You may not know that science labs all around the world work in an open matter. They are not into making money, filling for patents or some hegemony plan, but the one on knowledge. So when one has a topic, a substance, a suspect stone, it ships samples to many labs and research center around the world, and all those that ask for it, and everyone starts studying. They even share the chapters sometimes as not to overlap too much.  Usually they meet a couple of years later, in Nice, Rio de Janeiro, Las Vegas and alike to discuss their finding. Anthrax or moon stones = same method, same fight.
  That is the way the world moves ahead, mind you. |
