Badastronomer recon this is bad.
wonder if we’ll see a "professional’ response from Wickmysingsong.
Incidentally, how does one pronounce the word "diatom"? Is it "die-atom" or "dia-tom"?
My geology profs from yonks ago used to say ‘die-a-tom’, with a shorter pause between the last two sounds.
More on the Wickramasinghe diatoms find. They brought out some more stuff, but it’s the same. Use with a pinch of salt. The Bad Astronomer had this to say. http://afsky.wozaonline.co.za/Newsletter
