@Rainmaker1973 Please get well soon! You will be sorely missed on Twitter until then. Take care.

Body transfer illusion is the illusion of owning a part of a body other than one's own.

This is the famous rubber hand experiment and it tricks your brain.

@Gizmodo Gotta get me one of those.

@DrDavidMiano @joerogan @Graham__Hancock I doubt it. Hancock has never debated a real archeologist or historian because he knows his "theory" will fall apart. Michael Shermer doesn't count. And Rogan is a believer in Hancock.

@BrianRoemmele For this, except lower. Also, if one slips through, you get an X-men baby.

If you look at all solar system exploration missions coming soon in a single infographic it looks more like a planning tool for the 'Expanse' showrunners ... ;-) Seriously, we *are* an interplanetary species, thanks to our clever robots big and small! #thefutureisbright

Sickening that Chevron dumped billions of gallons of toxic oil waste into this pristine ecosystem in Ecuador's Amazon.

The Rio Napo (pictured in 1993) has been used by Indigenous peoples for millennia. It's now in Chevron's "Chernobyl" disaster zone.

Accountability is coming.

Restaurant-goers in Singapore will soon get the chance to eat chicken nuggets grown in bioreactors. Proponents of meat alternatives believe this is just the beginning and that regulators in the US, China, and the EU will soon follow.

Arecibo gave us so much, including:
- Determining that Mercury takes 59 days to rotate, not 88
- The first ever binary pulsar, and subsequently first indirect evidence of gravitational waves
- The first ever exoplanet in 1992
- The first ever repeating FRB

Thank you Arecibo ❤️😭

It was March 5th, 1982 and this is what it sounded like on the planet Venus.

This is the actual lost sound recording of Venera 14 finally available for you to hear after almost 40 years.

This is astonishing.
