    **In Another Parallel Universe:** _Can Water Be Turned Transparent?_

    • @randomaccount512
      @randomaccount512 6 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      You see, In non infrared wavelenths it is transparent so this is possible. But you might be asking... How to turn it non-infrared. The way to do it is to grab my handy dandy non-infrared machine and when I put my hand through the water you can see my hand through it. So all we need is a non-infrared detector to make water transparent.

    Basically, don't pay 3x the cost of water for water with decomposed plant matter in it. In addition, with respect to the uncertainty of humic acid, one should consider the warning on wikipedia stating: "Humic and fulvic acids, when present in treated drinking water, can react with the chemicals used in the chlorination process to form disinfection byproducts such as dihaloacetonitriles, which are toxic to humans"

      He probably wouldn’t find much if he bought that humus from a reputable and well known place. That little amount is also not lethal. Of course, there may be elements that are not safe, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to test it. The pH would probably be the same tho. Soil is around 5-7 pH, so yeah, a little teaspoon of it isn’t gonna do much.

      @jakesynapse6417 6 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      That's because black isn't a color, by definition, it's an absence of light (and in turn abense of color). Likewise white isn't a color either, it's a combination of Red, Green, and Blue, there is no wavelength of light that is white.
      Therefore as you add light to black (no light) in order to get gray, you would have to balance it with an even mixture of colored light.
      Any dark compound will tend to absorb one wavelength slightly more or less than the others, and water down as a color. Even carbon, arguably the darkest, blackest compond, has a very very slight yellow hue, which is why diamonds with microscopic imperfections are yellow in color.

    Actually many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered carcinogenic, and because this humic acid contains a wild mix of them and other compounds with for example aryloxy groups that could break down to form some nasty poisonous and carcinogenic chemicals like phenol etc. and because there is such a variety of different compounds, it's almost certain that there are some of those in there.

      Alcide Cloridrix Well, earthworms have a life expectancy of around 4-8 years and nobody cares if they get cancer, so I don't know if this really shows that it isn't carcinogenic...
      What worries me is that some of this stuff seems to be soluble in water, not just as a suspension, so the body could still absorb part of it. I don't think that it's very toxic, but it's better not to take the risk of getting cancer.

      I think what you described just there, can be very easily proven by the simple existence of "Color blind"

      Because most of the image you are seeing with your eyes, aren't actually, there, a lot of it is your brain picturing it for you.
      This is because there are actually only a couple special cells in our eyes that can actually preserve colors correctly.

      The Earths gravity causes things to fall back down to it. But if something is moving fast enough, it can leave Earth instead of falling back down. This is called escape velocity. Earth's escape velocity is 11.2 km/s. The Sun's escape velocity is about 618 km/s.
      A black hole it stands to reason is any sufficiently massive body, such that it's escape velocity is greater than C.

There are tones of layers of cells which needs to be crossed by the thread to pass through our body.. 2. And for that we will have to find a point where the hole( if you consider there are empty voids in between cells) of every single layer should align.. The chances of which are as low as 1 in 10 billion trillions... Which is almost impossible.

    I wish he'd talked about the 72 trace minerals in fulvic acid. It reminds of the nutritional supplement craze of the 1990s, where colloidal micro minerals were all the rage. I think there is some validity to our farming soils being depleted of minerals in American agriculture, since every year, we don't add minerals when fertilizing, we add 3 ingredients, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen gives you the most bang for farmers' buck because it accelerates green growth in a few days. The fanfare on colloidal minerals back then was that they are hard for people to absorb in their elemental form, but through chelation or extracting them after they've been metabolized through plants, the human body could absorb them better. If we are deficient in these minerals, my thought is an occasional bottle of "Black Water" could have some health benefits. Time will tell.
