Why you might want to leave those dandelions alone

Posted by in category: food

Nothing can threaten a velvety green lawn like vagabond dandelions—but it isn’t all bad, says a University of Alberta gardening expert.

In fact, people may want to actually welcome the fluffy yellow blooms into their yards, said Ken Willis, head of horticulture at the U of A Botanic Garden.

“There’s starting to be a lot more argument that they should be kept because of what they can do for pollinators. Ecologically they are becoming very important as a for domestic and wild species of bees, particularly in early spring because they grow so soon. Butterflies and moths also feed on them as a source of sugar, and some species of birds feed on seeds,” said Willis, who leaves room for the hardy plant in in the .

10 mysteries of the universe: Why does anything exist at all?

Posted by in category: particle physics

It actually makes more sense that all the foundational physics laws do not exist but somehow they do. That is why I still believe there is some governing force that controls the parameters possibly. It makes more sense that our universe somehow was not created than it all somehow just magically sustained itself. That is why I think aliens created the universe as a containment possibly or that the laws of physics somehow are not completely know of how they all work together. Some talk about super symmetry but still seems some sorta things are still not know and we may never know until the theory of everything can be created.


Our best theories predict that all the matter in the universe should have been destroyed as soon as it existed. So how comes there’s something, not nothing?
