Wrapping Up The Future


There is an old saying that if something it too good to be true then it is too good to be true. I suspect that we may be seeing a lot of this material in the near future whether we like it or not.

Just what the implications of this nanotechnology are when applied to food wrapping and the human body are unknown. When I look at some of the nasty rashes I have had from fancy dressings I am far from sure.

New Antibacterial Material for Bandages, Food Packaging, Shoes

A new form of paper with the built-in ability to fight disease-causing bacteria could have applications that range from anti-bacterial bandages to food packaging that keeps food fresher longer to shoes that ward off foot odor.

A report about the new material, which consists of the thinnest possible sheets of carbon, appears in ACS Nano, a monthly journal

Chunhai Fan, Qing Huang, and colleagues explained that scientists in the United Kingdom first discovered the material, known as graphene, in 2004. Since then, the race has been on to find commercial and industrial uses for graphene.

Scientists have tried to use graphene in solar cells, computer chips, and sensors. Fan and Huang decided to see how graphene affects living cells.

So they made sheets of paper from graphene oxide, and then tried to grow bacteria and human cells on top. Bacteria were unable to grow on the paper, and it had little adverse effect on human cells.

"Given the superior antibacterial effect of graphene oxide and the fact that it can be mass-produced and easily processed to make freestanding and flexible paper with low-cost, we expect this new carbon nanomaterial may find important environmental and clinical applications," the reports states.

  1. Call spread in the INTERNET:
    - Unmarried fathers in traditionally monogamous societies!!!
    {Sexual education without Taboos or Neo-Taboos: Artificial wombs - a scientific priority research}

    There are still dumb people, who believe in fairy-tales,... but we must look reality into the eyes:
    - In traditionally polygamous societies, only the strongest males have children.
    - However, to be able to survive, many companies had the need to mobilize/motivate the weaker males in the way, that they were interested in the fight for the protection of their identity!... In fact, the analysis of the sex taboo, (in traditionally monogamous societies), we see that the real purpose of the sex taboo was the social integration of sexually weaker males.
    {See THE ORIGIN OF SEX TABOO blog}

    CONCLUSION:
    In traditionally polygamous societies is it natural, that only the strongest men have children, NEVERTHELESS the traditionally monogamenen societies must accept their history! That is, these societies can´t treat the sexually weaker males like the trash cans of society! This means, that men (with good health) rejected by females should have the legitimate right to an ARTIFICIAL womb...

    COMMENT: Sexual incompetence doesn't mean to be useless... in fact, the weaker males already showed their value: the technologically advanced societies... are traditionally monogamous societies!

    COMMENT 2: Nowadays, on one hand many women are looking for men with a bigger sexual competence, specially men from traditionally polygamous societies: in these societies, only the stronger men have children, they choose them and refine the quality of the men.
    On the other hand, nowadays many men from traditionally monogamous societies look for females from other societies, that are economically weakened [soft]...
