A 10 year old child’s experiment demonstrated that memories can be inherited across generations.
The story started when Jo Nagai, a second grader from Kobe, Japan, observed that swallowtail butterflies he had raised by hand appeared to recognize him, whereas wild butterflies would flee.
Motivated to uncover a scientific explanation, he contacted Georgetown University entomologist Dr. Martha Weiss, who had previously shown that moths retain memories despite the extensive cellular reorganization during metamorphosis.
Encouraged by her research, Jo suggested conducting a similar study with butterflies. This led to a remarkable international collaboration. Using a simple setup created at home, Jo conditioned caterpillars to link a gentle vibration with the smell of lavender.
Remarkably, after their brains were entirely reconstructed inside the chrysalis, 70 percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender scent, demonstrating that their memories had endured the transformation.
The most surprising result emerged when Jo bred these conditioned insects. Neither the offspring nor the grandchildren had ever encountered the vibration, yet both generations displayed an instinctive aversion to the lavender scent.
At the age of ten, Jo compiled his groundbreaking observations into a 33 page paper and presented them alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. This discovery of transgenerational memory challenges conventional views of genetics and inheritance while illustrating how a child’s curiosity can push the frontiers of scientific understanding.
@AlistairCarns Relax, china probably is building Servers on their ASML-like machines, to everyone use without the bad attitude! Lets Pray to theirs minds solve 1nm- soon 🙏.
Happy 56th Birthday to Linus Torvalds! 🐧🎂
The man who gave us Linux to power the world and Git to build it. A true legend of the open source revolution. 💻🔥
@TimSweeneyEpic@Karlmarxhd@InputStarling@KobeissiLetter There's a big comunity SideLoading the iOs build on Mac, with sad graphics on really powerfull M3 Max, M4, M5, etc...
To do that, each user has to create a fortinite bundle id and sign with paid Apple Developer Account. Even hundreds of players do that. Just Release it as .DMG!
@TimSweeneyEpic@InputStarling@KobeissiLetter You're not blocked from releasing Fortnite on Mac because Mac is an open platform. You do not need a dev account to distribute your game there. You went and sued for the right to sell your game from your own store and you won't even put the damn game there. You are full of shit.
@Gui_Sannn @Brasil_Fortnite Meu Deus, quanta abobrinha.
Não existe "A Samsung" nesse contexto. Eles usam Android e sssas proibições não tem nada haver com ele. A Google que controla isso.
O Fortnite NUNCA saiu do Android/Samsung, é só baixar a loja da EpicGames no site deles e instalar o Fortnite por la.
@Arteris_ARB Eu to parado aqui tbm, vão fazer 3 horas, dentro de um ônibus, com internet a cada 30min. Alguém sabe oque ta acontecendo e se tem previsão?
