DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident.

The Norfolk train derailment that took place in East Palestine, Ohio was one of the worst environmental disasters to happen on the mainland of the USA.
The strange thing about the story is that the vinyl chloride being carried in one of the rail cars, was burned on purpose.

However, I seek to uncover the claims, as always, from first principles.
