Often seen at public events in a full-length ballgown, diamond earrings and a slash of trademark red lipstick, Dr Ruja Ignatova has been described as "a cross between Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Steve Jobs". Her unbridled glamour certainly belied her on-paper credentials: as one of the richest women in Europe, the consultant working in international finance had a degree from Oxford University, a PhD in law and a stint with the hallowed management consultancy McKinsey. If you were going to trust someone launching a cryptocurrency, it would be her.

At one of the U.S.’s busiest Starbucks, there are background checks. And no names on cups.

Survival knots, otherwise known as bushcraft knots, are essential knots that are strong and easy to untie. There are plenty of useless knots that are not that strong and requires cutting, because of the immense difficulty to untie.

“I was at home and that scary red monster thing from that stupid Looney Tunes show was hanging around,” reads the dream diary of Izzy, a teenage girl. “There were lots of them trying to get in and I was scared to death.”

'Think of it as a science experiment. This is cyborg territory, and I intend to be a human guinea pig to see just how far we can turn science fiction into reality'

Is it possible to distance one-self from endless levels of bias in order to create something entirely new? In other words: can we come up with an idea (concept, story, philosophy, art or anything, really) that is not directly derived from a similar already existing structure?

Cattle herds in the Okavango delta region in Botswana are plagued by attacks by lions and other predators, prompting farmers to retaliate by killing the predators. An alternative nonlethal technique involves painting eyes on the butts of cattle to trick ambush predators like lions into thinking they've been spotted by their intended prey. It's called the "Eye-Cow Project," and a recent paper published in the journal Communications Biology provides some solid empirical evidence for the practice. There are now practical guides for using the "eye-cow" technique available in both English and Setswana, so farmers can try it out for themselves.

ZDoggMD gets into the nitty gritty on the upcoming covid vaccine.

In 1942, an Indian forest ranger discovered a remote lake, high in the Himalayas, full of human skeletons. Who were they?

The story goes that in 1963, Tanzanian high school student Erasto Mpemba was making ice cream with his class when he impatiently put his sugar and milk concoction into the ice cream churner when it was still hot, instead of letting it cool first.

The population of the planet reached seven billion in October, according to the United Nations. But what's the figure for all those who have lived before us? It is often said that there are more people alive today than have ever lived - and this "fact" has raised its head again since the UN announcement about the planet's population reaching a new high.

It’s easy to forget that tires are important shock absorbers that work alongside the rest of the suspension system to smooth your ride since you never get to watch some of the work they do. Until you put a camera in one.

You say you want to be a crime writer? Ever thought of studying physics? I’m serious. While many automatically think of an English degree as the gateway to literary success, it’s also true that science-savvy novelists have excelled in every genre. Think of Primo Levi and E.L. Koingsburg, both chemists, Vladimir Nabokov, who was an entomologist and lepidopterist, mathematician Lewis Carroll, and contemporary authors Lisa Genova, a neuroscientist, or physicist Alan Lightman.

The weird anatomy of pro bowling balls, exposed on camera. You'll never look at the pastime the same way again.

Biotech and nanotech have a great potential for disruption to every human-made system we have today, including death. Below is a toy example of how immortality would completely change the structure of society, an example so simple it may seem silly, but which illuminates the principles clearly.

Physicists seem to be on a roll these days. Unfortunately, I’m not talking about a string of new discoveries about the fundamental nature of reality, but of a panoply of speculative notions ranging from the plausible but empirically untestable (and therefore non-scientific), such as Sean Carroll’s marketing of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, to sheer nonsense on stilts, like the idea that is the subject of this essay.
