Two years of structured, vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of age-related structural changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds

As the heart ages, it tends to shrink and stiffen, impairing cardiovascular function and increasing disease risk

Dr. Ben Levine’s team gradually built participants up to 5–6 hours of weekly training, combining Norwegian 4x4 intervals, endurance exercise, and twice-weekly strength work

By the end of the study, their 52-year-old hearts structurally resembled those of people roughly 20 years younger

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense.

It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

A Billion Years of Plate Tectonics

This incredible animation compresses a billion years of plate tectonics into just 40 seconds. We tend to think of land masses as stable - but they’re in constant motion. They just move a lot more slowly than us.

The answers to many modern problems are simple but politically incorrect.

So instead of solving anything, everybody pretends they don't know what's going on, and spend years misdiagnosing the issue, talking in circles, and wasting time.

Found only in the Galápagos, marine iguanas are the world’s only sea-diving lizards.

When in the water, their blood circulation is reduced, with a heart rate of ~30 bpm vs 100 bpm on land, allowing them to better conserve their warmth.

Errr guys did you know humans are about to fly the FURTHEST INTO SPACE EVER in two days?!

Yes things are drama rn, but this Artemis mission deserves way more media coverage than it’s getting surely!

Your life does not need to be easier, it needs to be simpler.

Your system is designed to handle stress and challenge but not complication.

You probably handle hard things pretty well but feel overwhelmed when they become messy.

Do not attribute to difficulty that which can be explained by complexity.

No matter if people agree or disagree with the actions taken in Operation Epic Fury and Iran...

Hoping our troops stay safe.
They're someone's parents, children, etc..let's hope they all come home.

If there is anything we can be united on, it's rooting for the troops safety.

So much "us versus them" talk. Who wants to wish for a bigger "them" to remind humans that it is just us who are fighting us right now? The whales are not calling for a revolution or lions a war against the humans.
