Let the chicken be. Live. [An argument against analysis of anything]
Birds evolved from dinosaurs 150 million years ago, a slow but thorough transformation. Their bodies gained aerodynamic feathers, their digits fused into wings, and they acquired a beak used to gather food. We can see some details of this evolutionary marvel in the fossil record. Yet even the most exquisitely preserved fossil can’t tell us…

Insects flying… Torque… Rotation… Momentum… And why doing is never understanding!
Flightless animals have evolved diverse mechanisms to control their movements in air, whether falling with gravity or propelling against it. Many insects jump as a primary mode of locomotion and must therefore precisely control the large torques generated during takeoff. For example, to minimize spin (angular momentum of the body) at takeoff, plant-sucking bugs apply…

Evolution, Eugenics, Hypocrisy.
Theory of evolution. Then: Three eugenics conferences. (1, 2) (1912, 1921, 1932) After that: Hitler. Why are we so surprised? Why are we so hypocrites?

Superposition, photosynthesis, One...
Photosynthesis seems to be taking advantage of the quantum phenomenon of superposition, which we thought can only be maninted for a long time in the controlled conditions of a lab. (1, 2, 3) Quantum coherence seems to be able to survive out in the... wild! Everything is possible... Nothing changes... The whole world is One... > Help…

Minimum requirements for life...
Until now scientists have a hard time defining the minimum set of genes required for life to be created... Various attempts have resulted in various sets of genes which do overlap, but are not identical.. [1] Logical. How can you define the undefined? How can you see the unseen? How can you see the stars if…
