imatfaal Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Oh come on Mike - this is a science forum, the least the members should be able to expect is a link to a news story, and preferably a citation from a journal. But a vague story that does not raise any hits on google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a vague story that does not raise any hits on google?We need to understand the geography of invention , and innovation. Down here in the West Country , particularly Devon and Cornwall has a good history of inventors . Newcomen , with invention of the Newcomen engine led the birth of the industrial revolution, a steam pump draining the tin mines of Cornwall. Devon, hosted the Elmhursts who started a revolutionary method of farming , and education. Darlington Hall became a focus to this day , to leading new and innovative method. ( including Schuamacher " small is beautiful . The. Schumaker college had its home at Darlington. In recent years Guy Watson ,started Riverford Farm , with organic vegetables delivered to local homes, now it is a national distributor of organic vegetables. Up until recently , James Lovelock was a resident of Devon . He the inventor of the Gia Hypothesis , led the field in warning of the mistreatment of the Earth as an environment. And the list , goes on . Our Farmer " Richard Pratt " similarly pioneered a method for producing Unsaturated fat beef meat, where the effects on eating ,where, it is described above . " walking on air" as opposed to " sleepiness . I will interview him more so as to get further information . Please do not dismiss the original thought ,going on in Devon and Cornwall. I think it is the fresh air, sunny beaches and rural life that has inspired many a west country , entrepreneur and inventor! Mike Despite the fact there are two agricultural colleges in Devon . Bicton College and Seal Hayne ( now Plymouth University ) , many of the research Universities lay further up the country ,at the university cities like London, Oxford, Cambridge , Durham etc . However the pioneering research is done in Wellington boots , the clarty fields and on sheep populated moors Edited December 19, 2014 by Mike Smith Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Exeter has a Russell group university. I don't really accept your argument or even know what you're arguing for. Can you cite any publications about your opening post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really accept your argument or even know what you're arguing for. Can you cite any publications about your opening post? I think at this stage , it is unfair to ask a " full blown , dedicated Devonshire farmer , clad in Wellington boots , for a complete dossier , however he is quite adamant of his findings , as can be seen in the photo , he has won a silver cup. I will ask him , for further documentation . Mike Edited December 19, 2014 by Mike Smith Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 There are done clear claims made in the opening post. You need some evidence else you'll be competing with my cows from kennford that make you invisible when you eat them on the second Tuesday of the month.

This farmer has spent many years harbouring this knowledge. Including nursing this picture of him as a younger man . In desperation he has come to me , lest his secret dies with him , as he has no offspring , as far as I can ascertain. I have just telephoned him , no response yet ! However he is a regular visitor to the town . And seeks me out. There are these people about , and we need to nurse their ideas into the public arena , lest they be lost. I mean look at the countryside here in Cullompton , it is enough to inspire any thinking farmer , to great ideas . Even an Heron has landed on the ' golden section ' 3 /8 down 5/8 up also, 5/8 across , 3/8 in ( art speak ) Mike Edited December 19, 2014 by Mike Smith Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I agree. A bug part is finding what evidence he has and showing him what is required to convince others. I actually think the evidence bar here is quite low and relatively easy. Foods are tested all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
