Do you know the Luhn algorithm?

Created by IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn, it is widely used by most credit cards and many government identification numbers as a simple method of distinguishing valid numbers from mistyped or otherwise incorrect numbers.

Fun fact: you can see photosynthesis in real-time.

This is an aquatic plant producing oxygen.

In northern Japan and the forests of China, you can see these flowers that appear normal but whose petals become transparent upon contact with water. Its common name is skeleton flower or crystal flower; its scientific name is Diphylleia grayi.

This is called negative space effect. Black paint makes chicken wire near invisible. Black absorbs all light, making the wire non-reflective. When painted, it blends into shadows and becomes nearly undetectable. The dark gaps between the wire start to dominate visually. Your eyes ignore the thin black lines. The negative space takes over. The wire is still there but your brain stops registering it. One simple principle. Perfect optical illusion..

"737 crosswind landing". This was how it was sent to me - Enter Air B-737 at Birmingham, in March 2025. More importantly, this video was filmed by @AirportAction. Don´t forget to go follow them on Youtube (more subs, the more content they can make!)

Air India Senior VP Ops Manish Uppal has written to all Boeing 787 pilots

1. Following the reported defect involving a Fuel Control Switch on one of our B787 aircraft, Engineering has escalated the matter to Boeing for priority evaluation.

2. In the interim, while we await Boeing’s response, our engineers – out of abundance of caution - have initiated precautionary fleet-wide re-inspection of the Fuel Control Switch (FCS) latch to verify normal operations.

3. Promptly report any defects observed during operations

Chlorophyll and Hemoglobin

The major difference is that plant blood carries a Magnesium (Mg) molecule where our blood contains a Iron (Fe) molecule.

Magnesium is what is responsible for making plant blood green, and iron is what makes our blood red.
