Cool story @suesa though the only part I wasn't sure of was how nanoparticles were presumed to be harmless for the environment but deadly to us. Countless examples from the scientific community with the same kind of certainty was proven wrong. Whether you point to DDT, agent Orange, PCBs, CFCs the list goes on. All were a brilliant idea at the start. Micro beads in soap were also seemingly harmless, now people get the nutritional benefits in their fishsticks. My request for a science post would be POLE SHIFT. I have my own article that has research you can draw on, but I'm sure you have your own thoughts/sources. But feel free to take whatever you like from here: https://steemit.com/science/@ecoknowme/anyone-know-anything-about-pole-shift-should-i-start-googling-underground-gardening ....in order to make your own conclusions and orchestrate your signature fiction and science story twist. Plus I'd be curious what direction YOU would take it. Cheers @ecoknowme
Thanks for the feedback!
True, nanoparticles aren't safe for the environment either, but for the sake of the story safer than the alternatives.
On the subject of pole shift, I doubt that I could write a good story about it as it's far outside my field of expertise. Maybe @fredrikaa has some thoughts on this.
is your area of expertise more in chemistry/biology? Perhaps it wouldn't need to be pole shift specifically, but perhaps your take on the impact of cosmic waves on evolution. WHY are there periods in the fossil record where all life forms went through periodic change, then looooong periods of normal evolution? What was that about? What would that be like in a modern context, say, a first date? I dunno, then again, I dunno how you are able to spin such tales with a few fascinating scientific principles you want to touch on for guidance, but thank you so much for the tag, I will check out @fredrikaa 's stuff too
Yes, biology/chemistry/health is more my area. And I'll keep your suggestion in mind and see if I can think of anything interesting!
Cheers, Steem on!
