There is so much hormonal birth control in the water sanitation system that it presents a challenge to conception. But another form could create similar problems.

Standard birth control pills are large quantities of hormones.
Those Birth control pills work by emitting naturally-occurring hormones estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy. These hormones stop sperm from fertilizing an egg by stopping ovulation. ... The hormones in the pill also thicken cervix mucus, meaning it is more difficult for the sperm to get to the egg.

I like my idea but it has never been researched.
Fortunately my wife is in charge of research.

This morning I invented a new birth control for the 7 women who prefer a normal menstrual cycle but do not want children.

In normal conception the first sperm to arrive activates a chemical signal that immediately fuses the surface of the egg to NOT allow other sperm to penetrate the surface. Duplicate that chemical signature and make a delivery system. All the eggs remain impenetrable for a time.

Lewis and Clark took 50 dozen on their expedition.

“Rush’s pills,” otherwise known as “Thunderclappers,” combined calomel and jalap into an explosive cathartic. Calomel (six parts mercury to one part chlorine) was used as a purgative and jalap as a laxative. The depleting aspect of this medication was thought to rid the body of any “morbid” elements contained mainly in the blood.

These were called Thunderclappers for their effect. The L&C route has been traced by the excess of mercury in soil in places they stopped -- sometime, I think, for good reason!

MERCURY HAS LONG BEEN USED as a medicine to treat various diseases, such as syphilis and typhoid fever, or parasites. Certainly a treatment with such a "powerful" medicine impressed patients, and when poisoning symptoms appeared they could always be blamed on worsening of the original disease.

We sometimes pinched a drop or two of mercury during Science experiments to take home and mess around with. The teacher would put some on each lab bench, and we were fascinated by how it rolled about in shiny globules under our fingers.
When I think how dangerous that was, and how (I imagine) mercury is never issued to pupils during Science lessons nowadays, I shudder!

If you punch it up and polish your post more, you might end up with a good stand up routine about the similar unconscious conversations of icebergs and NYC cocktail parties.

I was led to believe the brain itself uses food energy which is the equivalent of 3 peanuts per day. The energy from the rest of the food we eat goes mostly to our bodies that carries our brain around.

Donuel:

"Energy" is a word with definite physical meaning. I don't know what Freud said or wrote about mental or psychic 'energy'. I only know what you wrote your post. Let's just put all that libido and conscious and unconscious energy into one big brain, yours for instance. Your brain according to physics has two types of energy. There's the kinetic energy in how fast your brain is moving at a given time. And there's the potential energy in how high above grade your brain is. The brain delivers its energy in the form of work done as its velocity goes from 'v' to '0'. An in the heat or work done when it is dropped to the floor. We would further have to look at how hight it bounced (eleastic collision) or if it went splat (inelastic collision).

As for conscious versus unconscious, my own theory is that the allegory of the human mind is an iceberg. The unconscious part is the iceberg below water level, and the roughly ten percent above the waterline is the conscious part, essentially dragged along with limited capacity to direct things, but always willing to make excuses. Every so often, the part below waterline loses mass on one side and the entire thing does a flip. Then new excuses emerge. These are called theories, revolutions, and explanations.

When two icebergs meet, they have what is called a 'frank exchange of views'.

Here is a different science "surprise."

Something like 55 years ago, I was taken to Battersea funfair and one of the exhibits was "The Invisible Man." This consisted of a large glass box like a shower enclousure and around the vertical edges were lights, perhaps fluorescent tubes. Members of the audience went into this - I had a go myself - and as the showman turned a dial the person faded from view and 'turned invisible.' fFrom inside thre was no visible change to the audience. From neither inside nor outside was there any visible change in the brightness of the lights or anything like that. There was not the space - nor the necessary cooperation - for it to be based on "Pepper's Ghost" being over 55 years ago it must have relied on fundamental physics, not some hi-tech approach.

I wonder if somehow it relied on total internal reflection, but to this day I haven't decided precisely how it was done.

