20 Amazing Facts about the Human Body That We Never Knew. Consciousness could be a side effect of 'entropy', say researchers. It's impressive enough that our human brains are made up of the same 'star stuff' that forms the Universe, but new research suggests that this might not be the only thing the two have in common.
Just like the Universe, our brains might be programmed to maximise disorder - similar to the principle of entropy - and our consciousness could simply be a side effect. The quest to understand human consciousness - our ability to be aware of ourselves and our surroundings - has been going on for centuries. Although consciousness is a crucial part of being human, researchers still don't truly understand where it comes from, and why we have it. But a new study, led by researchers from France and Canada, puts forward a new possibility: what if consciousness arises naturally as a result of our brains maximising their information content? We might finally know what's causing Namibia's super weird fairy circles. Scientists have invented the strongest and lightest material on Earth. Strong and Porous For years, researchers have known that carbon, when arranged in a certain way, can be very strong.
Case in point: graphene. Graphene, which was heretofore, the strongest material known to man, is made from an extremely thin sheet of carbon atoms arranged in two dimensions.

It’s a person who masters or becomes fluent in multiple languages (six or more). If we talk about experienced programmers, a hyperpolyglot would be a person who knows multiple programming languages.

Australia was once home to giant reptiles, marsupials and birds (and some not so giant), but the extinction of this megafauna has been the subject of a debate that has persisted since the 19th century.
Despite great advances in the available scientific techniques for investigating the problem, answering the key question of how they became extinct has remained illusive. Indeed, the same questions as those asked in the 19th century by scientists, such as the British comparative anatomist Sir Richard Owen and the Prussian scientist and explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, remain: were people responsible for their demise or was it climate change? Our new research, published in the latest Quaternary Science Reviews journal, shows that early humans to Australian lived alongside some of the megafauna for many thousands of years before the animals became extinct. Why OOP is required in a programmer's life - Coding Security.
This blog post is those still new to programming and have probably heard about “object-oriented programming”, “OOP”, “classes”, “inheritance/encapsulation/polymorphism”, and other computer science terms but still don’t get what exactly OOP is used for.
In this post I’ll explain why OOP is used and how it makes coding easier. This post uses Python 3 code, but the concepts apply to any programming language. There are two key non-OOP concepts to understand right off the bat: The absolute absurdity of detecting gravitational waves. Finland Will Become The First Country In The World To Get Rid Of All School Subjects.
In an era of technology and easily accessible information, our schools still expect from us to know everything from the books, without considering whether this is going to be what we will actually need in our professional development.
How many times have you wondered if you were going to need a subjects you were made to learn because the curriculum said so? What did Big Data find when it analyzed 150 years of British history? What could be learnt about the world if you could read the news from over 100 local newspapers for a period of 150 years?
This is what a team of Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers from the University of Bristol have done, together with a social scientist and a historian, who had access to 150 years of British regional newspapers. The patterns that emerged from the automated analysis of 35 million articles ranged from the detection of major events, to the subtle variations in gender bias across the decades. H2 — This Futuristic Smartphone Can See "Inside" All Objects. Short Bytes: A Chinese company named Changhong has created a phone, H2, that’s able to see inside the objects and detect their chemical composition. Simply point the phone to the object and it’ll show information like sugar content of a fruit, fat in your body, or cocoa solid concentration in chocolate. The phone uses a mini version of a handheld molecular scanning gadget named SCiO. Modus Season 1 - Via Vision Entertainment.
Disconnecting from the Matrix and Reconnecting with Consciousness · The Mind Unleashed. Imago Mundi is the name of the Babylonian map which is the oldest in the world. Maps have shaped not only our mere geographical interpretation and understanding of the planet earth, the institutions accelerated the progress and played a significant role in the anthropology throughout the history. The earliest known existence of world maps goes back to the classical antiquity and oldest artefact resembling a map comes from the 5th and 6th century BC, and were predominately based on a flat earth paradigm. However, maps were based on the spherical earth understanding of the planet appeared in the Hellenistic era. This Zen Comic Is Full of Timeless Life Lessons · The Mind Unleashed. On Wisdom. It’s one of the grandest and oddest words out there, so lofty, it doesn’t sound like something one could ever consciously strive to be – unlike say, being cultured, or kind.
Tech Xplore - Liquid metal 3-D printing could revolutionize how things are made. A father and son team in the START-UP NY program have invented a liquid metal printing machine that could represent a significant transformation in manufacturing. A breakthrough idea five years ago by former University at Buffalo student Zack Vader, then 19, has created a machine that prints three-dimensional objects using liquid metal.
