Howdy folks, hope y'all doing great ?
I wish I could just skip this introduction part and just get on with the main gist.
Wait a minute, why does it feel like there's nothing holding me back. Oooh ma gad folks, i just got ma wish granted but by whom ?
Maself. 😁

Let's proceed...... hold on a minute, did I just give an introduction ?
It doesn't really matter, what really matters is that we have begun, enjoy.

Brain Speed vs Intelligence: New Study Disputes Long-Held Beliefs

In our everyday experience, when it takes us a relatively long time to solve a problem and it takes another person a shorter time for the same problem, we tend to think of the other person (who was faster) as being more intelligent.
But could that really be true ?

One of the reasons why i kinda disliked conventional schooling was that it seemed to rely on speed, especially during quizzes, tests and exams which in most cases forces you to pour out only what you've been taught. Though it isn't totally bad, the problem was that there is little room to make and communicate your own discoveries (that could be potentially better) which usually takes more time. I believe Einstein may have felt somewhat this way at some point in his life, actually he did.
Back to the question. Well, this report seems to be suggesting otherwise. If you happen to be one of those who feel intimidated by people who appear to solve problems more quickly than you do, then you no longer have to feel that way, chances are that you maybe more smarter than them - speed is overrated. 😉

Psychological study suggests arithmetic is biologically-based and a natural consequence of our perception

The first time we (humans) may have encountered mathematics would be when we first started to count objects and use basic arithmetic (especially addition and subtraction), and ever since, we've made a lot of discoveries that have pushed us to where we are today. But there's a question still yet to be resolved and it's, was mathematics invented or discovered ?

In this report, researchers may have found out the answer and it may or may not be what we individually think it is. Wait a minute, did i just spill the beans ?
Ooh, i didn't. 🤭

We Just Got The First Evidence of Two Planets Sharing The Same Orbit

Planetary systems such as our solar system usually have "planets" orbiting around a central star but each planet (a single planet) usually occupies a single orbit, in most cases to prevent collision with each other. This is what is mostly believed but a recent discovery seems to be challenging this belief. What's this discovery,......keep reading to find out. I wonder, if our planet happened to have another planet in the same orbit with it, would that second planet be able to support life too ? - asking for a friend :-)

A Cracked Piece of Metal Healed Itself in an Experiment That Stunned Scientists

From our everyday experiences, it would seem that it's only living things like us that have the ability to heal after a tear/cut, let's pause to think for a minute. 🤔

Could that really be true ?
Looks like the universe works in mysterious ways, it appears metals (a non-living thing) could heal itself too. 😳
Are you surprised like me ?
Well, we aren't alone, scientists too are but......keep reading to find out more. Can you imagine the possibilities this discovery holds, if scientists can fully understand and harness such ability.

Century-Old Paradigm Overturned – Brain Shape Matters More Than Neural Connectivity

So, in this report, we are going to learn something very very fascinating and it's that...keep reading. Didn't realize brains can take on different shapes, i wonder what the shape of my brain is/was while making this post, was it box-like, pyramid-like or... just kidding. 😂

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.
