Usually when I...It's not even the right cactus! Usually when I see this promoted, they're specifically mentioning <i>Cereus peruvianus</i>.<br /><br />It is technically correct, if misleadingly phrased: light, heat, and ultraviolet light are all forms of electromagnetic radiation, and cacti do absorb them, which is why we can't see through cacti. But I'm almost positive NASA wouldn't have done a study about this, because NASA would have no use for it; cacti wouldn't block all forms of radiation (I'm pretty sure they're transparent to x-rays and gamma-rays); and a freaking sheet of cardboard would block most radiation just as well as a cactus, if not better. <br /><br />So what were they thinking? They were thinking, <i>we've got a bunch of these cheap $2 cacti sitting around; what could we tell people so they'll pay us six times what they're worth?</i>mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.com
