Anonymous asked: I went to your 'categories' section, and read almost all of your articles. They are very into detail, and I love it! The best thing is that your articles are the only subjects I read because, as a matter of facts about me, I absolutely hate reading! I just have a simple question; I still don't understand how 'love' is a "chemical reaction"? I've heard...

keepcalmandbegroovy:
Ah, one of my favourite topics! In the interest of keeping this from turning into an essay, however, I’ll be leaving out some of the finer details…and do feel free to correct me if you have any objections.
There are quite a few opinions on the chemical reactions of love, dating back to the 1800s - the German polymath Johann von Goethe postulated that human relationships...

thisisnotpsychology:
Study after study has shown that genes can affect behavior and mental life. Identical twins separated at birth (who share their genes but not their environment) are similar in their intellectual talents, their personality traits (such as introversion, conscientiousness, and antagonism), their average level of lifelong happiness, and personal quirks...

One of the most staggering results in physics – that neutrinos may go faster than light – has not gone away with two further weeks of observations. The researchers behind the jaw-dropping finding are now confident enough in the result that they are submitting it to a peer-reviewed journal.
“The measurement seems robust,” says Luca Stanco of the National Institute of Nuclear...

From McSweeney’s:
She exposed me to excessive ultraviolet radiation, which gave me terrible cataracts.
She removed all traces of vitamin A from my diet.
She launched well-targeted projectiles at my eyes, causing severe trauma.

Just working out what a human is as a percentage of the universe..
Estimated atoms in average human: 7x10^27 Atoms in the universe (exc. dark matter/energy): 4x10^79 Atoms as part of universe: 4.6% (or 0.046 as a decimal) Therefore an average human as a percentage of all atoms in the universe: (7x10^27) / (4x10^79) = 1.75x10^-52 (1.75x10^-52) x 0.046 = 8.05x10^-54 Which is...

psychophilia:
Oh it is all right, it was only instinct. I used to flip people off a lot but I always got distracted by how long and elegant my middle finger was so I would stare at it and the moment would start to feel inappropriate…
I used to do it a lot but then I stopped. I mean, after all it’s just a finger, isn’t it? What the hell is that supposed to mean...

bloodredorion-science:
Keith Schwab and colleagues have created a device that has shown how researchers can lower the temperature of an object — just by watching it.
The device is actually a tiny (8.7 microns, or millionths of a meter, long; 200 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, wide) sliver of aluminum on silicon nitride, pinned down at both ends and allowed to vibrate in the...
