Interesting analysis - the new specs seem to require a significant amount of "higher order" thinking.

6/6 The men who delivered the deadly payloads to Hiroshima & Nagasaki also played thier roles

5/6 The characters of those involved helped to form a project & its effects on the world. Steel produced before the Trinity test in corrodes less easily.

4/6 The Manhattan Project & the physics advances in the decades before the 1940s open the door to a new type of war

3/6 The military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of had calculated that 270 nuclear weapons were more than enough to erase the enemy but by the 1960s were reaching a total of 3000.

2/6 There have been more than a few near misses from the Cuban Missile Crisis, to errant weather balloons on the Finnish-Russian border and NATO wargames in 1983

🧪 🧵 1/6 Currently reading this...how close is the Doomsday clock to midnight? An early chapter recounts a 1960s briefing where only one general asked about the morality of erasing humanity 10 tomes over... The same room is still used for the same purpose.

As influencers spread ‘toxic’ claims, what is the truth about sunscreen? Too much exposure to the sun has traditionally been seen as a danger. Now claims that sunscreen is toxic flood the internet. What does the science say?

🧪 A study used excessive amounts of sunscreen whose findings certain influencers are misinterpreting: so should this possibility be factored into ethics approvals? www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Are noise-cancelling headphones impairing our hearing skills? Some audiologists are beginning to worry Some specialists suspect that constantly filtering out background noise may have unintended consequences

The business of silence: is there a hidden cost to noise cancelling? Headphone and earplug sales are booming, but individual efforts to turn down the volume may alter our brains and surrounds in unexpected ways
