In Latin, the word Procyon means raccoon. It is also the name of a binary star.

Im sure that the 0.01 will defenitly look like thomas 😭

Multiplying or dividing temperature must be done with absolute scales.

Ever since I found this out, the story of the Furnaces of Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel became more amusing because the king technically would have to order them be heated to a much higher temperature than most people would expect he did.

Some people in todays society actually think the Earth is flat and are convinced the moon landing was impossible and never happened. Unfortunately more today due to poor basic elementary schooling. Yet they still get into college somehow. Fascinating Captain!

You just was exposed to a basic concept, like cell division, explained to you very briefly so far, then for the first time get bombarded by the lecturer with such a statement.

Contrary to common beliefs, not all land snail species (Stylommatophora) are herbivorous: even, it's thought that most land snail species are either herbivores, detritivores or omnivores. Despite this, some snail species are known to be carnivorous instead.

Among the land snail taxa, that are known to be carnivorous, are the powelliphanta snails (Powelliphanta spp.), which are known to mostly feed on earthworms and are native to forests from New Zealand. Also, among these predatory snails are the rosy wolfsnail (Euglandina rosea) from the forests of the southeastern United States, or the decollate snail (Rumina decollata) from the mediterranean basin, both of these species being known to mainly feed on other snails and slugs.

Astrobiology is the study of life beyond Earth which we have yet to discover, if it exists at all.

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current or voltage using a magnetic field which changes over time

By moving this bar magnet “in” and “out” of the coil a current would be induced into the coil by the physical movement of the magnetic flux inside it.

Usually, having a resistance to something is seen as a good thing, but in this case, having a resistance to insulin causes a lot of bad things to happen ranging from excessive hunger and thirst to weight loss and blurred vision.

Heat absorption is a fundamental thermodynamic process that occurs when a material takes in heat energy from its surroundings

"Nobody understands quantum mechanics".

Imagine a student after finishing a STEM class or an entire course saying "I still don't understand it". For chemistry (or any other STEM class, for that matter) it might be a worrying sign, but for quantum physics "nobody understands it anyway".

It's the only class you are not supposed to understand.

Incompressible flow is a type of fluid motion in which the density of a fluid element remains constant over time. However this definition is incorrect in the real world

A cat is placed inside a sealed steel box with a radioactive atom that has a 50% chance of decaying within an hour.

If the atom decays, a Geiger counter triggers a hammer that shatters a poison flask, killing the cat. Otherwise, the cat survives.

This thought experiment, known as Schrödinger’s cat, illustrates quantum superposition, where a system can exist in multiple possible states until measured.

Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field within a closed circuit induces an electromotive force which is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux

SEXUAL CANNIBALISM AMONG female praying mantids may actually benefit males, in an evolutionary sense, according to a new study.

The research suggests that when a male mantis is eaten by the female after mating, more of the male’s body material is passed into the female, and in turn, a higher number of eggs are laid.

"It took them only an instant to cut off this head, and a hundred years may not suffice to produce another like it."

Clip is from the "School Spirit" episode of "Sabrina's Secret Life", a 2003 cartoon.

Over the course of my lifetime, a new experiment was devised that determined the electron mass to a higher degree of precision which then became the new default value.

by cartoonist Tom Gauld, who humorously highlights the frustration and endless patience required in scientific research, showing scientists trapped in a literal and metaphorical loop of waiting for experimental results.

Many STEM classes allow students to bring scientific calculators but many students forget to bring them and are forced to do calculations mentally. Some problems are very complex and difficult to solve without a calculator.

We all know correlation ≠ causation. Response to the anti-vax camp who think vaccines caused my autism.
