Things Worth Noting
On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains, carrying 45 people, including the Old Christians rugby team. The plane hit a peak, killing 12 instantly, leaving 33 survivors stranded in snow at 11,500 feet. With minimal food, they resorted to cannibalism after an avalanche killed eight more. After 72 […]
Mpox, caused by the monkeypox virus, is a zoonotic disease with symptoms like fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy. It spreads through close contact, and prevention includes isolation and smallpox vaccination. Treatment focuses on supportive care, using hydration, pain relief with topical benzocaine/lidocaine, or antihistamines like Benadryl. Natural remedies, such as herbal medicine, offer antiviral and anti-inflammatory […]
Before dinosaurs, Earth’s life evolved over billions of years, starting in the Precambrian with simple bacteria and stromatolites, followed by soft-bodied Ediacaran biota. The Cambrian Explosion brought diverse marine life like trilobites and Anomalocaris, with early vertebrates like Haikouichthys. The Ordovician saw brachiopods and ammonites thrive until a mass extinction hit. In the Silurian, plants […]
Binaural beats, discovered in 1839, are an auditory illusion created when two slightly different tones are played in each ear, producing a perceived “beat” frequency (e.g., 400 Hz and 410 Hz create a 10 Hz beat). Delivered through headphones, they influence brain waves via the superior olivary complex, promoting brainwave entrainment. This can align brain […]
Hair loss, or alopecia, affects many with thinning hair, balding, or shedding. Common types include androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness), telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding), and alopecia areata (autoimmune patches). Causes range from genetics and DHT to hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies (like iron or biotin), and tight hairstyles. To reverse hair loss, use FDA-approved minoxidil or […]
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to process data far beyond classical computers’ capabilities, leveraging qubits that exist in multiple states via superposition. Unlike binary bits (0 or 1), qubits can be both simultaneously, enabling massive parallelism. Entanglement links qubits, so one’s state instantly affects another, boosting computational power. Quantum circuits, built with gates like Hadamard […]
Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury contaminate many protein powders, posing health risks with long-term use. These toxins enter through soil, industrial pollution, or manufacturing, especially in plant-based and organic products, which can have up to three times more lead than whey or animal-based options. Chocolate-flavored powders often contain higher levels due to […]
Milan Fashion Week, held twice a year in Milan, Italy, showcases autumn/winter collections in February/March and spring/summer lines in September/October. Part of the “Big Four” with New York, London, and Paris, it’s a global fashion highlight organized by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. Iconic brands like Prada, Gucci, Versace, and Fendi, alongside emerging designers, […]
The Reptilian Elite theory claims world leaders are shape-shifting lizard people from Alpha Draconis or Orion, controlling humanity through secret societies like the Illuminati. Popularized by David Icke, it suggests these reptilian hybrids use cloaking technology, perception manipulation, and AI to maintain power, with roots in ancient myths like the Naga, Annunaki, and serpent gods. […]
Cooking meat at high temperatures through grilling, barbecuing, or frying can produce carcinogens like heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which may increase cancer risk. These form when amino acids, creatine, and fat in red or processed meats react under heat, especially in charred or well-done portions. Studies link these to colorectal, pancreatic, […]
