Aurora's Light
I wonder if Mom can see the sun where she is now..." Aurora wondered as she gazed up into the thick, dark clouds that blanketed the evening sky. She remembered that there used to be orange and purple-blue undertones when the sun set just years ago. But now, the sky stayed only a stale shade of gray morning until night, dusk until dawn, and day to day; the world had been unfortunately thrown into an eternal night where the Moon no longer shown bright but only waxed in and out briefly from behind thick rows of aluminum-laced clouds. It almost looked like the moon had been arrested and placed behind bars of Man's making, the man in the moon had been reduced to an inmate of the new sky.

Crucible
"It looks like... what is it called, on the med bags?" Fennik asked. Jorten narrowed his eyes at the man. It was a foolish question, but Fennik was a fool. It was both a foolish and typical question—a typical question for a fool to ask. Jorten's frustration ebbed into a sort of snide amusement, as he imagined how much of a fool Fennik was. He was much keener by comparison. It was a comforting thought, but also a fleeting one. Sharing a foxhole with a fool is the opposite of comforting. It was downright tragic, but also typical.

Mathematical Modeling of the Written Universe
The Friedmann equation and the expanding universe Alexander Friedmann of Russia is credited with developing a dynamic equation for the expanding universe in the 1920s. At the same time Einstein, Willem de Sitter of the Netherlands, and Georges Lemaitre of Belgium were also working on equations to model the universe. Friedmann developed his version as a relativistic equation in the framework of general relativity, but the description used here, and (in our theoretical model presented below) applied to the written universe will be limited to a simplified, non-relativistic version based on Newton’s laws. Convenient forms of Friedmann’s equation with which to examine the expansion time and temperature for a big bang model of the actual universe are

Do algorithms amplify or erode our humanity?
In 2015, a group of scientists published an unusual study regarding the accuracy of cancer diagnoses. In order to assess the breast cancer risk, 16 testers were provided with touch-screen monitors and asked to sort through breast tissue images. The pathology samples were obtained from women whose breast tissue had been harvested by biopsy, sliced thinly and stained with chemicals to highlight the blood vessels and milk ducts in red, purple, and blue. In order to determine whether the cancer was lurking among the cells, all the tester had to do was examine the pattern in the image. They were put to work immediately after a brief training period, resulting in impressive results. Based on their independent assessments, 85 percent of samples were correctly classified. However, they then noticed something interesting. The accuracy rate increased to 99 per cent when they gathered the answers from all the testers and combined their votes. In this study, the testers’ skills were not what was truly remarkable, it was their identity. These plucky lifesavers were neither oncologists, pathologists nor nurses. They were not even medical students. They were pigeons.

Will Einstein be pulled off the altar? Physicists are trying to challenge the throne of relativity
Speaking of scientists, I believe that many people first think of Einstein and Newton, and some people think of photos of Solvay's fifth meeting, a group photo of the most powerful brains in the 20th century.

A scientific revelation you need to know about biologics.
Only one-fourth of the world population realize and recognize biotechnology and biologics. This field has been a kind of enigma since people are ignorant of the tokens of the field accurately. This blog will enlighten some aspects and working of these fields.

Mind Uploading
The Brain. Some chemicals, a spongey-like tissue and some electricity. It is the most powerful organ on our body, being able to control every single thing that exists inside you and capable of thinking, but also so fragile and so… organic. That is why brain uploading is becoming the popular thought of the moment. With Elon Musk’s Neuralink just behind the door, it doesn’t seem like a pretty bad idea.
