The lacy rocks of Mars
Cool image time! The image to the right, cropped and reduced to post here, was taken on July 16, 2021 by the Mars rover Curiosity, using its high resolution mast camera.
There isn’t much to say. These are alien rocks, created in a place with a gravity only about a third that of Earth’s in a climate that is very different. Their delicate nature suggests we are looking at something that was once more substantial and has since been undergoing erosion.
Nor has it been that unusual to find rocks so dainty on Mars. In fact, the more Curiosity has climbed, the more such things have been visible. And similar things were seen by the rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
How such rocks formed initially in the far past, under what climate conditions, remains the number one mystery on Mars. What is now causing it to flake away into such a finespun gossamer of complexity is as much a mystery, tied more to the climate and geology of Mars today.
This rock sits on the bottom flank of Mt Sharp in Gale Crater, at the highest elevation Curiosity has yet climbed. At this point the rover has just entered a new geological unit, what scientists have dubbed the sulfate unit. The evidence gathered from a distance (that so far appears confirmed by recent observations) suggest that this unit was formed under a fluctuating environment that laid down many layers of sediment as conditions ebbed and flowed.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

OT, but people here seem to be well informed!
I have tried to find information about the PCR test for Coronaviris, specifically what is the standard number of replication cycles used to determine a positive result. Can anyone provide a link? I searched the CDC site, that tells you how to take the sample for example, but I found nothing like “Run X cycles, and if nothing shows, consider it a negative result.” I would hope there is a national standard, but I can’t find it!
Ray,
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to “amplify” small segments of DNA.
PCR test insert information;
“For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.”
Routine PCR amplification of DNA fragments up to 5 kb.
Note;
The error rate of Taq DNA Polymerase in PCR is 2.2 x 10-5errors per nt per cycle, as determined by a modified method described in. Accordingly, the accuracy of PCR is 4.5 x 104. Accuracy is an inverse of the error rate and shows an average number of correct nucleotides incorporated before an error occurs.

Most tests, like the Broad Institute test used by MIT, use a 40-cycle protocol.
https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2020/11/pcr-test-result
Most scientists recommend not going over 30 cycles for more accurate results, over 50 cycles… You will test false positive for nearly everything that ever existed in our environment.
“Amplification over 35 cycles is considered unreliable and scientifically unjustified, yet Drosten tests and tests recommended by the World Health Organization are set to 45 cycles.”
And;
“when officials at the New York state laboratory, the Wadsworth Center, reanalyzed testing data at The Times’ request, they found that changing the threshold from 40 cycles to 35 cycles eliminated about 43 percent of the positive results. Limiting it to 30 cycles eliminated a whopping 63 percent.11 The Vaccine Reaction adds:12
In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90% of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. ‘I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,’ he said.

PCR test cycle was high to panic the public for political expediency. Until the vaccine was released, and the cycles were turned down, to show a fictitious vaccine effectiveness. It’s time once again to turn up the PCR cycles to show a resurgence of COVID-19 (or it’s Greek letter variant) to re-establish health emergency protocols and political dominance.

As you’ve seen with the Texas democrats (who violated the mask mandate on planes) all are vaccinated! And some have caught Covid called “breakthrough infection” proving the shots do not work, especially against last year’s flu… The next lock down and booster shots will be justified by criminally (intentionally) increasing the PCR cycles.

The positive PCR test is meaningless.

Ivermectin stopped india’s COVID-19 outbreak cold!
It was so effective that the emergency use exemption for COVID-19 experimental and untested vaccinations must be resended! Better, safer, proven effective treatment is available, at a fraction of the cost, without side effects.

Nobel prize winner Kary B Mullis invented the PCR test that’s being used for incorrect, unethical Covid-19 test. He died suddenly in August 2019.

PCR test with your personal identification not only helps catching criminals/cold cases who are unidentified in rape test and murders, they are also necessary to collect DNA samples for future medicines, designer diseases, designer babies, and better methods to cure you, or to kill you.

My employer even provides Covid vaccine shots. Many employees are now sick, unable to work… two (maybe three) are dead in their mid-50s. One healthy biker/drinker, the other a diabetic.
I “identify” as someone who’s had the shot so I no longer need to wear my mask…
My best guess: This is a result of a mud volcano. The mud was under pressure deep in the ground. The water content of the mud had a great deal of dissolved carbon dioxide in it. When the mud reached the surface the CO2 content came out of solution and formed bubbles. This happens with volcanoes in general.
Hi agree. a mud volcano, flash frozen? CO2 /H402 water sublimation / boiling into a gas. The result would be a soft clump of fluffy material health together loosely by minerals.
Vaccination shots in Britain 47% ineffective.
