Simple Science Thoughts

Many animals also exhibit more complex behavioural and physiological changes indicative of the ability to experience pain: they eat less food, their normal behaviour is disrupted, their social behaviour is suppressed, they may adopt unusual behaviour patterns, they may emit characteristic distress calls, experience .

The word is mostly used according to the first definition given in the dictionary: “an intense feeling of deep affection.”

Walt Disney is remembered for his many successes—for Mickey Mouse, for Donald Duck, for Disneyland. But he also saw his share of hard failures including a bankruptcy, a mental breakdown, a devastating strike, and the loss of control over his creation Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

ATM was created by John Shepherd Barron, a Scottish citizen. ... Image source: Useful Information. From ATM, not only money but gold can also be withdrawn. ... The first floating ATM was installed in Kochi, Kerala. ... In Brazil, biometric ATM is used to make banking transactions and passwords safer.

All told, colonizing and/or terraforming the Moon would be comparatively easy compared to other bodies. Due to its proximity, the time it would take to transport people and equipment to and from the surface would be significantly reduced, as would the costs of doing so.

Mosquitoes act as a key food source for fish, birds, lizards, frogs and bats and other animals. Yet no species relies solely on them, as the journal Nature found in 2010. Other insects could flourish in their place, and it seems most species would find alternatives to eat.

Without death, life has no purpose, it just is . Without failure, we have no reason to learn, without suffering, there is no pleasure or purpose in life. Suffering is an intrinsic part of the human condition. ... When we attempt to push our pain, whether physical or emotional, we are causing ourselves to suffer even more

With each heartbeat -- and, remember, there are typically about 70 per minute -- your heart pushes out about 2.4 ounces of life-bringing blood. Over the course of a life, the heart's hard work becomes even clearer: it ultimately pumps 1 million barrels of blood, or enough to fill three supertankers

We don't endorse turning wild animals into pets, but after being rescued from a fisherman's line in Japan in 1996, Lala, a 10-year-old King penguin, decided he liked the company of humans better and refused to leave. After being adopted by a local family, he now makes routine trips to the fish market, wearing a penguin-shaped backpack

But ask some Polish military veterans and they'd probably cite another creature: Wojtek the bear, a 500-to-600-pound brown bear that was essentially adopted by the 22nd Transport Company's Artillery Division in the Polish 2nd Corps, and served as a morale booster to the troops during World War II.Apr

Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas' eastern edge, is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as 7,326m Jomolhari are popular trekking destinations. Paro Taktsang monastery (also known as Tiger's Nest) clings to cliffs above the forested Paro Valley.

Artificial sunlight is the use of a light source to simulate sunlight where the unique characteristics of sunlight are needed, but where sufficient natural sunlight is unavailable or infeasible. A device used to simulate sunlight is a solar simulator.

And about one in 100,000 jumps by fully trained parachutists ends in death. Once a parachute fails, nous and experience help survival chances, but luck even more so.

Most people who smoke tobacco start during their teenage years or as a young adult. There are many reasons why a person starts to smoke. For some teens, it is a way to rebel against their parents. Other teens may feel pressure from their friends (peer pressure) and begin smoking as a way to appear cool.

In the report, BNEF outlines that electric vehicles (EVs) will hit 10% of global passenger vehicle sales in 2025, with that number rising to 28% in 2030 and 58% in 2040. ... Compare this to 2020, where EVs make up 33% of municipal buses, 30% of two-wheeled vehicles and 2% of light commercial vehicles

In the real world, extraordinary strength can occur via science. A person can become stronger, tougher, and more physically powerful than would seem humanly possible when using enhancements such as doping, substances and training.

Although passengers and crew may see a flash and hear a loud noise if lightning strikes their plane, nothing serious should happen because of the careful lightning protection engineered into the aircraft and its sensitive components. Initially, the lightning will attach to an extremity such as the nose or wing tip.

Older adults can get shorter because the cartilage between their joints gets worn out and osteoporosis causes the spinal column to become shorter,” he says. “Adults can also lose lean muscle mass but gain fat. This is a condition called sarcopenia

The simple explanation for the Red Planet's color is that its regolith, or surface material, contains lots of iron oxide — the same compound that gives blood and rust their hue.Aug

There is now a scientific consensus that the blood rain phenomenon is caused by aerial spores of green microalgae Trentepohlia annulata. ... Today, the dominant theories are that the rain is caused by red dust suspended in the water (rain dust) or by the presence of micro-organisms

Animals have keen senses that help them avoid predators or locate prey. It is thought that these senses might also help them detect pending disasters. ... One theory is that animals sense the earth's vibrations. Another is that they can detect changes in the air or gases released by the earth.

They have a totally different voice box than humans, which gives them much more control over their vocal tract. The syrinx is responsible for birds' incredible range, the ability to produce two sounds at once, and why they can sing continuously. Some birds use this unique physiology to mimic.

Neutron stars can be dangerous because of their strong fields. If a neutron star entered our solar system, it could cause chaos, throwing off the orbits of the planets and, if it got close enough, even raising tides that would rip the planet apart.

Trees are a crucial part of the carbon cycle, a global process in which carbon dioxide constantly circulates through the atmosphere into organism and back again. ... Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly HIGHER amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and LOWER amounts of oxygen.

