Blood Sugar Affects Hunger, Weight Gain, and Energy Levels
Carbohydrates (especially simple ones like sugars) “spike” blood sugar (glucose) levels. This triggers insulin production, causes hunger, and primes the body for weight gain.
Natural and Physical Sciences
A broad category referring to the study of the physical universe including nature and biology.
Sex, Gender, and Sexuality Are Binary
Studies have shown there is no single determinant of sex, gender, or sexuality. In terms of both sex (genetic) and gender (a social construct), a binary distinction of “male or female” fails to describe a wide range of humans in practice. Meanwhile, sexuality (a preference) eludes any simple categorization as well. Simply put, despite some binary aspects (for example a person either has a Y gene or they don’t), Gender, Sex, and Sexuality are all non-binary and each is instead a complex spectrum… and we can prove it with science and logic.
The Bed of Nails Principle
The bed of nails principle states that while laying on one nail is enough to puncture a person’s skin, laying on many distributed nails isn’t.
The Hubble Telescope Uses Real Colors
The Hubble Space Telescope images use real colors in the sense that their color palette correlates with the wavelengths of observed light.
A Fluid is Any Substance That Flows
A fluid is any substance that flows, including liquids, gasses, plasmas, and to some extent, even plastic solids like Silly Putty.
We Only Use 10% of Our Brain
The average human uses 100% of the brain on a daily basis, and there is no “silent areas” of a normal healthy human brain.
All Waves Transfer Energy
All waves (including sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and even water waves) transfer energy, and all energy is transferred in a wave-like motion.
All Elementary Particles Exhibit Wave-Particle Duality
All elementary particles exhibit wave-particle duality, acting as both a particle and a wave.
Visible Light is Electromagnetic Radiation
Visible light is a range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye (wavelengths of about 390 to 700 nm).
What is Light?
We explain “light,” both as electromagnetic radiation within a visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as electromagnetic energy carried by photons.
