Well, I’m definitely intrigued. Would love to see more study on that aspect.

Similar to silicon? I had not heard, I’ll have to look for that. Very cool

I have a lot of specific arcana about geochemistry that may sound interesting. It’s not. I mean, it is to me and my small circle of nerd friends, but we can see the people within earshot go comatose when we geek out.

ETA: like how oxidation - reduction conditions can either mobilize or affix certain minerals (based on their valence state, and other available elements) into/out of groundwater.

Also how rocks are not fixed as what they are after they lithify. Water flowing through the pore space later on can nearly completely change the rock’s characteristics. Groundwater is freaky-magic.

I am now super curious to try this…

50s, and I started noticing between 30 and 35. I definitely take longer. A small cut used to heal in like 48 hours when I was preteen. Now it’s at least 2 weeks for a similar thing. I actually have scars on my legs from briar cuts received about 3 years ago. Very minor, never healed.

So, you’re saying there exists a real world model where regulatory bodies have teeth…
