Welcome back fellas, hope we are all doing great ?

Looks like some of us enjoyed my last post, how about this 2³ or 3² which is lesser ?
Very easy and the answer happens to represent the number of days left for a very special event of which i talked about in our last report. 😁

Ook, let's get to business.

Accidental discovery unveils revolutionary power generation option

Just the other day, i saw a video of a man claiming trees can generate electricity and how it powered a bulb which happened to have a battery in it. To be frank, he was "exaggerating" the phenomenon, with his kind of experimental setup the tree merely acted as a conductor to complete the circuit. However, it's actually possible to get electricity from trees only that it would require a different kind of experimental setup and the electricity would be too weak to have a noticeable effect. So, the man wasn't totally wrong and those of us criticizing the man, how about this recent accidental discovery where electricity can be gotten almost directly from air (humid). Doesn't this even sound more stupid ? 😂.........but keep reading to find out why it's not as stupid as it may seem. I guess electricity is everywhere, it just requires the right physical setup to harness it.

Why the day is 24 hours long: Astrophysicists reveal why Earth's day was a constant 19.5 hours for over a billion years

It takes our planet 24 hrs to complete a single rotation on it's axis and this time also corresponds with the length of our day. Even with this 24hrs, some of us still complain that it isn't enough, we wished it could have been more than 24. Perhaps, you may be right, looks like we may have been robbed.
On another hand, you could still get your wish but not in your lifetime. 😂

However, keep reading to find out why and more, including what robbed us of our extra time.

500 Million-Year Journey: The Bacterial Origins of Our Vision

On one hand most of us seem to cherish our eyes so much, after all, we are mostly dependent on it in sensing our environment. On another hand, we seem to dislike bacterias mostly because they make us sick.
How about i told you that our eyes wouldn't have been this amazing in terms of function if not for bacterias. 😳

The origin of our very powerful eyes stretches back to a very long time ago (millions of years ago) when.......keep reading. Bacteria lives matter. 😂

Human Hand Scents: A Novel Tool for Sex Prediction

Dogs are known to be good at detecting scents, including human scents and it becomes handy when tracking. Dogs aside, we too can now be able identify an individua, especially the sex (male or female) using scents and thanks to this new discovery. DNA analysis is overrated.

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.
