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.

What’s Wrong With The God Equation? By Howard Bloom
In the spring of 2021, the British magazine The New Scientist announced that Michio Kaku, a high-profile physicist from the City University of New York who has appeared on TV steadily over the last 40 years, would be giving a virtual lecture. Kaku was going to explain grand unified theories of everything. First, he was going to explain how Newton came up with laws of motion. Then he was going to show how over a hundred years and fifty years later, Maxwell worked out four equations that took Newton one step further and described what electromagnetism was. Finally, Kaku was going to explain how physicists today are trying to come up with an even more inclusive equation, an equation that describes the laws of the motion of matter, electromagnetism, and gravity. Says Kaku, physicists want an equation that you can put on a T-shirt. That to them will be “the grand unified theory of everything.” The GUT. In other words, physicists are looking for what Kaku’s new book title calls “The God Equation.”

True Speed Of Light Was Never Really Measured: let me prove it
I know what you are thinking. -click bait Source: medium No one has measured the speed of light. That feels insane now that we are talking about it. It's ridiculous. The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. We are so sure of it that since 1983, we've actually used the speed of light to define how long a meter is. It's just the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second. That definition ensures that the speed of light is exactly this number,

How Much Our Earth Is Ready To Prevent Future Asteroid Collisions?
Stephen Hawking once said, "A universe is a violent place. The stars devour the planets, the giant nebulae in the universe emit deadly rays, the black holes collide with each other, and the asteroids move around at hundreds of miles per second. "

Urban Mobility in Digital Era
By 2030, most of the world’s population is expected to be concentrated in the cities and if the trend remains, by 2050 nearly 80% of the global community will live in an urban environment. As we already observe the rapid influx of people into cities, many countries come to face several crucial sustainability challenges such as elevated traffic levels, increased congestion, and enhanced carbon emissions and pollution. Contemporary urbanization calls for mobility solutions that are coherent with land use and promote the growth and competitiveness of the cities.

The First Wave
This is still just the first wave of newly released ancient viruses. There will be more. Many more. There are two studies that I have excerpted from the National Institutes of Health, in the 1st one I’m quoting 9 excerpts regarding the melting polar caps due to global warming and effects on other ecosystems; while the second study covering rainforest destruction has 3 excerpts.

The dematerialization of matter goes too far
Richard Feynman once remarked, when asked which physical statement contains the most information in the least words: “I am convinced that this would be the atomic hypothesis (…), which says that all things are made of atoms. That material things consist of atoms and that these consist of further particles is today part of the canon of the naturalistic understanding of the world. Now, of course, a strange epistemological uncertainty relation is increasingly noticeable in this naturalism. The deeper the understanding of matter, the more the concept of matter evaporates.
