A new science question 🎓🎓

Today I have a question and maybe you are also curious about it or have ideas about the answer:

➡️ Is it good or bad to have a winter time and a different summer time? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

So now it is winter time and some countries have changed the clock 🕰️ with one hour. But in my country there is discussion if we should just keep one time and not changing the clock anymore twice a year. Do you think it is better to keep the difference between winter time and summer time or should we not change the clock anymore? 👨‍🎓👨‍🎓

This is interesting to read about the new science question above 😊😊 : https://sparckel.com/en/why-winter-time-standard-time-is-healthier-than-summer-time/

Oooo i didt see that question yesterday im sorry @Yue In my country there is also a discussion about this every year and I am tired of it. For me, the hour difference is not necessary because my youngest son always has problems with it, he wakes up too early in the winter and in the summer too. but I'm not the person who's going to make a fuss about it. so if they say change the hours then I will

I dont mind that we can sleep an hour more when the clock changes!! 😛 But with the summer time it is less nice!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫

The time change does more harm than good unfortunately. It was supposed to be abandoned as early as 2018 in the EU but they could never agree on what timezone to keep. -_-

It seemed to be for saving energy (using less light), but I am not sure that it has ever been effective and, nowadays, lightbulb are not really energy consuming compared to a lot of other things.

As Etienne mentionned, we were supposed to stop it as it kind of useless and potentially source of health problem, but the EU is such an administrative nightmare that nothing as been done in years. One of the main problem they face in their timezone choice is that winter time benefit mostly industrial countries (Germany), whereas summer time benefit mainly touristic countries (France) for instance.

As for me, I see no point in having to change the time, and both are bad for me. In France, we live in the wrong timezone since WWII when we got to adapt to the German. Thus, we have between 1 and 2 hours of difference with suntime...
In Brittany, where I come from, we are pretty much on the Westernmost part of the continent, so we go with insanity such as no sun before 8-9am in the winter, and sun until 11pm in summer. Better say that when I am in another country and see that it is dark outside at 5pm, my brain is completely lost.

I’m tired as well. Always this confusion at the beginning, especially when I forgot and realized I actually woke up at 6 instead of 7 am 😂 Honestly I don’t really see the interest in keeping that time shift anymore. I feel this has only a fewer impact on our spending in energy. Also, if we stop it, I still don’t know what time zone I would choose (summer or winter)

That's it, you get up and I don't know what time it is and my stomach growls in winter than 1 hour earlier from hunger hhhhh if we had a choice, I choose that it remains summer time then there is longer sunlight in the evening. as well as the bullshit that they say they do it for the energy, but if it gets dark 1 hour earlier at night then it already uses more energy, I don't understand the logic and I'm tired of it🤪

Thank you everybody for your comments @Etienne, @Lianshen, @Sabri_KC and @Fleurke!! We have a lot of science smarties on PPG!!!! 🧑‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 I like this forum because I can ask a bit more weird questions than in the other forums and we have to find answers! 😃

It is very interesting to read what everybody wrote. I thought it was because of the light and so you can get up an hour earlier if it is light earlier. And in the winter it is still dark longer so you wake up an hour later. So the daylight is more the same when you wake up or go outside. BUTTT i did not know it was because of the energy and that the EU wanted to make rules about it. 🙄🙄

If the EU chooses ONE time, do you think they will make it for the WHOLE EU or only stopping the difference between winter and summer time and not the different time zones in Europe? 🕰️⏰🧭⏱️⏰

A new science question 🎓🎓

Today I have a SCARY science question, but I am curious what you think:

➡️ Do you think that there will be a virus one time that can kill most people on earth? 🧬🦠🧫🧪

I dont mean the Corona discussion, because that is a difficult topic that people dont agree with each other. BUTTTT do you think that there can be a DIFFERENT virus that can perhaps kill everybody? Or will we be too quick to make a medicine for it? Or will it not happen? I hope it will not happen of course! 😛 Thank you for your science answers about this challenge!! 👨‍🎓👨‍🎓

Just the flu could kill people if it stayed long enough in people's organisms to be able to mutate. So yes, it would be possible for a virus to become strong enough to kill people, but I doubt there will ever be a new virus that could kill everyone seconds after penetrating people's organisms. I believe it would be more of a common virus that anyone can host and make stronger over time, like a cold, or like I said above, the flu.

What is scary about global warming is that frozen ice in the poles might liberate dangerous bacterias, microbes and micro-organisms that were frozen for an extremely long time, and that might cause very important damages to humanity if we don’t act on it. May Allah protect us all.

The existence of viruses and bacteria in the permafrost regions is nothing new. And it's not scary either. Thousands of viruses are being discovered, but so far about 83% are bacteriophages. They infect bacteria and not humans.
What should really scare you is this: Humans, although they know better, are acting completely against stopping climate change. They are really doing everything they can to let climate change progress rapidly. In my eyes, that is suicide. That really worries me.

To come back to the actual question:
I can certainly imagine that a virus that can destroy large parts of humanity is possible. I can well imagine zoonoses. When viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. come between animals and humans, I think it can lead to dangerous situations.
And this is another area where climate change plays a role. Because this also changes habitats for viruses etc...

In my opinion, it's unlikely that a virus or a bacteria just kill everyone. This is evolutionary not viable as the goal of a pathogens is to spread itself. You will notice that, over time, virus become less severe and increase their infectiosity instead. For instance, the Spanish flu killed millions of people, but the new versions of the virus are fortunately not as deadly.

Another unlikely reason for not going extinct because of a single pathogen is that we are billions. It's not as easy to kill 7 billions individuals with genetic variability as it is to kill a small isolated population. I think, in this regard, that prions would be a better candidate... And yet, the only reason I think so is because of the existence of chronic wasting disease, which decimate populationsof deers in north America and Europe. Typically, in Norway, the population of reindeers with individuals infected had to be all killed and the area has to be maintained deer free because of the risk it pose
