I wonder if @babe is having tea with the Queen of England or maybe having lunch with a prominent chemical engineer, explaining to him/her how atoms don't really work the way they think they do.

I just love this sort of figuring. I am not a snob, though. I'm not a fav of Armand Hammer, and have no status as a Russian Ambassador nor as the son of such, so I have no need to hide behind an ignore button, although in one case I did put someone on ignore because the arguments went nowhere.

The Queen of England, as was Maurice Strong, clearly is uninclined to give me no consequence, either. I think my interest in genealogy has given me a better perspective on humanity, considering I am descended from famous evildoers who did one another in but failed to leave the world unblemished by their progeny, a thousand times over and over and over. People make movies about my ancestors. and huge historical tomes.

As for the atoms and chemical engineers, I'm pretty sure most engineers know little about the elements, beyond partial differential equations for mixing solutions and pipe transport and tank compositions and reaction rates.

I am a student of "cold fusion", now termed "LENR" or Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, a branch of science that was impressively naysayed, but has not gone away.

Does @babe read philosophy?

I laugh at my own jokes.

While I am an astute student of the cow-philosophers who know the meaning of life and don't really need corrals or troughs or cowboys, I pretty much reject human philosophers as being so full of **** their ideas stink.

Cows know when to let it go.

Me too...

All Europeans are descended from exactly the same people, and not that long ago. Everyone alive in the 10th century who left descendants is the ancestor of every living European today, including Charlemagne, and his children Drogo, Pippin, and, of course, not forgetting Hugh.

Exactly.

Here's the math:

with of course wide variance, a generation is 30 plus or minus almost fifteen years Considering the times, and the health care facilities, it's p robably closer to 22 plus or minus 10 or so. But let's just take a figure that's pretty sure to understate the point..... 30.

ten generations every 300 years. ......... so there has to be 1024 ancestors on the chart 300 years ago. My ancestry in Connecticut has quite a few "redundancies" back around 1750 to 1650, maybe 20 or so..... but still roughly 1000 unique ancestors. But unlike Pocahontas, I have only 46 strands of DNA, and one RNA from my mom. So it's really mathematically unsound to believe we carry actual DNA from more than 47 of those 1000. And it's possible, in fact likely, that a set of present day humans who have the exact same set of ancestors from 300 years ago, may actually have no common DNA/RNA strands.

Then another 300 years gives us a million, an d another 300 years back gives us a billion ancestors to look for. Not likely there were a billion humans 900 years ago, and given the mobilityh of the age, it's certain there are quite a few people with common ancestry, likely more than a thousand common ancestors..... or it you're from England, say....a hundred thousand, or likely almost every Englishman then living. But still only 47 unique strands of genetic material, and that with lots of microheterogeneities..... fancy word for mutations of small size maybe with no effects.

So there you have it. I am SirKickie's cuz a hundred ways from Sunday, whether he likes it or not.
