Traditional microscopy approaches analyse thin 2D slices of tissue, and the researchers think that's why SPFs haven't been spotted before – they themselves are very thin, and they only appear temporarily.
In this case the team made the equivalent of a 3D movie of the immune system in action, which revealed the collection of many different types of immune cell in these SPFs. The researchers describe them as a "one-stop shop" for fighting off remembered infections, and fighting them quickly.
Collectively, these results identify teleological thinking as a new predictor of conspiracism, independent of agency perception, anthropomorphism, science rejection, analytical thinking and randomness perception. As a finalist and purpose-driven view of the natural world, teleological thinking has long been associated with creationism and identified as an obstacle to the acceptance of evolutionary theory. We suggest that this powerful cognitive bias extends to social and historical events, and nowadays to conspiracy narratives. As such, creationism could be seen as a conspiracist belief system (indeed, involving the ultimate conspiracy theory: the purposeful creation of all things, and conspiracism as a type of creationist belief targeting socio-historic events (e.g. specific events have been purposefully created by an all-powerful agency).This is a direct and deadly answer to the forward motion of science caused by PURPOSE. Most of medicine and biology had been blocked and motionless for 50 years while the randomists and deathists were in full control. Now that PURPOSE is starting to drive observation, NEW AND USEFUL science is starting to emerge. USEFUL science is the perfect sin in the mind of a theorist. SCIENCE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO SOLVE HUMAN PROBLEMS. INTOLERABLE UNACCEPTABLE ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE.
