Why a cat always land on its feet!?
Why do cats always land on their feet? This is a question that drove 19th century scientists crazy. Until one of them used an unexpected tool to solve the mystery: a camera. Étienne-Jules Marey was an obsessive scientist and inventor who analyzed the motion of things. And he began experimenting with photography at a time when the medium was mostly used to document static objects.

Anthropogenesis
The winter air was dry and hot, warm winds blew from the west, bringing with them smoke and ash. Seraphine sat in her tractor's cockpit looking down on a thousand acres of dying wheat. The tractor's twin turbine propellers blasted the decaying grain in circular drifts beneath the hovering rig, in the distance her family's massive automated combines sat idle, artificial intelligences each waiting eagerly to do their one purpose. Another harvest come and gone with nothing to show for it but empty pockets and shame.

future airplanes will be silent?
Future airplanes are poised to revolutionize air travel by being completely silent. Imagine standing on an airport control tower rooftop, witnessing a massive plane glide in for a landing. Instead of the usual roaring engines, all you hear is the whispering wind. This is the potential reality for electric airplanes, a groundbreaking innovation that promises quieter skies and reduced environmental impact.

Lost Memories.
In the year 2070, memories could be stored, accessed, and even erased with the help of advanced AI technology. OpenAI had pioneered the creation of "Reminisce," an AI designed to assist individuals in recovering lost memories. For many, this technology offered a glimmer of hope—a chance to reconnect with their past and find closure to long-forgotten chapters of their lives.

This Tiny Device could Reforest the entire Planet
It could change the face of the earth if you put this little self-propelled wooden robot on the ground; when you connect a seed to it, it will begin to bury itself. It could also be used to regenerate trees all over the world. What exactly is it? Its development was initially inspired by hygromorphs—structures that change shape in response to humidity, like pine cones whose scales automatically close when they get wet—and may play a significant role in energy harvesting, Soft robotics, and sustainable buildings.

What lies outside the universe?
Theories About What Lies Outside The Observable Universe! Approximately 13.75 billion years ago, our current universe came into existence. Shortly after this, light from the early universe began to travel and spread throughout the cosmos. At the same time, the universe itself started to expand. However, the rate of expansion slowed down after the initial eruption, but it has been steadily increasing since then due to the influence of dark energy. In essence, the cosmos has been growing at an ever-increasing rate since its creation. For centuries, physicists and mathematicians have been studying the nature of the universe, attempting to unravel its mysteries. However, some scientists take it a step further by contemplating what lies beyond the boundaries of our universe. Is it possible that there is something else beyond our own universe? Are there other universes or worlds whose existence we can only speculate about? This could very well be the case. Here, we present five theories about what this "something" beyond our universe could be and provide clues that support these various theories.
