    Cutting Your Finger: What Happens at the Atomic Level?

    We're all familiar to the fact that when you for example put two fingers together, they aren't really physically touching each other, it's the electromagnetic forces of the atoms from the different fingers resisting each other... which in turn translates to our nerves and finally our brain in...

    Red rain phenomenon of Kerala - aka alien rain?

    It definitely doesn't look like a cell. Just because it has a "membrane" and some carbon+oxygen isn't enough to call it a cell from an organism, in my opinion. And it definitely isn't a red blood cell, at least not one from earth, because our red blood cells have DNA. Is there any evidence...

    Emily & Joe The question of reality, existence and philosophy in general is (as most of us would agree on, I assume) based on human brain activity. We think with our brains, we process EVERY INPUT of information from this "existence" or "reality" or whatever you want to call it with our brains...