By 2020, the Tian Fu New Area Science Society plans to launch an artificial moon to light up the night sky. If the plan goes through, the so-called “illumination satellite” would orbit above the Chinese city of Chengdu and glow in conjunction with the actual moon, but shine eight times brighter.

By that point, all life on the Earth will be extinct. The most probable fate of the planet is absorption by the Sun in about 7.5 billion years, after the star has entered the red giant phase and expanded beyond the planet's current orbit.

Over time, swashbucklers who often found themselves embroiled in combat had learned how to adapt. Of course, the only way to move stealthily through the dark of night was to utilize your eyes to the fullest. By wearing a patch over one eye, pirates could “trick” their vision into adjusting to darkness more quickly.

A volcano is any hole or rupture in planetorial mass ( ex. Earth ) that forms when a liquid rock called magma surfaces and piles eventually forming a mountain. Volcanoes only form during plate boundaries. There are at least 1500 mountains confirmed volcanic on earth. Among them are 500 active.

Each September, the wood frogs of Alaska do a very strange thing: They freeze. They do not freeze totally solid, but they do freeze mostly solid. Two-thirds of their body water turns to ice. If you picked them up, they would not move. If you bent one of their legs, it would break. Inside these frozen frogs other weird physiological things are going on. Their hearts stop beating, their blood no longer flows and their glucose levels sky rocket

The Pyramids of Giza, built between 2589 and 2504 BC. The ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids may have been able to move massive stone blocks across the desert by wetting the sand in front of a contraption built to pull the heavy objects, according to a new study.

Squids are some of the fastest swimmers in the ocean world. They generate special water jets by sucking in and expelling water through contractions of a muscular sac to propel themselves through the water. The robot carries its own power source and is made out of a soft acrylic polymer and a few rigid, 3D-printed parts. It can also be outfitted with sensors and a camera for exploring underwater worlds. The intent of soft robotics is to ensure that underwater life is protected from bumps and scrapes.

XB-1, which is believed to boast a top speed of Mach 2.2 – almost 1,700mph, will only have room for one pilot – an experienced US Air Force recruit. It will reportedly go through testing at California's Mojave Air and Space Port in 2021.

If all the ice covering Antarctica , Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. 

The consequences of a second moon orbiting the Earth depend on how massive that moon is and how far from the Earth it orbits. The most obvious effect would be that the ocean tides would be altered. Tides could be either smaller or higher and there could be more than two high tides per day.

The entire food chain would collapse, most species would die off, including humans, since crops we rely on for sustenance would all disappear! So, when we say ocean salinization is important, don't take it with a grain of salt.

Pluto's classification as a planet has had a history of changes. Since 2006, per the International Astronomical Union's planetary criteria, Pluto isn't considered a planet because it hasn't cleared the neighborhood around its orbit of other objects.

The most probable fate of the planet is absorption by the Sun in about 7.5 billion years, after the star has entered the red giant phase and expanded beyond the planet's current orbit.

Roughly 300,000 kilometers (200,000 miles) from Jupiter, radiation would penetrate your suit and you'd die. ... This is a lot faster than you'd fall from the top of Earth's atmosphere because Jupiter's gravity is much stronger than Earth's. You'll still be able to see the sun, but don't expect it to heat you up

Earth travels 18 1/2 miles through space, and the International Space Station travels 5 miles around us. In that same second, an unbelievable 20,000 cans of Coca-Cola are sold, along with 9 iPhones. 4 thousand stars are born across the universe. 60 sets of this happen every minute, and then 60 sets of that every hour, and then 24 hour-long sets every day…that gives us 86,400 seconds in a day, and more than 31 million seconds in a year.

If human beings were to achieve immortality, there would most likely be a change in the world's social structures. Sociologists argue that human beings' awareness of their own mortality shapes their behavior.

If for any reason the Sun shrank smaller than the Earth, this shrunken Sun wouldn't have the mass to create fusion and would burn out completely. Our solar system would lose its only star. ... Earth's mass would be at least 333,000 times bigger than it is now. Imagine the gravity that planet would have.

If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. ... Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron.

Everyone will end up either at the bottom of walls, rocks or holes or sliding around. Unable to move and slowly dying through lack of water or dying from broken bones. If earth suddenly lost friction we'd all die in massive earthquakes and tsunamis as all the pent up tectonic energy everywhere is released at once

Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This can include rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.

The earliest known life-forms on Earth are putative fossilized microorganisms, found in hydrothermal vent precipitates, that may have lived as early as 4.28 Gya (billion years ago), relatively soon after the oceans formed 4.41 Gya, and not long after the formation of the Earth

If we put it near the Earth, the ocean would just fall back down into the atmosphere. As it fell, it would heat up and turn to steam, which would condense and fall right back into the ocean as rain.

The discovery that the atmosphere of Venus absorbs a precise frequency of microwave radiation has just turned planetary science on its head. An international team of scientists used radio telescopes in Hawaii and Chile to find signs that the clouds on Earth's neighbouring planet contain tiny quantities of a molecule called phosphine.

Jupiter would be massive enough to become a red dwarf – a small, cool, hydrogen-burning star. ... Because Jupiter is four times further away from us than the Sun, 588 million kilometers away, the Earth wouldn't get much heat from it. By and large, Jupiter turning into a red dwarf wouldn't change anything for life on Earth

The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy they are able to use. The measure was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964
