Did you forget ?
About ? - you may be asking.

That tomorrow is the D-day, that somebody which may or may not be me was born tomorrow, some years ago. 😂

Congratulations and thank you if you were able to figure it out from my previous reports, and did not forget. But that's by the way.

How are we all doing ?

Well if you aren't feeling okay, there's a saying that I want you to remember in case of next time and it goes like this, "happy are those that come here to gain information". 😁

Feel free to enjoy yourselves.

Our brains may process silence and sounds the same way

What is silence ?
The absence of sound right ?

Not so fast, if silence is the absence of sound, then how are we able to perceive silence, especially with the same ears that we use to perceive sound ?
This seems contradictory and stupid, and a question that exists more in the realm of philosophy but we would need to be very careful there because an experiment just recently brought the question to the attention of scientists......keep reading to find out more. Dude, can you hear the silence ? 😂

Reinventing cosmology: uOttawa research puts age of universe at 26.7 — not 13.7 — billion years

Thanks to modern science, we now have evidence that our universe had a beginning and according to estimates our universe is about 13.8 billion years old. But could that really be the age our universe ?, especially with what the recently launched James Webb science telescope has been discovering about galaxies from the dawn of time. To counter this dilemma, scientists seem to be suggesting using a new theory that our universe maybe far more older than what we currently know........keep reading to find out more.

The wizardly owl brain uses “Bayesian inference” to find prey

We think we are the only ones that can use math to solve problems and therefore think we invented it, which gives some of us the leverage to try to run away from it. Well, sorry to break your heart, looks like an animal has been discovered that makes use of a certain advanced math technique to find food in the dark. 😳
Whether it does it intentionally or not is yet to be certain but it sure looks like math may be older than us and here to stay. This animal is actually a bird, an owl to be precise - those flying creatures that can turn their necks 360 degrees.
So, i would save the remaining gist to keep you still curious but feel free to visit here to find out more and quench your curiosity. If birds can, then you too can. 😉

Aggression Is A Result of Self-Control, Not Lack Thereof

When we see someone who is always aggressive the popular belief is that such person lacks self-control but a recent research seems to be suggesting otherwise. It happens that self-control in most cases is responsible for aggression.

Still confused ?
Okay, continue reading to get unconfused. Moral lesson, don't always control yourself unless you want the monster out. 😂

Powered by Dark Matter: Webb Space Telescope Catches Glimpse of Possible First-Ever “Dark Stars”

Our sun and stars are able to give off light thanks to nuclear fusion but that may not always be the case. The James Webb telescope seems to have spotted potential "dark matter stars", which means not all the stars in our universe may be powered by nuclear fusion that normally involves only matter particles.

But hold on a minute, dark matter particles are currently undetectable (not much is known about them), especially with the fact that they don't give off electromagnetic radiations, how then can it form a star that gives off light ?
In fact, the light from the alleged dark matter stars seems brighter than that of stars of normal matter, another mystery. 🤔

Well, to make it less mystifying just continue reading. Looks like this new dark matter process if confirmed, could be a novel and promising source of clean power. I think I should get ready to patent an invention. 😎

It is here we conclude today's report, have a thought day and till i come your way again next week.

Thank you all once again for stopping by to read my jargons and also thank you @stemng, @lemouth and the @Steemstem team for your valuable supports.
