Reply to Would an arcology be conceivably possible? by peregrinkm
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip. This was attempted in the Biophere 2 project (https://biosphere2.org/). The chief problem they encountered was not accounting for the CO2 emitted from the curing of the concrete they used in construction.

Reply to A study on obese patients suggests the gut microbiome affects obesity levels. Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. by glawgii
Abstract:
Purpose: Obesity is currently a major global public health issue. It has been shown by many that gut microbiota and microbial factors
regulate the pathogenesis of obesity and metabolic abnormalities, but little is known about their roles in the different degrees of
obesity. Here, we sought to investigate the microbial signatures of obesity of various severities.
Patients and Methods: We did this by characterizing the intestinal microbiome signature in a Chinese cohort of obese patients and
healthy controls using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. To this end, obesity was sub-divided into four subgroups, including “Overweight”,
Class I, Class II, and Class III obesity, based on body mass index (BMI).
Results: Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. We
detected an expansion of Escherichia shigella in obese patients compared to healthy controls. The family Eubacterium coprostanoligenes and Tannerellaceae, the genera Eubacterium coprostanoligenes, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, Parabacteroides, and
Akkermansia, and the species Prevotella copri were microbial biomarkers of healthy people. Gammaproteobacteria and
Enterobacterales were biomarkers of being “Overweight”. Erysipelatoclostridiaceae was a biomarker of Class I obesity. The class
Bacilli and the order Lactobacillales were both biomarkers of Class II obesity. Negativicutes was a biomarker of Class III obesity. We
further established relationships between this microbiome data and other biochemical data, including albumin, low-density lipoprotein
(LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), vitamin folic acid (FA) and vitamin B12 (VB12), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. Function
prediction results showed a marked energy metabolism dysbiosis in obesity, especially in patients with Class III obesity.
Conclusion: These results suggested that people with different levels of obesity had distinct gut microbial signatures. Decreased
microbial diversity, depletion of some specific taxa, and deviation in potential functions mirrored the severity of obesity in this cohort.
Keywords: body mass index, degree of obesity, fecal microbiota, 16S rRNA sequencing

You are on the right track. Look into PBM in red and NIR frequencies e.g. 620, 679, 760, 810, and 830, and their interaction with Complex 4/ Cytochrome Oxidase C in mitochondrial electron transport chain.

For those interested, check out r/photobiomodulation, and r/redlighttherapy.
Also there is an enormous collection of research on this Google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZKl5Me4XwPj4YgJCBes3VSCJjiVO4XI0tIR0rbMBj08/htmlview#gid=0

Reply to comment by StoryAndAHalf in TIL 5,200 tons of space dust falls on Earth every year by StoryAndAHalf
The real MVP!! As soon as I read the headline, I had to wonder how much Earth loses each year. Net gain? Net loss?
According to Universe Today:
"The Earth’s mass is 5.9736 x 1024 kg. That’s a big number, so let’s write it out in full: 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. You could also say the Earth’s mass is 5.9 sextillion tonnes."
So this is a tiny tiny fraction of the total.
