Beyond harsh epistemological questions, an idealized scientist is one who uses a powerful tool, science, to search for the truth. Or, at least, to get as close to her. However, while scientists tend to be very curious people who love to solve problems and uncover the hidden fabric of the universe, in many cases they are like the rest of human beings.

There are some products that are advertised as 99.9% caffeine free on the packaging.. Such a drink, for example, would be adequate to drink before going to sleep, because it would not disturb our sleep. Or if we feel jet lag. Or we simply suffer from jet lag. However, things are not what they seem. A drink that is free of caffeine in such a percentage is, for all practical purposes, the same as a single caffeinated coffee.
Charlatanism is impossible to eradicate. The maguferÃas, the fake news, the junk information, the insidious rumors, the myths that are perpetuated generation after generation despite being manifestly false, even very easy to demolish because it contradicts all the scientific literature collected for decades. That is why there is the ironic principle of asymmetry of Brandolini about stupidity: “The amount of energy that is needed to refute (or correct) a stupidity, is of greater magnitude than that needed to produce that same stupidity.”
If he Vantablack It was the blackest color ever achieved (it captures more than 99.995 percent of any incoming light), this new paint is the opposite, the whitest ever achieved (it reflects 98.1% of solar radiation). This new painting has also been thus collected in the Guinness World Records book.
A new study has made it possible to use artificial intelligence-enhanced tools to successfully propose a new drug combination for use against an incurable childhood brain cancer, the diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (GPID). GPID is a type of cancer that occurs in the brainstem, the part of the brain just above the back of the neck and connected to the spine. A quarter of children with DIPG have a mutation in a gene known as ACVR1, but there is currently no treatment targeting this mutation.
Christianity – 2.2 billion faithful. Islam – 1.6 billion faithful. Hinduism – 1.050 million faithful. Buddhism – 488 million faithful. Shintoism or Shintoism – 104 million faithful. We all know the majority religions. But what about the minority hundreds? What is the difference between these and those? And between the official and the popular? A group of anthropologists and historians of religion have wanted to answer this question by comparing official and popular religions in the following study.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of the Etna Observatory has issued a red alert for aviation (Vona), the highest level of alert, due to the record of an intense emission of lava ash. When we were still assimilating the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption on La Palma, which had been dormant for half a century, now the media attention is divided on this new event just a thousand kilometers away.
The island of La Palma it is an island of volcanic origin, that is to say, it exists because it arose after an eruption of an underwater volcano located 4000 meters below sea level. We are, therefore, in an area conducive to volcanic eruptions. It is also the one with the highest number of historical eruptions (registered and documented): the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has registered 16 episodes so far of eruptions that have occurred in Spain since the 15th century in the Canary Islands.
According to a recent study published in Maternal Child Health Journal, with funding from the National Institutes for Nursing Research and in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and the University of Virginia, domestic violence would also affect babies’ cognitive development.
