Things Worth Noting
Natto is a Japanese superfood made from fermented soybeans using Bacillus subtilis bacteria. This low-calorie food packs protein (19g per 100g), fiber, probiotics, and key nutrients like vitamin K2 (menaquinone), iron, magnesium, and zinc. Fermentation boosts bioavailability, reduces antinutrients, and creates nattokinase—a powerful enzyme that supports heart health by dissolving blood clots and lowering blood […]
In 2025, free online tools boost productivity and and creativity without cost. AI leaders like ChatGPT (GPT-4o), DALL·E, Google Gemini, Grok AI, Claude, and Perplexity handle writing, image/video generation, voice cloning, and fact-checking with multilingual support. Notion AI, GitHub Copilot, and Grammarly automate tasks and enhance content. Google Workspace, Trello, Asana, and Toggl streamline collaboration, […]
Universe vacuum decay is a quantum physics theory where our universe’s “false vacuum”—a metastable energy state—could suddenly shift to a true vacuum via quantum tunneling. This starts with a tiny bubble of true vacuum forming randomly, expanding at light speed, and rewriting physics: atoms disintegrate, fundamental forces collapse, and all matter vanishes instantly with no […]
Dr. Gunther Kletetschka proposes time has three dimensions, not one, making space an emergent property in a six-dimensional model. Published April 2025, his theory treats time as the primary fabric of reality—first dimension for linear progression, second for parallel outcomes, third for transitions between them—while space arises from temporal interactions. The framework predicts particle masses […]
James Watson (1928–2025), American molecular biologist, co-discovered DNA’s double helix structure with Francis Crick in 1953 using X-ray data from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. They won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Watson led Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, directed the Human Genome Project (1988–1992), and wrote bestsellers like The Double Helix. His later career […]
3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) is the third confirmed interstellar comet, discovered July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey in Chile. Traveling on a hyperbolic trajectory with eccentricity >1, it reached perihelion at 1.4 AU on October 30, 2025, and will exit the Solar System. The 10–20 km nucleus shows strong CO₂ and CO outgassing, low water, […]
Voodoo is not illegal in Louisiana—it’s protected by the First Amendment and state constitution as a legitimate religion. Myths about bans stem from old colonial laws like the 1724 Code Noir and 1817 New Orleans rules limiting gatherings in Congo Square to prevent slave rebellions. Suppression continued under Black Codes and Jim Crow, targeting rituals, […]
Signal is high-impact info and actions that drive business growth—like actionable insights from market research or key metrics showing real progress. Noise includes distractions, data overload, and low-value tasks that kill focus and productivity. In entrepreneurship, mastering the signal-to-noise ratio sharpens decision-making, strengthens customer relationships, and fuels business transformation. Cut noise with monk-like discipline: practice […]
Landfills are engineered sites for solid waste disposal, using advanced environmental engineering to protect public health and the environment. A multi-layered liner system with geomembrane and geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) blocks leachate—the toxic liquid from decomposing waste—from reaching groundwater. Daily operations include waste compaction to save space, applying daily cover to control odor and vectors, […]
Operation MKOFTEN was a secret CIA and DoD program (1968–1973) that tested drugs like LSD and experimental compounds on humans and animals to develop mind control and interrogation tools. Run at Edgewood Arsenal and Holmesburg Prison, it focused on behavioral and toxicological effects, creating databases of drug impacts for espionage use. Led by Sidney Gottlieb, […]
