Because they were built following the model of the western world which wasn’t conceived for their climate. Not a surprise.

Now that polymer is a 3D display. You do not need virtual reality headsets or complicated instrumentation. All you need is the right piece of plastic and our technology.”
I’m not sure if their proposition is better than a 3D display, honestly. You can’t zoom in or anything to see more detail since its inside a cube.
While sixbar parents spawning on a new moon are taking a high-stakes gamble on their progeny’s survival, the study suggests it could be something of a calculated risk.
"Most of these babies won’t survive, but the few that do are more likely to become male and that’s akin to winning the lottery as males can produce many more offspring in the sixbar mating system.
I wonder if the fish are consciously aware of the fact and choose to try and spawn at those time or if it’s just natural. We probably are also influenced by many things when mating and completely unaware of it.
What I find nuts it that we don’t know what gravity exactly is, yet somehow we know that there is an invisible field around us that ripples and we can use it to detect astronomical bodies.
“Our idea basically works like listening to a radio channel. We propose using the signal from pairs of small black holes similar to how radio waves carry the signal. The supermassive black holes are the music that is encoded in the frequency modulation (FM) of the detected signal,” said Jakob Stegmann, lead author of the study who started this work at the university of Zurich as a visiting student and since then moved to the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics as a postdoctoral research fellow.
Am I correct to think that this is, once again, a Fourier Transformation?
To illustrate their importance, these relationships provide around half of all marine photosynthesis
But when scientists made the water 5°C warmer, the partnership stopped working—and the results suggest the algae may even become parasitic.
While these species did manage to raise their “growth rate thermal optimum” (their ideal temperature for reproduction), they did not evolve to save their symbiotic relationship.
We are in so much trouble if we don’t get this under control. But 5C is worst case, so we might not reach this point. Might…
Seems so? I wouldn’t even know what to buy in order to listen, nor how much it costs. Honesty, I’m surprised it’s possible to get a signal halfway across the planet. Always thought there’d be way too much interference or insane amounts of power would be necessary due to the power/amplitude of the signal exponentially dying off.

Another example of how bad the US educational system is. How do you not know what a gynecologist is? It’s like not knowing what a urologist is. Is that not taught at school? Is it just mentioned once in passing or something?
Hmm… I probably missed it, but why are there so many colorful birds in the tropics? It just says that they probably came from outside the tropics, but not why there are so many.
While this new study sheds light on how iridescence spread through the bird family tree over the course of millions of years, some big questions remain. “We still don’t know why iridescence evolved in the first place,” says Eliason.
Now that, is something I’d like to know too. My guess: to hide from predators.
Prey adapted to blending in to hide from predators. The majority of colors in the tropics are green (leaves), brown (earth, trees), yellow (sunlight?), and blue (sky).
For prey on the ground, the color of the ground, shrubs, etc. is probably green and brown. For prey higher up, if the predator is on the ground, probably blue, green, and brown are good colors to hide. Maybe predators of birds also have adapted to see other colors than the iridescent colors birds have.Again, a guess, but maybe we’ll know someday.
Last I remember reading, people were buying unpasturised milk from farms as soon as they were told not to. The next COVID might come from the USA because of people like that.
After watching the TV show “For All Mankind”, I can’t help but think just how behind we are on tech and space travel. We could be out there exploring other planets on foot, but we’re here with people unable to admit that we’re heating up the planet.
So far…
I recommend everybody watch the Extrapolations series.
