But the half life of the atoms is still the same, no? The bacteria and fungi harness the radioactivity, but it’s not that they “get rid” of the radioactive material.
I don't think they claim the mold removes radioactive material, but that it absorbs a high amount radiation since it's producing so much melanin, and seems to be fine. Since it's absorbing so much, it works like a radiation shield, kind of like lead.
So "eat" was a bit of a poetic choice for the title really haha. It "eats" energy. Pretty good deal for the mold considering the radiation is going to be produced whether they "eat" it or not, for a VERY long time!
Non-US person here too.
From what I understand the majority of Americans want a single-payer healthcare system, but too many people in government are paid by insurance companies and affiliates to not change how things work.
What is it with code on blog posts where fonts have uneven size and/or font types (e.g. italics mixed in with regular)? I see this from time to time and I wonder if it’s intentional.
Think twice. Everyone who hosts the blockchain would decide to stop because he invested in crypto, at least with some hardware costs. Beside of the small group of people that owns a quantum computer. I don't expect that this group is >50% of the people that hosts the blockchain.
You don't need >50% of bad actors to compromise the blockchain, but rather >50% of the total hashing power. This could very well be achievable by a small group of people with QC at some point.
