There are a few behaviors that mother orangutans (orangutan mothers, specifically) exhibit that suggest that they are monitoring their surroundings for any potential threats. One of these behaviors is known as “after waiting for the next (7) minutes.” After waiting for the next (7) minutes, orangutan mothers will usually alert each other if they have […]

According to the concept of physics, the universe should never have existed
There are some physicists out there who believe that the universe shouldn’t have existed. They say that it should have been destroyed in a big explosion billions of years ago, but somehow it didn’t happen. They call this theory the theory of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Argument for the Non-Existence of the Universe According to […]
The Lancet published a global fertility survey from 1950 to 2017.
One of the most important things you can do for your family is have children. But, as more and more couples choose to have fewer children, the world’s population is growing older. In order to keep up with this demographic shift, scientists at The Lancet have published a study that looks at global fertility rates […]
In November 2018, a Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, announced that he had genetically modified human beings, causing shockwaves throughout the scientific and health community around the world.
As society becomes increasingly reliant on technology, it’s not surprising that concerns over genetic modification and other advancements in science would arise. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the potential implications of this Chinese scientist’s announcement and what you can do to stay safe if such technologies are ever developed within […]
Earth is the only planet in the universe as we know it.
For a long time, scientists believed that there must be other planets out there in the universe. And now, we know that they were right – there is one planet out there that is very similar to Earth and is said to be the only planet in the universe as we know it. What is […]
Scientists who are creating therapies to eliminate HIV have used a drug called LASER ART as well as a gene editing method to test laboratory mice.
Laser Art and gene editing are two of the most promising methods scientists have found for curing HIV infection. Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta conducted a study where they used both laser art and gene editing to test their effectiveness on laboratory mice. The results were positive, and suggest that these methods could be […]
In the workplace, robots, AI (artificial intelligence) factory, In factories, they are forced to do repetitive and boring tasks, while humans are responsible for the thinking and supervising parts.
Robots and AI are changing the way we work in factories. In the past, factories were filled with machines that forced humans to do repetitive and boring tasks. But now, robots and AI are changing the way we work in factories. The robots that are used in factories today are not as advanced as those […]
I forgowt ho I was able to see the first image of the net. An irreplaceable young computer scientist
When I was in college, I had the opportunity to work with a brilliant young computer scientist. His name was AlexNet, and he changed the way we see image recognition algorithms. Today, you might be wondering how you can access his legacy and see the first image on the internet. Luckily, there’s an app for […]
Einstein’s theory of relativity is a physical theory that best explains the large objects in our universe.
In 1905, Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, which is the most accurate description of the physical world we know. This theory explains how large objects move and how their motion affects smaller objects. It also provides a foundation for understanding time and space. What is Einstein’s theory of relativity? Einstein’s theory of relativity […]
