We Mapped a Fly’s BRAIN

A global team of 287 researchers have combined over 100 terabytes of data to create a full map of a fruit fly’s brain, which includes 139,255 individual neurons and 50 million connections.

You actually mapped Kamala Harris brain? Wow it is small and unable to tell the truth or stop cackling

Sure I’d take a look. Wouldn’t understand it, but I’d look.

  It’s just the first core branch, without mapping we can’t advance this tech

  Imagine one day technology advances far enough we can control a 3D printed fly with a VR set and play fly simulator interacting with real flies and shit, damn that would be dope.

Fascinating. If you believe in an afterlife, & your brain has rotted, what does science teach you about the ability to think?

  Science is constantly researching our brain abilities but researches have found and proved that our brain shows our whole life in something like a short film for us, just before we die and it shuts off. Biology is truly fascinating

I Traveled 8,000 Miles For The Camera That Killed Polaroid

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech. Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and…

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.

What if you CAN’T BURP?!

Some people can’t burp… at all. It’s called Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction, and RCD makes life seriously uncomfortable — both physically and socially. There’s an easy, increasingly popular medical fix that unlocks the power of the belch, and it’s actually changing lives. Popular Science: #medical #sciencefacts #science #scienceandtechnology

The Most Famous Mystery We’ll NEVER Solve

Nearly 200 years ago, a mysterious teen boy arrived in Nuremberg. The event ignited the Kaspar Hauser story: a tale of weird history, an unsolved mystery that endures today, and a battle between the ancient lore of a feral child and the power of modern forensics. When Kaspar Hauser arrived, he could barely speak at…

When Kaspar Hauser arrived, he could barely speak at all, but he eventually was able to say that he had been kept in a dungeon for his entire life until he was dropped off in the city. How did he get there? How could a boy who had never walked in his life make the journey? How could he write his own name?

The details of Kaspar’s origins were compelling… to a degree. He was surrounded by both a city of devoted supporters and a growing cadre of skeptics. And his arrival kicked off a saga including a series of assassination attempts, hidden genius, and a total inability to tell what’s actually true and what’s a lie.

It’s why Kaspar Hauser’s mystery continues today, and even with modern forensic breakthroughs and DNA testing improving by the decade, we know only a portion of the truth. And it seems as though the more capable we are at arriving at the real Kaspar Hauser story, the less we actually know.
