Crossing genes from spiders and goats, humans are developing materials stronger than steel.
Many people believe that we are constrained to move no faster than the speed of light. However, if the speed of light changes relative to time and gravity we could theoretically travel faster than 3*10^8 m/s. This theory is exploring these possibilities.
A planet 40 light years away has been confirmed to be made up of mostly water (or what appears to be water). The diversity in our universe is astounding, I can’t wait till more finds like these are made.
Mathematical Music
Though interesting when applied to music, I wonder what implications non-patterned sequences could have.
I have read the website and checked out its links and will definitely be using this during my gap year. However, unlike my other posts I have not studied it and thus cannot yet confirm its usefulness.
TDCS offers humans a way to double their learning speed. Studies have shown that using this for half an hour each week can double the speed people are retaining and acquiring knowledge at. Right now I have two concerns? Are there adverse health effects, maybe later in life? And where can I get one?
Using few chemicals to make proto-cells Martin Hanczyc successfully made blobs that could resemble the first forms of life on earth.
The video above attempts to explain the weight of the internet. Apart from being interesting this also gets me thinking, if the internet weighs so little would it not be possible to learn everything on it?
Just finished watching an 11 part documentary on 11 different evolutionary aspects that have been key to earth’s evolution. A very interesting watch. One insignificant fault, however, is that they claim dinosaurs to be cold blooded.
A neutrino walks into a bar.
The bartender asks, “What will it be?”
The neutrino replies “Oh nothing, I’m just passing through.”
The above video examines theories on what would allow neutrinos to travel faster than the speed of light. I find it particularly interesting conceptualizing on what it would mean if neutrinos had an imaginary mass and could move through a different dimension.
Obviously though, there is a lot of doubt to this, take this article for example.
