INSECT IMPACT. "In the UK alone, scientists noted the areas inhabited by common insects such as beetles, butterflies, bees and wasps saw a 30-60% decline over the past forty years." Similar declines were found in larger animals. https://lnkd.in/euCx9Fn View in LinkedIn

"AGRICULTURAL POISONS. "Poisons for this, poisons for that. Kill off the insects. Kill off the snails. Kill off the wild flowers. Kill off anything that isn't your money-making crop with herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, molluscicides." https://lnkd.in/esig3Kt View in LinkedIn

"AGRICULTURE in the United Kingdom uses 71% of the country's land area, employs 1.5% of its workforce (476,000 people) and contributes 0.62% of its gross value added (£9.9 billion). The UK produces less than 60% of the food it eats." The post-war goal of self-sufficiency has not been met, despite the ravaged countryside. https://lnkd.in/ec-KRkc View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT IN NATURE continues again this weekend with the historic changes to both the British countryside, and the British flora and fauna in just fifty years. Unlike countries like America, where there are vast tracts of undeveloped land, Britain's ecosystems are largely cultivated by farmland. Destroy that, and the rest is history. View in LinkedIn

TUNNEL IN SPACE. "We experimentally show that the magnetic field from a source at one end of the wormhole appears at the other end as an isolated magnetic monopolar field, creating the illusion of a magnetic field propagating through a tunnel outside the 3D space. Practical applications of the results can be envisaged, including medical techniques based on magnetism." https://lnkd.in/erp7QhY View in LinkedIn

WORMHOLE CONSTRUCTED. "Here we construct and experimentally demonstrate a magnetostatic wormhole. Using magnetic metamaterials and metasurfaces, our wormhole transfers the magnetic field from one point in space to another through a path that is magnetically undetectable." https://lnkd.in/erp7QhY View in LinkedIn

"WORMHOLES are fascinating cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. Based on metamaterials, it could allow electromagnetic wave propagation between two points in space through an invisible tunnel. However, an actual realization has not been possible until now." https://lnkd.in/erp7QhY View in LinkedIn

STATE OF DECLINE. "The State of the UK's Birds report...shows that of the UK's 107 most widespread and common breeding birds, 16 species have declined by more than a third since 1995, including the willow tit, starling, cuckoo, lapwing and wood warbler." https://lnkd.in/eV5Cr3a View in LinkedIn

NEW THINKING. "It came as some surprise that parity, P, symmetry is broken by the radioactive decay beta decay process." https://lnkd.in/eJrXnPM View in LinkedIn
