Yet we still have no cure for cancer

They could say anything, no one besides them know if it is true, and they are probably guessing

I’m waiting for the PDF to download. I’ll give my opinion after I read it.

Can study water 13 billion light years away.

Can't take photo of lunar landers on nearby moon.

We have cures for numerous forms of cancer.

Which one are you referring to?

Refers to same article but has more background on what was found and time: epoch of reionization

This is a silly point.

First there are definitely some cancers we can cure 100%. Second it can be very complex and involves many metabolic and cell cycle pathways. Since it's essentially your own body running unchecked. There will never be a magic pill that cures all cancer. There is no one size fits all approach that will work outside of maybe genetic/phenotypic gene editing on living individuals, and that seems farfetched even

Stupid shite like this is why a giant group of people believe earth is flat.

What the frick are we going to do with water 13billion light years away. That isnt even a conceivable number. Do that math on that.... that is more miles than the tax payers dollars disappearing into NASA on a yearly basis if you counted it in pennies.

It's not like finding water billions of light-years away takes away from cancer researchers either lmao. Different people with entirely different skills/knowledge expertise study these things.

I also agree theres no practical benefit of finding anything that far away

And what most people don’t realize is that if we found cures for every single type of cancer known to man today, new types would soon fill the void.

Not because if some nefarious conspiracy, but because humans just don’t live long enough currently for these “new” types to develop.

Exactly. Any cellular mechanism that allows us to be human is a potential gateway for multiple mechanisms of a cancer.

I love the cute overgeneralization of 'cancer' as a whole. As if it was just 1 thing.
