The repetition is mostly variations on a theme, so repetition
is to be expected.
The handwaving is because it is conveying subtle arguments
to the traditional intelligent man on the street, who is
not an expert in the subject. As such it has no alternative
but to \"tell stories\" that summarise the understanding that
has been gained in the past century.
If you want something with more facts, read his \"The Ancestor\'s
Tale\". That starts at man, and traces the evolutionary steps
back to the archaea. Every chapter has something interesting,
but there\'s no way it could be read sequentially!

Arecibo was pretty good at standing out when it was operating. Anything

Unless and until we find some other life elsewhere it will be

Same way for jabbing everybody over and over again against a virus that is not worse than the flue

And there is their Military Industrial Complex trying to make war in Europe in Ukrain.
No radiation is not as dangerous as many are made to think, a plot originating
from \'hide under the table for the nuclear bomb\' media drive.
Wild life at Chernobyl is thriving!
have worked with radiation, still have a live interest

I measure radiation 24/7 with YES logged by a Raspberry!

Thorium _maybe_ a way out I think China is experimenting with a Thorium reactor.
Dump it in the Mariana Trench, lock up the few that start babbling about the deep sea fishes and creatures there

True, same way we wonder: \'How did they build those pyramids?\'
Russia has some ships with small nuclear reactors that they use to power cities on the coast.
A bunch of green fanatics calling \'mama help\' (or \'God help us\') as the changing climate drives them to other parts of the world
