“Hidden Breakthroughs: 69 Scientific Marvels That Shocked Experts but Were Ignored by the World”
BTW I’m no scientist but I’ve completely educated myself on the world of this disease since having to treat it with our cat.
This at the time it was extremely significant.
The eradication of Smallpox, one of humanity’s deadliest diseases. Nowadays it’s shrouded in a bunch of anti-vax b******t, should it ever come back there is no way we’d be able to eradicate it.
Similarly, in 2011, we eliminated Rhinderpest, a common infectious disease among cattle. To date, these two diseases are the only diseases in history to be eradicated worldwide and are no longer a threat to life.
I wish to also remind you that the *global* effort to eradicate one of the deadliest diseases in cattle cost $5 billion USD. Smallpox eradication was $300 million in 1967, accounting for inflation that’s about $2.8 billion USD.
A collective $7.8 billion to globally eradicate some of the deadliest diseases on planet earth.
# The fact that bacteria can communicate — and have their own “language.”
**→** ***Quorum sensing***
Scientists discovered that bacteria aren’t just single-celled loners they actually communicate with chemical signals, vote on decisions, and act collectively when they reach a “quorum” (like, “Okay, now there’s enough of us, let’s release the toxins / form a biofilm / light up like in bioluminescence”).
It’s like social media for microbes. Literal **group chats** for germs. And it’s been happening on Earth way before humans even existed.
