Weekly Science And Technology Reports - July 30 2023

Hello guys, hope we're all doing great ?

Just the other day, saw a report of the UN alerting/updating us on the state of affairs of our climate. As I recall, we are no longer in the global warming regime, we've now gotten to the regime of "global boiling". 😂

How hilarious but that's not what i see in the part of the world where I exist, it seems to be quite the opposite here. I think we are gradually experiencing "global freezing". 😹
Could there possibly be a reversal of climate ?

🤔

I guess only time would tell.

Alright guys, let's not get carried away from the main gist.

Scientists Are Frighteningly Close to Achieving Synthetic Biological Intelligence

We seem to have entered the era of AI and some of us are enjoying it due to their incredible abilities, even though they are just copycats. 😹
Even with what they can do, they are still lagging behind or rather there are things we still can do better than them and now, scientists may have discovered another way of making them act better - like us. It's actually a terrifying cheat.......... 😱 keep reading to find out more. Brain + chip = cyborg chip, be getting ready to add computer/phone food to your list of household expenses. 😂

Glass-coated DNA material boasts 4x strength of steel

Weird but fascinating, I initially thought the word DNA (used in this report) was an abbreviation for something else but it's actually the "deoxyribonucleic acid", that complex molecule responsible for our genetic characteristics. It happens that when combined with glass could yield a material 4× stronger than steel but that's not all, it has other very interesting properties 😍......keep reading. Can't wait to design my own Iron man armour. 😎

How long does it take to get to the moon?

Have you ever asked yourself how long a spaceflight lasts after launch from our planet ?

That's a very interesting question worth considering, i for example would like to know. Questions like these helps you get well prepared for the journey. The answer though is kinda complicated, owing to different factors - the time varies.
In this report, a researcher gives in details how space flight time works, especially to the moon. But trust me, i never want to embark on such journey, unless there's a faster means for a crewed spaceflight or maybe never. I love home 🤭

Perceiving Quantities: Fruit Flies’ Astonishing Numerical Abilities

Ooh yeah, math again. One of the most fascinating aspects of our (human) observation is being able to quantify objects and thanks to this, we now have a special field for it, that's right, mathematics.

Quantification basically helps us to make decisions (optimally), especially through comparison. It happens that this ability to quantify objects isn't limited to us, animals too can and this report is specifically about "fruit flies", not much different from a house fly though but..........keep reading to find out more. They seem to have their own kind of math, interesting.

Your Hands Probably Weigh Twice as Much as You Think They Do

If I asked what your hand weighed, would you be able to answer it ?

Looks like a question that requires using a scale but that's taking it too far. A more primitive way of putting the question is, how heavy or light is your hand ? - based on how you're currently feeling it.
Even if you're able to give an answer, you're more likely to get it wrong. 😳
That's quite mysterious but why in the bloody hell should we bother about the weight of our hand ?
Well, look and think no further because this report got you covered.

Cosmic Mystery: A Massive Galaxy Defying Dark Matter Theories

Just when you think you've had things figured out, the universe just out of nowhere makes you rethink what you think you've figured out. It is believed that very massive galaxies possesses dark matter - that yet undetectable kind of matter that prevents those massive galaxies from getting torn apart, but a recent discovery seems to be challenging that theory. A very massive galaxy has been spotted that seems not to possess dark matter but the mystery doesn't end there......continue reading. Seems like modern cosmology is in big trouble.

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.
