Cool. I didn't know this!
While very interesting, you said microbes help snow to form, but you didn't actually explain how. Could you explain?
Question of the episode: can microbes ultimately affect gravity? I have heard of 'magnetic' bacteria, which contain iron to orient themselves, but can this be abused by humans? Hmmm.
No! Nearly all living organisms need iron & contain iron. Magnetotactic bacteria can't effect gravity fields - nothing material can block or effect gravity. Such bacteria prefer anaerobic conditions so I can't imagine how you would weaponise these organisms. BTW I listened to your video & it's full of wrong ideas. Please read books on evolution & natural selection.
nightjarflying Thanks for your answer... I will remove that embarrassing video immediately.
nightjarflying Living growing MRI machines?
nightjarflying I apologize and realize my folly, good sir. I incorrectly assumed the metal core of the Earth was responsible for Gravity, which is wrong, instead of believing that everything attracts everything else depending on mass and distance.
