Botulinum Toxin (Botox) is the Most Lethal Natural Toxin Known
Botulinum Toxin (AKA “Botox”) is the most lethal natural toxin known to human kind, that fact helps explain its paralytic effect.
Physical Sciences
The Physical Sciences are branches of science that study non-living systems including Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics.
All Electrons and Positrons Could Be a Single Entity
The one-electron universe theory postulates that all electrons and positrons are actually a single entity moving back and forth in time.
Potentially, Everything is Light
Nikola Tesla was said to have said “everything is light.” That is potentially correct. In theory, the universe could be explained by electromagnetic energy.
The Speed of Light is Constant (in a Perfect Vacuum)
In theory, the speed of light, in a perfect vacuum, measured from an inertial frame, is constant with an exact value of 299,792,458 m/s.
There is a Limit to How Many Times You Can Fold a Piece Paper
There is no limit to the amount of times one can fold a piece of paper in half if the paper is large enough. However, because the thickness of the paper grows exponentially, a lot of paper would be needed to make more than 8 folds.
There are More than Four States of Matter
The classical states of matter observable in every day life are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, but there are many other known states of matter.
We Drink the Same Water that Socrates, Jesus, and Buddha Drank
Water is continuously mixed and recycled, so the odds are in favor of us sharing at least some molecules of it with Socrates, Jesus, Buddha, or anyone from past eras.
How to Understand the Politics of the Climate Change Debate
To understand the climate change debate, it is important to clarify some confusion regarding climate change denial and skepticism.
How to Lose Body Fat, According to Science
We explain how to lose body fat from a scientific standpoint, and offer simple science-based advice on dieting, weight loss, and exercise.
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.
