Exploring the Earth's natural resources allows mankind to achieve increasing levels of comfort. Given the
abundance of riches offered by nature, humanity always took advantage as if the dowry was inexhaustible.
Today we know that most of the natural resources of which humans depend on to maintain their standard of life can disappear in a relatively short time - and it is urgent to avoid waste.abundance of riches offered by nature, humanity always took advantage as if the dowry was inexhaustible.
Here's another example of mankind uses natural resources as they were inexhaustible.
"The helium gas is running out," says Nobel-winning physicist.
Reserves would be exhausted in 25 years. Element is used in complex equipment and has no substitute!
In an interview with British magazine New Scientist, Robert Richardson, Nobel Prize winner for Physics in 1996 for his work with atoms of helium-3, said helium gas reserves are running out, and that the solution is to increase the price. "In 25 years we won’t have more helium gas," he said.
Helium is the second most abundant substance in the universe - 24% by mass of the Milky Way galaxy is formed by the element - but on Earth the only way to get it is through the exploration of rocks. The largest reserve in the world with one billion cubic meters, is located in the United States, and is controlled by the U.S. government, which maintains fixed gas prices.
The major problem of the end of the helium is not the end of the balloons at birthday parties. Magnetic resonance equipment, nuclear reactors and space telescopes use components that can only be cooled with liquid helium. How is the element with a lower boiling point, 267 ° C below zero, has no substitute. Nor is it possible to extract it from the air at affordable prices (Richardson speaks on values 10 000 times greater than today), or produce it artificially.
The solution, according to Richardson, is taking reservations from government and let prices follow the law of supply and demand. "Probably the party balloons will cost $ 100, not three dollars, but we'll have to live with that."
We are going towards destruction.. complete destruction
ReplyDeleteThe fact is that, no body can avoid this destruction, just because of human incapability.
