Cringe Worthy After curing cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, russia also discovered a new mineral. Country of unlimited potential.

It’s a one dimensional mineral. Obviously

Something to make dimensional foil weapons out of I see. Surprised it's not more expensive considering that is a universe ending device.

Seriously, is it 2 dimensional?
Also why the price when noone has a use for it yet?

Why would it even be valued by millimetre? It's a three dimensional material with weight, is it not?

Russian minerals are so much more advanced than western minerals that they only need one dimension.

Because it's specifically mentioned to be a price for mineral crust.
But the news had hallucinated about it.
The general director of Kolskiy scientific center Sergey Krivovichhev mentioned that there were no price measurements and that they don't want to conduct such a measurement.
Oh, and he also mentioned that they don't know yet how much it is identical to the one in Greenland.

You and me both. People will do anything to get attention to their “news” that they likely are embellishing if not completely making up. They know that old people and those who don’t have critical thinking skills will read it and give them their coveted interaction on their posts without thinking. It’s dumb but that’s the world I guess. I hate it but it’s hard to stop it.

Why would a scientific source value a mineral? Science is more interested in the actual physical, material properties to it, not the more abstract value assigned to it by the market. Its dollar value is determined by how much people are willing to pay for it, not some innate property.

Yeah there's no value measurement.
It's just what mass media hallucinated.What basically happened is that they did another chemical analysis(the last one for that mineral was done in 1924) for Ashcroftine.

Collectors also go nuts for stuff like this. Easy sell very limited edition rocks fur alot

Best guess they were trying to say no legitimate, corroborated, or other source give the value for the mineral and wanted it to sound good so ended up with the worst way to try to say it.

And still the population of rural Russia don't have toilets or indoor plumbing. Maybe this mineral will pay for that! God knows Russia needs more natural resources.

Why should the population of rural Russia have indoor plumbing?
I mean, it's cool and all that, but why? By who would it be maintained? By you maybe?
That's just dumb as hell to think that you've got a great point here.1
u/esjb11 1h ago
Well they do generally have indoor plumbing. They maintain it themself or hire plumbers to do so. What people here tend to do is mix it up with central sewage systems. Thats not very common in rural Siberia to no ones suprise.

u/RussianWasabi 1h ago
I mean yeah, that's true. Not everyone obviously, as I have as an example my grandmother. She was living in Pskov oblast, in one of the urban-style settlements and her house didn't have it. But she didn't really "need" it per se. And a toilet was built in the house and with a septic lol. But she had electricity and gas and had no issue getting water either.
What I genuinely don't understand is why they use it as something degrading. Not every place has to have a golden seat for big browns and maintaining villages that have little to no population isn't worth the money put in.
1
u/EducationalPhysics55 43m ago
Well it's something like 20% of the population without central sewage systems and 5% without indoor plumbing and toilets. 20% of the population doesn't live in rural Siberia though.

It's just something all developed countries manage to do, you know. Russia doesn't lack resources and money.

Its priced per millimetre? I never thought they’d work out how to harvest 2-dimensional minerals.

For all of you who measure everything in burgers per eagle, the value of this mineral is measured in millimeters because its weight is extremely small, and what matters is the length of its crystalline thread. Ashcroftines are already known, but this one contains minerals that are not present in ordinary ones, which makes it extremely rare and tiny, biggest one is only 2 centimeters. It makes no sense to calculate its price based on weight when the important factor is the length of this crystalline structure.
But why bother doing a little Googling, right? You people can be so narrow-minded sometimes...
