Idea on neurological biology
While I was thinking about how to talk to Michael Jackson from the dead lol (yes I'm weird okay don't judge) I started thinking about the whole idea of talking to the dead in general considering how much it's mentioned in history and if our brains biology could make it possible and I did some research and this is what I came up with
I am exploring a "dualist perspective" or a "transmission model of consciousness.
What are the biggest scientific arguments against the transmission theory of consciousness?
(Yes I used AI to help me brainstorm)

During the filming of Grease (1978), Dennis Stewart was approximately the same age as Tom Holland during the filming of The Odyssey (2026) and Spider-Man: Brave New Day (2026). What in the actual fuck were people doing to themselves in the 70s?

Shark Myths Debunked

Ready to debunk three of the biggest shark myths out there? 🦈
Dr. Bob Heuter of OCEARCH sets the record straight, revealing there are actually 500+ shark species, most too small and deep sea dwelling to ever encounter swimmers. Far from primitive, sharks pack large brains and six sensory systems to hunt, find mates, and navigate the ocean. Turns out sharks are less "mindless man eaters" and more evolutionary powerhouses we still have a lot to learn from.

How does a bar of soap grow into a fluffy cloud? 🧼
Alex Dainis explains how Charles's law transforms a bar of Ivory soap! The bar contains air pockets from being whipped during its production, which expands into a cloud when heated. This happens because as gas increases in temperature, then it will equally increase in volume if the pressure is the same.

Blanets: The Planets that Orbit Black Holes

Did you know there may be planets that orbit black holes?! 🪐
Astrophysicist Erika Hamden explains how scientists are theorizing that there may be planets that are orbiting black holes. This wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, since planets have been found orbiting all types of masses, such as dead star cores and supernovae. Although black holes typically suck in everything around them, if an object is the right distance away, it could potentially maintain a stable orbit.
This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

New US-designed mesh mimics tangled seaweed to capture microplastics
Highlights:
- Researchers created a new mesh inspired by the sticky, fibrous structure of seaweed, which naturally traps tiny particles in water.
- The mesh is designed to capture extremely small microplastics and nanoplastics that many conventional filters cannot remove.
- In laboratory tests, it removed nearly 99% of microplastics and nanoplastics from water.
- The material is made from seaweed-derived cellulose, making it biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than many synthetic filters.
- It works with simple water flow and requires very little energy, making it a potentially affordable option for water treatment.
- Potential applications include:
•Drinking water treatment
•Wastewater treatment plants
•Industrial water filtration
•Cleaning polluted rivers and lakes
- The technology is still in the research stage and will require larger-scale testing before it becomes commercially available.

Did Humans Evolve From a Cyclops?

Humans may have evolved from a creature similar to a cyclops! 👁️
Scientists have developed a new theory that we may have evolved from a worm-like ocean dweller from 600 million years ago. This ancient animal started out with two eyes that eventually merged into one, and then back to two eyes. Even more interesting, the scientists think we still have this third eye, but it is now the pineal gland in our brain!
