    Which scientific journals would the people of HN recommend and why?

    In the past it was difficult for me to read some highly technical journals due to my lack of knowledge in most topics. With the help of AI, I've found much more motivation to dive deeper into all kinds of subjects and just learn more. I'm now interested in reading scientific articles more regularly.

    Some good news :) anything to bring back coral reefs

    Only if they are clones - genetically identical. So not much use in practice, unfortunately.

      I think the article says they just haven't tested other cases. I wouldn't expect the symbiotic microalgae to be that picky.

      Edit - The article makes Okkef's point, I just missed it.

        The article says otherwise.

        > Fragments from different species and even different animals of the same species did not fuse together, and so did not nurse the bleached piece back to health.

      Sounds like a solution is still well within our reach. Normally I wouldn’t suggest something as extreme as using cloning techniques to restore wild creatures, but of course it was extreme actions that got us here in the first place, so I think this balances it out.

        We don’t use cloning enough IMO.

      We could create a bank of coral clones tagged to each individual location.

    Could this also, have anything to do with, Nikola Tesla's resonance theory on dark matter and consciousness, in play in living matter?

    More intelligent individuals should look more into this field.

      No. Tesla's resonance theory has nothing to do with dark matter, consciousness, or living matter.

      I'm all about the concepts you're presenting, but care to elaborate on how you think the corals relate?

        Disclaimer: I am still finding my way in life, so take this theory with a grain of salt.

        New age movement, claim everything on earth is actually a hologram of the universe, experiencing itself.

        So perhaps, just being in close proximity with another coral, the hologram frequency was now more in tuned.

          Why would the frequency of the healthy one win over the frequency of the non-healthy one though? I assume both would have their own frequencies, are you implying there's an order or tendency across frequencies?
          • asjkff 14 minutes ago
            Same reason, stem cells repair damage body cells, I guess.

            I am just glad coral can repair themselves.

            Thumbs up to the researcher.

              I am just trying to understand your ideas and riff on them

              Cells are complex organisms and contain programming in their nature so we can more easily trace and understand its reasons

              A frequency is something a lot more raw than a cell
