Over the last 5 years,
at least a
dozen teams have reported nailing
down the elusive b - secretase, but none have swayed the Alzheimer's research community and many have already failed to stand the test of
time.
Rough calculations show if you drill about a
dozen mine shafts as deep as possible into the thing, and plunk megaton nuclear bombs
down there, and then fire them off simultaneously, you'll get a repeat of the Long Valley Caldera explosion of about 800,000 years ago — which coated everything east of it with miles of ash and injected a giant aerosol cloud into the stratosphere — the ash layer alone formed a triangle stretching from the caldera to Louisiana to North Dakota, including all of Arizona and most of Idaho and everything in between — I bet that would have a cooling factor of
at least -30 W / m ^ 2 — and you could go and do the Yellowstone Plateau
at the same
time — geoengineering
at its finest.
