Everything is everywhere. That was my takeaway from an excited, young Los Alamos scientist. He had just finished an experiment where he spent three years manufacturing 100 pounds of gas, a benign isotope of krypton that did not exist on the planet. He also placed a magnetic resonant interferometer, MRI, specifically made to detect his krypton isotope gas, on every American military base around the world. He described, to the group of physics graduates I was with, how, when every MRI was in place and sampling, then carried the 100-pound bottle of gas out on the lawn, and opened it.<\/p>\n

Within three days it had been detected at all of the bases and within one week it was a homogenous part of the atmosphere. I wonder if I\u2019ve been getting inoculated since October 2019. I wish my nose didn\u2019t itch so.<\/p>\n
