AccuTron Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 (I did a bunch of surfing without bookmarking before I realized I was on an adventure. I'll do my best with links. As I was warming up below, a thought occurred to me, and I realized it was a zinger, and this needed to split into two topics. Later I'll start a post about where else the site below sent me; about terrible quality of medical research, by two editors of very top medical journals, Lancet and NEJM.) First, enenews.com is THE site for Fukushima info. Readers since the beginning have excellent understanding, and readers provide further high quality technical info in the comments section. (I'll finally sign up with them, to direct them back to here!) Second, I was reading about black mold affecting large numbers of certain Pacific fish. Here is that page link: http://enenews.com/mysterious-black-mold-being-found-fish-pacific-northwest-govt-concern-fukushima-radiation-could-be-involved-biologists-investigating-landbased-fungus-appearing-fish-many-reports-unusual-rotti/comment-page-1#comments Page one comments...somewhere halfway-ish down the page... revealed fascinating supplementary info about melanic molds (containing melanin). The upshot of that section is that melanin turns "deadly to us" radioactivity, which is after all photons, into energy like plants use chlorophyll for a different spectra. Heavy melanin in fossilized spores at a big Cretaceous die off period matches a period of Earth's magnetic field being zero while it flipped, thus allowing massive cosmic ray pummeling. Further links, sorry you have to track them down on that page, discuss certain likely genetic pathways for mutation, and possible mechanisms for radioactivity resistance. And they grow towards sources of radioactivity. It may be that melanin was first derived in mutated mold spores, which flourished while the rest of the planet was toast. Also, is our own skin's melanin a tiny energy source nobody noticed? These molds grow in radioactive cooling water pathways, the space station, the Arctic; they are extremely good at damage repair, and curiously, the DNA for much of that roughly matches some human DNA, suggesting...for now we'll call it sci-fi...genetic mod to humans making us at least somewhat radiation resistant. Maybe that's the way Fukushima will be finally cleaned up in two centuries, resistant workers will be bred for a few generations. Whatcha' think?
