the "ask crazychemgirl a question" thread

[crazychemgirl]

You really don't know me

Well, obviously

 

[drobert44]

that’s not a question.

OK OK

 

[rjr_1954]

Well, obviously

If you looked in my profile, you'd see that I'm bi and I'll make comments on either subjects.

So, I'm sure everyone has read this, an ex Google executive, has predicted immortality in humans by 2030. This will be achieved by introducing cell repairing nanotechnology. Supposedly, this dude has a prediction score of 87%. I know some (if not all) of the nanotechnology already exists. My question is, is that field of science, really 7 years away from being able to, inject people, with tiny machines, that will cure (through cellular healing) all the ailments of humankind? It seems a stretch. Not only in the time line of development, but also, in the years needed to approve anything for human medical uses. At least in the U.S.

Now, I've been hearing about nanobots for years, but they have also been talking about fusion energy, a world of electric vehicles and not to mention, practical flying cars. There is a bit of a problem with listing electric vehicles, because they do exist. Just their implementation has taken decades and will probably take decades more to be the dominant mode of transportation.

I will take my answer off air, thank you.

considering we can’t even cure something like cancer, I’m highly suspect of anything that says it can provide immortality

Hokey or Hogwash or Witchhunt?

From what I have read, Israeli researchers managed to reverse ageing in mice. I don't believe that any nanotechnology was required. It likely will take years for it to reach the public (if at all)
A cure for one type of cancer certainly exists, it was quite a story. A girl has been given a modified virus which gave her immune system the capacity to go and deal with the cancer. This tech was bought by Novartis but all research was by public donations or government grants. I will try to find it again if anyone is interested.

Any chance I can stop by for some di-Hydrogen Oxide?

Where would I find it at your place?

I saw a TikTok recently discussing cleaning the toilet. In it, they just tossed a bunch of different cleaners into the toilet bowl.

What are some dangers of this approach?

Like Clorox & Draino? Boom!

I am interested in reading that. My family has been riddled by cancer, it would be nice to read some good news for a change.

I read the same thing about the mice. They said, they have been able to reverse the age for awhile now, but they couldn't shut off the "superintendent gene", and it kept reversing until the mouse was dead. What I read, was that they have figured out the gene to turn it on AND turn it off. In theroy, turn it on and your body repairs itself and reversing some of the age related problems humans face. Turn it off, and the body begins aging again, at a normal rate. Last I read, they were focusing their studies on the human eye. Macular degeneration, in particular, also cataracts. They chose the eye because it was still a fairly simple organ, even though it does some pretty complex shit.

It piqued my interest because, my mother in law has very advanced macula disease... (macula? Correct?) anyway, they were starting to ask for volunteers for the study. It's a cool concept, but I heard it a few years ago and haven't followed up. I'm sure this kind of trial will take a decade or more, but it sounded pretty promising.

The treatment by Novartis is called Kymriah. Article:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09...ment-breakthrough-but-costs-too-high/11481410

Basic cost was estimated at 10,000 USD, Novartis wanted 500,000 USD back in 2019. .. not sure if this is still the case. It is still on the market over here(Europe).
Hope this is somewhat helpful.

What is the chemical reaction when you mix chlorine and water

You get chlorine in water … lol

 

[crazychemgirl]

Chlorine gas and water combine to make hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids

… ooh wow thanks.

 

[crazychemgirl]

your welcome

Your sarcasm filter is broken

You don't want to go near that Dihydrogen Monoxide, more people die each year from inhaling that, than from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

H2O … lots and lots of places. Though you can find some where you are too.

I’m sure it works … but the risks are you put 2 in that don’t belong together and accidentally create a deadly hazard. Also it seems like overkill. Toilets aren’t THAT hard to clean with one or two ingredients. We had hard water deposits at the bottom of our toilet and we just put some toilet bowl cleaner and let it sit for an hour and it was clean. Bam!

Good grief

Alright I'll bite, what is "dihydrogen" monoxide?

A scary name version for plain water.

 

[Trubbycat]

So what do you think about finding DNA and RNA bases in meteorites?

Figures! Pull the wool over the old guys eyes!
