A YouTube video that lasts 140 years has gone viral. Nobody is clear why

A YouTube video which, on paper, would not end for more than a century is the type of oddity that the internet knows how to turn into a phenomenon.

We have been obsessed with Japan for decades to understand people who live over 100 years. The key was in Brazil

For decades, when science was searching for secrets of aginghe always looked in the same places: Japan’s “Blue Zones”Sardinia or the icy and homogeneous populations of northern Europe. However, researchers have pointed out that all this time we have been ignoring a biological gold mine: Brazil. The study. Understanding why there are people who live … Read more

Human beings do not perceive time linearly, but rather like chapters of a novel. The New Year is the “Black Friday” of new … Read more

For years we have seen dolphins swim towards orcas without fear. Now technology has found out why

Until very recently, marine biology had an unwritten rule about the North Pacific: the orcas are the queens and dolphins, at best, a nuisance; and at worst, food for the orcas.
