Greetings fantastic readers. Thanks for being here. I’m still recovering from the weekend. Me and the Gutterminds spent Saturday night at the Bird and Hand Pub playing our best Toxik Idols and Stones. I spent most of yesterday watching the kids play football. Its not as much fun as snowball but since we have so little snow on Kusha it’ll have to do.
Over the past several post I’ve been telling you a few things about Kusha that you might not know. Before I start discussing some of the technology available here I thought I’d better mention one of Kusha’s most interesting feature. “Ring D”
Who doesn’t know that Kusha has a spectacular ring system? It is one of the planet’s most striking features. But not everyone knows that Ring D is a double helix.
The double helix is one of the most important shapes in the universe. DNA is a double helix and without the ubiquitous DNA we would not have life.
One of the big things we learned when we were first exposed to the Encyclopedia Galactica was that DNA molecules naturally form in magnetic fields where gravity has little or no impact. For centuries humans believed that the creation of life required divine intervention.
Now we know that DNA exists all over the Galaxy and anywhere it’s given a place with oxygen and water it will grow into something called life.
Astronomers figure that ring D formed a double helix in Kusha’s heavy magnetic field. It is speculated that some object hit some stones in the ring sending them into a spiral and they twisted the formation over the eons. It can’t be seen from the surface but I’ve seen several photographs of it in Kushan homes.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
