Proven: Men are more likely to be idiots

That nobody take this as a sexist article.Maybe if a man wrote it, he would give it another approach, but that science confirms something that women have been suspecting for a lifetime, is a triumph.The fact is that the British Medical Journal recently confirmed the theory of male idiocy and that many times they do very stupid things. The funny thing is that the study has been led by a 15-year-old British teenager named Ben Lendrem, the son of a prestigious medical professional, who has become the youngest researcher in history to publish in a medical journal. Would he be fed up? Young Ben to listen again and again to the famous stereotype that the boys are idiots , and even to check it among their parents? What kind of guy is asked to check the theory of male idiocy? The fact that a male, moreover, a young boy, has been the promoter of an investigation of this seems to me enough argument not to consider it a sexist initiative. Men and women do not behave the same Other inv...

The sun shield that some scientists want to build

Faced with the imminent threat of solar flares that could seriously affect life on Earth, a group of scientists has proposed a novel form of protection: a gigantic sun shield .. With a sun shield we could protect the Earth from the king star, according to scientists Human activity in the 21st century increasingly depends on the infrastructure located in the orbit Low Terrestrial (LEO), that is, the many telecommunications satellites currently in space, the International Space Station and the GPS satellite fleet. For this reason, the solar flares have begun to be considered a serious danger to human life, because if this infrastructure is destroyed we would be left without the tools that make our comfortable existence on the planet possible. To treat this threat a team of scientists from Harv University ard recently published a study that proposes a bold solution: put a giant magnetic shield in orbit. The study, which was the work of Manasavi Lingam and Abraham Loeb of...

Stephen Hawking's postuma theory proposes that the universe is not infinite

Stephen Hawking's postuma theory , perhaps the most important of the famous astrophysicist, presents a vision of the cosmos much simpler than that of other current models.Is the universe not infinite as it has been proposed for decades? According to this work concluded by Hawking a few months after his death, the universe has limits, it is finite . Stephen Hawking's postuma theory Before that the Stephen Hawking postuma theory , developed in collaboration with Professor Thomas Hertog of the University of Leuven, Belgium, was published recently in the Journal of High Energy Physics , it was argued that the universe was born from a brief explosion during a minimum fraction of a second after the Big Bang, when the cosmos began to expand exponentially .This vision of the cosmos also proposes that , once inflation begins, for quantum effects there are regions that never stop growing.That is, inflation is eternal, which translates into an infinite universe. Stephen Hawki...

Earth's magnetic poles, will they change soon?

If the outer space seems intriguing to us, the earth does not remain behind because even if it is our house for millions of years and we believe we know it, it still hides many mysteries that we are not yet able to decipher as is the case of the operation of the Earth's Magnetic Poles. What is its usefulness, how do they work, and how do changes in them affect us? These are questions that we will now try to answer. Earth's magnetic poles, will they change soon? The functionality of the Earth's Magnetic Poles it is to keep us safe from the inclement weather coming from space, such as solar radiation, creating a kind of invisible shield.They are also responsible for maintaining the balance and position, a little inclined, to the Earth.But far from that perhaps we can imagine the position of the Magnetic Poles itself, it is not always the same but that it is changing moving even to exchange the north with the south, that if always staying perpendicular to each other. ...

The Haitian ZOMBIS CREATOR substance

Haiti is a republic located in the West Indies and is one of the poorest countries in the world.After the terrible earthquake it suffered, it has barely raised its head and 80 % of its population lives below the poverty line.They basically subsist on fishing and agriculture.Perhaps this situation of their population makes it more susceptible to practices such as voodoo and also to the use of herbs and natural remedies . Why do scientists travel to Haiti? Since the 1980s, groups of scientists travel to Haiti to study the flora of the country in search of plants that can be used as base for new pharmacological products .They are especially interested in hallucinogenic plants.They want, among other things, to discover the exact composition of the « zombie-creating powders ». They think that if the complete formula of this substance is discovered, they could obtain a new type of anesthesia that would make the patient pain insensitive and that he kept him paralyzed and...
