Modern Farming is Harming
Current agriculture, which consists of monocultures and extensive use of fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides, has caused a significant loss of biodiversity, has decreased soil quality, and has polluted the environment. Due to rising awareness of these issues, researchers are now exploring alternatives, such as vertical indoor farms, hydroponics, and cultured meat. However, there is a clear divide in approaches toward future agriculture. Technologists rely on a predominately tech-centric system, while organic farmers rely on natural methods such as polycultures, mixed farming with livestock and crops, and composting. Even though the two camps do not have much in common, the pareto-optimal solution for humanity and the environment may lie in the middle - tech-enhanced permaculture. By combining technology, permaculture, sustainable policies, and consumer behavior, we could heal our planet, reduce our blood pressure and feed 10 billion people.

A 10 second kiss effects
As many as 80 million bacteria are transferred during a 10-second kiss, according to research published in the open-access journal Microbiome. The study also found that partners who kiss each other at least nine times a day share similar communities of oral bacteria.

Why drop Meteorites
To date, about 1,100 meteorites have been observed to occur and about 40,000 have been found but not read. It is estimated that perhaps 500 meteorites reach the Earth's surface each year, but fewer than ten are recovered. This is because most fall into the ocean, land in remote areas of the Earth and in places that are not easily accessible or visible. From a model animation, it appears that many small asteroids/large meteors pass close to Earth every day. Most of these remain undetected, but recently, three 5-10 m asteroids have been discovered and passed well within the Moon's orbit. Also, recently, an asteroid with a diameter of about 500 meters passed about 2 million kilometers (five times the distance of the Moon) from Earth. It is estimated that one or two 5-10 meter objects pass through the Moon's orbit every day, and there are perhaps 30 million near-Earth objects! Most of these are too small to cause any harm. Five to ten meters is probably the smallest object that can pass through Earth's atmosphere.