As I said, it went chilly. There wasn't much wind in any case that morning. To be honest, the event was so visually overwhelming that we didn't really notice the breeze. We were dead lucky, up there on Bodmin Moor. Patrick Moore was down the road in Falmouth and was completely clouded out. We thought we were doomed, but there was a miraculous parting of the clouds for just a few minutes after 11. I don't think that anyone else other than us on Sharp Tor saw totality from the ground. It was the second most brilliant moment of my life. No way am I ever going to tell you what numero uno was but it may have been a little more earthbound...

One of the brightest surprises will be when Betelgeuse goes super nova    (the biggest star in Orion's belt). It will shine with the brightness of the fullmoon for 14 days and nights. For this to happen in your lifetime is less than one in a milion chance but people do win the lottery. This is a conscience guess and not a measure of my daily presience.

PS the super nova will not hurt Earth and to see it in your life time means it has already exploded.

The lunar eclipse was absolutely beautiful from my spare bedroom window, which overlooks the Atlantic. I got some quite nice pics, showing the moon in its true colours, but nowhere near as good as some of those in the papers. I only have a Canon Ixus with a 12X zoom but at least I have a pic and I had a half-hour of sheer wonderment in the middle of the night!

Gold being heavy has a tendency to sink while lighter elements want to float. Deep upwellings from impacts, mountain building to volcanic eruptions brings gold upwards. My theory is if an impact created the circle of fire*, deeper stuff came up if it was down there in the first place.
Where there is quartz there is sometimes gold but so is fool's gold. There are probably better theories about goldmining and origins of gold. Then there could be rare asteroids.

* some think the circle of fire is a massive impact site where the moon came from, composed of Earth+Theo when rock debris was pushed into orbit.

Most interesting Donuel.
I have a theory that one can feel hungry, but underneath the body qualifies that by urging one to seek certain foods which it needs at that time. For instance, when in the supermarket, I might suddenly want some oily fish, or some citrus fruit. I've always tried to obey this 'urge' from the subconscious, and thus manage to keep my vitamins and minerals topped up.
I try to 'listen' to my body. If it needs to rest/sleep, I have a nap.
I think this may be the reason I keep in good health!

Now for an old journey within.
In his psychoanalytic theory of personality, Sigmund Freud suggested that psychic energy is generated by the libido. But how is this psychic energy used? According to Freud, this energy is released through biological means known as drives. A drive has two parts: a biological need and a psychological need. For example, the state of hunger leads to both a physical need for food and a psychological desire to eat. These two forces work together to form a drive to eat food when it is needed.

Freud believed that people continuously generate psychic energy, but only a certain amount is available for use at any point in time. This psychic energy is then used by the three components of personality: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the first location where all of this psychic energy can be found. The id is responsible for satisfying basic needs and desires and operates through the primary process. This energy eventually moves through the other aspects of personality—the ego and the superego. Just remember the Donald is 98% Id.


All this is the tip of the iceberg, the unconscious floats below conscious awareness and is massive.

Anyone want to go there?

I'm setting my alarm for about five in the morning.

We had a very good solar eclipse in March 2015. Most, but not all, of the sun was covered. I was in hospital at the time and I showed a load of nurses and doctors how to see it using a cheap pinhole camera (a pin and a piece of cardboard). I wowed the buggers! The best time was on Aug 11 1999. There was a total solar eclipse visible from Cornwall. We climbed Sharp Tor on Bodmin Moor, half an hour from our house, along with hundreds of others. Bude was no good as the eclipse was only 99% from there. The clouds came over but, at just after 11, they parted slightly and we got a great view of totality. We saw the diamond ring and the corona and it went eerily dark and chilly for two minutes. We could see the shadow rushing towards us, then rushing away again. Magic! We were just about the only people in the country to see it. The clouds stayed over everywhere else. I have an 8mm videotape of it somewhere.

It looks like I will see the lunar eclipse tonight. The last one I saw was the color of a deep peach red and it was warm out instead of being 10 degrees F.
I've seen seven in total and only two solar eclipse

The best show was in May 25th 1975 when I witnessed a large impact on the moon at the 10 o'clock horizon right before the eclipse. Backlighting helped me see it. It was only a seven second event with an after splash like a drop of water.
