Saving ‘Half-Earth’ for nature would affect over a billion people. Researchers say that while radical action is urgently required for the future of life on Earth, issues of environmental justice and human wellbeing should be at the forefront of the conservation movement. cam.ac.uk/research/news/s…
Mankind's destruction of nature is driving species to the brink of extinction at an "unprecedented" rate, the leading wildlife conservation body warned Thursday as it added more than 7,000 animals, fish and plants to its endangered "Red List" france24.com/en/20190718-…
"The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines an element to exist if its lifetime is longer than 10^−14 seconds (0.01 picoseconds, or 10 femtoseconds), which is the time it takes for the nucleus to form an electron cloud." — What does this mean?
The quote is from the wikipedia page on the Extended Periodic Table — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table
I'm unable to find more information online about what it means for an electron cloud to "form", and how that time period of 10 femtoseconds was derived/measured. Any clarification would be much appreciated!

[WP]"Disturbing evolution" is a crime. Farming, gardening, and other cultivation of plants are illegal, as are conservation efforts, modern medicine etc. You can be arrested for saving someone's life. If Nature means for it to die, it should. If Nature means for it to live, it won't need help.
[WP] Mother Nature comes to you in a dream, chooses you as her avatar, and tells you the date of the end of the world with current conservation efforts. You now have to decide what to do next.

During and immediately after WW2, military leaders like MacArthur and Zhukov had major influence within the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union. Did this have any impact on the aggressive, confrontational, militarized nature of the early Cold War?
Reading about North Korea's famous songbun policy of the military's power over civilian government made me wonder if there were any parallels with allied governments at the eve of the Cold War.
