So far this year, Quanta has chronicled three major advances in Ramsey theory, the study of how to avoid creating mathematical patterns. The first result put a new cap on how big a set of integers can be without containing three evenly spaced numbers
There are over 200 bioactive compounds in the smoke condensate, one of which involves acetic acid; hence, the name, wood vinegar. Some of these compounds are similar to those found in fulvic acid, but there are other exciting actives that are uniqu
We all spend too much of our lives thinking about what may have been. Yet you chose your path. you were given that much and it is the definition of free will however narrow the choice happens to be. Such contemplations though are usually good en
A bright red waterfall isn't something you'd expect to see on the icy landscape of Antarctica, but that's exactly what's pouring out from the foot of Taylor Glacier. A team of scientists now claims to have solved the long-standing mystery b
As trees and flowers blossom in spring, bees emerge from their winter nests and burrows. For many species it's time to mate, and some will start new solitary nests or colonies. Bees and other pollinators are essential to human society. They prov
You're oscillating. Well, technically, not just you. We are all being stretched and squeezed by an event we can't see?"at least not with the naked eye. Imagine that throughout the day we have imperceivable fluctuations in our height, starting t
The deeper you dig down the rabbit hole of the planetary intervention we find ourselves within, the more astounding and grandiose it becomes. Take a look at some of the ancient megaliths like the pyramids for example, and explore actually how they we
Heat death held a morbid fascination for Victorian-era physicists. It was an early example of how everyday physics connects to the grandest themes in cosmology. Drop ice cubes into a glass of water, and you create a situation that is out of equilibri
There's a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia that Piotr Naskrecki, an entomologist from Harvard University, often thinks about on slow walks around Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. Pareidolia describes an experience when people see a
Every animal and plant on Earth has an awesome beauty: the majesty of an oak, the delicate fabric of a butterfly, the grace of a gazelle, the imperious presence of a whale and, of course, us humans, with our mixture of wonders and fatal flaws. Where
However, there are even more fundamental issues going on in the environment. According to a new study published in Oecologia, decomposers - organisms such as microbes, fungi and some types of insects that drive the process of decay - have also suffer
On April 12, 2023, geologists, microbiologists and other scientists sailed to the Atlantis Massif, a 14,000-foot underwater mountain sitting on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The plan: To dig into an already existing 4,640-foot hole drilled nearly
True friendship is characterized most by loyalty, for loyalty is the virtue that sustains friendships through any hardship. Loyalty gives us the courage to remain with friends, even when there is no advantage to be gained. In his short story, "T
I will describe how this causes delayed population collapse and what can be done to possibly fix this global problem. The low birthrate problem can be fixed or mitigated by giving free medical procedures to harvest younger and healthier eggs and fr
Is it possible that the asteroid belt represents the breakup of such a crust in the orbit of Jupiter and that the core then dropped down to form the planet of Venus which clearly has a cooling crust which is unique to our solar system? We are certai
Now that we understand just what is going on, and that it has nothing whatsoever to do with hydrogen bombs and that the actual surface of trhe Sun is comparatively cold to the millions of degrees seen in the corona, we can make a conjecture. It
The easiest conjecture for the sun is to project that what we see and experience is primarily NNP decay into hydrogen which then flows away from the Sun as a plasma flux along with radiation caused by electron decay onto the hydrogen. I will mention
So what may be possible if we are able to produce wormholes at will. First though, a convenient wormhole produced at source will be hanging out there somewhere and the potential for a bad ending is obvious. The other problem though is the actual
Now, researchers say they might have found one in an unexpected source: a dye routinely used for medical imaging. In a study of human cells and mice published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, researchers show that the dye, called indocya
have done a fair bit of thinking regarding TIME travel. The good news is that because we are in a deep gravity well, TIME can be controled while actual movement not so easily. I suspect a wormhole in space will allow us to jump vast disatances but no
In the pantheon of famous physicists, the late Freeman Dyson holds a special place. Often described as a maverick, radical and pioneering scientist, Dyson made significant contributions to the foundations of modern physics. He spent vast swathes of h
The currents were predicted in 1908 by Norwegian explorer and physicist Kristian Birkeland, who undertook expeditions north of the Arctic Circle to study the aurora. He rediscovered, using simple magnetic field measurement instruments, that when the
Already, several microorganisms that "eat" plastic have been discovered. These bacteria and fungi produce enzymes that break down the plastic, but when these enzymes are expanded to an industrial scale, they usually only work at temperatures above
They're actually very cold, but one of the main heat sources for icy moons and almost every object in the outer solar system is an isotope called aluminium-26. It's an element that creates a lot of heat by decaying. It's like uranium, for examp
You might have heard of them before, the Platonic Solids. Mysterious shapes which every Sacred Geometer talks about. We even shortly mentioned them in our first Sacred Geometry blog. But what are they really? What kind of secrets do they hold? In
Primary Water (PW) is Earth-generated water. When conditions are right oxygen combines with hydrogen to make new water. This water is being pushed up under great pressure from deep within the Earth. It finds its way towards the surface of the Earth
Methane is a greenhouse gas with dual personalities. It heats Earth's atmosphere 28 times as potently as carbon dioxide, gram for gram. But its absorption of the sun's radiation high in the atmosphere also alters cloud patterns - casting a bit
Through interviews with scientists, health experts, and electromagnetic radiation researchers, "Resonance - Beings of Frequency" offers an insightful exploration of the potential risks associated with our modern, technology-driven way of life,
A few days later, when the narrator goes to collect his books, he finds that Funes has memorized, in just a matter of days, long and complicated passages in Latin, despite no prior knowledge of the language. Funes tells the narrator that, ever since
NNP neutral neutron pair NEeP neutral electron pair Here is what seems impossible, but our gravity wells actually pack up our NNPs. Yet it is plausible that they are actively formed from the general photon flux all through space and that surel
