HOW OUR DEVICES MUTATING OUR BONES?
To date, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that cellphones are directly mutating the shape of our bones. However, some studies have suggested that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by cellphones may have a small but potentially negative impact on bone health.

HOW DEPRESSION AFFECTS THE BRAIN
The current treatment for depression is based on the monoamine deficiency hypothesis. This hypothesizes that one of three neurotransmitters in the brain is deficient or underactive. Neurotransmitters can be thought of as the chemical messengers within the brain. They help one cell in the brain communicate with another to pass a message along. But this hypothesis is limited because there are more than a hundred neurotransmitters in the brain and billions of connections between neurons. So we know that it's not just one abnormality that's causing depression, it could be dozens of different factors. For decades, we thought that the primary cause of depression was an abnormality in these neuro-transmitters specifically serotonin or norepinephrine. However, serotonin and norepinephrine couldn't account for all of the symptoms of depression in people who had major depression. Instead, glutamate and GABA, which are two of the most ubiquitous and abundant neurotransmitters in the brain, were potential causes for their symptoms. We now know that these two chemicals regulate how the brain is changing over time and how it adapts.

A gigantic black hole of immense mass has recently disappeared.
Finding an object that weighs billions of times the mass of our sun should be easy, right? Unfortunately, it's not that simple. For example, a supermassive black hole in the Galaxy cluster Abel 2261 is missing. These Mega monsters churn slowly at the center of their home galaxies, gathering tremendous clouds of gas and dust, making them swell up to unimaginable sizes. If a supermassive black hole like the one at the center of our Milky Way moved even a little bit closer to our solar system, it would spell doom. The distance between this huge object and Earth could be several dozens of light years, and we would be dragged into its orbit for eternity. Luckily, such black holes are staying away from us at the moment.
