a fact that the probiotics commonly found in yoghurt, kombucha, kimchi etc are worthless and do nothing for your health except, for better or worse, take up space that would otherwise be taken up by other bacteria. unless you are going to be taking some exotic probiotic such as above mentioned, its not worth it. gut bacteria makes up a majority of the DNA in your body, there is no benefit in making it all faggy kombucha bacteria.
