​Without segmentation, organisms would lack sophisticated means of movement and complex body structures that enable advanced functions. Segmentation provides the means for an organism to travel and protect its sensitive organs from damage. The ability to divide functions into different portions of the body allows an organism to perform increasingly complex activities and use different segments to perform varying functions.

So the next time you bend down and touch your feet, thank your far-flung, worm-like ancestors for that.

Carbon is the element of life. We've discussed this topic from the viewpoint of biology but how would a chemist look into the life-giving nature of carbon? Biology is basically applied chemistry after all, would a chemist rob biology of the beauty and mystery of life?

​Or would we better understand and realize that everything in this universe is co-dependent on each other?

Have you ever had a dream that is so real thhat it's comparable to the waking world itself? Were you in control of that dream? Were you in control of yourself in that dream at all?

These "lucid" dreams are being studied as part of how our brain works. It has great potential to make use of the presently untapped 1/3 of our lives. But are there dangers such as those in Bad Connection?

While it is a convenient method to travel long distances, air travel is quite energy inefficient as far as environmentalists are concerned. Now the race is on to develop either a more efficient engine or one that is outright emission-free.

Although the basic technology exists, the performance required of them is pushing on the boundaries of current levels of engineering and physics. As we shall see...

As explained in a previous article, there is an infinite number of numbers. But what's more important is that there are different types of numbers with unique properties that makes them useful in one kind of mathematics while at the same time makes it seems like they are useless.

In this article, we will be addressing the different types of numbers. For their use on the other hand, we will be needing your help.
