This story makes me scratch my head and wonder. Not philosophically. More about the mind-numbing toss that passes for news these days.

Apparently the newly discovered Jadarite has the same "unique chemistry" as Kryptonite. Well, bonza. Not the most exciting of stories - but could pass as mildly interesting. But then Dr Chris Stanley points out that the mineral, rather than glowing green and crippling superheroes, it is actually white and harmless. Making it not a lot like Kryptonite, I would have thought. Compounded by the fact that Kryptonite is not real - unlike Jadarite.

So the sum total of the story is Jadarite is not really like Kryptonite. Making it not much of a story, surely?

I must be missing something.
