Welcome back guys to this thrilling weekly digest. A gentle reminder that we are still in the month of may and may 12 be with you. 👀 I hope that didn't come out wrong, yes it did.......not. 🤭

Feel free to ignore the jokes but I must warn you that you would be missing the fun. 🤩

Alright, what are we actually doing today?

Ah yes, this 👇

I hope it makes your day. 😉

How rich is too rich?

Everyone one of us wants a good and comfortable life but in our current world such kind of life mandates the use of money. Apparently we did bring that upon ourselves and this is not to say it's a bad idea. Currently, the world seems to be facing economic crisis/problems, thus making it difficult for some, if not most to afford the life they want. It's even as worst as being unable to afford basic needs but.......there are folks amongst us who can over-afford and are living over-comfortable lives, these are the so called ultra wealthy individuals and they are very few. Given that there's a cap to the supply of money and that this money goes into circulation, it is logical to assume that there are structures that always helps these individuals trap more of this supply, these structures acts against those who find themselves relatively poor. What if there were policies that limited how rich one could become?

Do you think it would help distribute money fairly?

Why not visit this awesome article to find out and more. For those of us who believe in a benevolent God, shouldn't this also apply to him/her 👀. I mean, he should stop monopolizing his powers or maybe the evil ways of man actually reflects his/her image. 🤭

A New Study Reveals a Warp Drive That Actually Operates Within Known Physics

With the current state of our planet which is likely to get worst over time, one possible way of continuing our existence is to move beyond it but our current transportation technologies is far from the job and that's because moving to another habitable planet could take years more than a human lifetime. As a matter of fact, we need a vehicle that can move faster than the vacuum speed of light but that would violate one of the principles of special relativity. One interesting way out is with the help of a "warp drive" inspired by science fiction and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Think of it as a device that can bend spacetime, by so doing it relatively shortens the distance and the time, this gives a sense of faster than light travel for an observer outside the drive but locally (inside the drive) the speed is lower than that of light. You may have seen such concepts in sci-fi movies like star trek or star wars where the spacecraft seems to disappear and appear from the perspective of an outsider. Outside of sci-fi and inspired by general relativity physicists have been trying to figure out how to make it a reality but it usually requires stuffs that don't seem to exist in our universe, stuffs like.......continue reading. Looks like those actions in those movies are about to become a reality and I can't wait to be long dead - yeah you heard me right. 😌

US TikTok ban: how the looming restriction is affecting scientists on the app

With the current political tensions between China and the US, a bill has been passed to potentially ban the Chinese based social platform - tick tock, but some US scientists seem to be very worried and do you know exactly why?

The reason is......continue reading. Wait a minute, the boom in the app's usage happened during a pandemic that originated from the same.......🤐 , oh dear.

Elite Runners Live Years Longer Than The Average Person, Scientists Find

We all can run, if not how would we face danger - apparently that's just one way of facing danger. 😁
However, not all of us are elite runners and this report seems to be telling us that elite runners may also be blessed with another gift, and it's the gift of......continue reading. With that extra life they can prepare well for the danger - just kidding. 😂

Consciousness Could Hinge on How Your Brain Handles Metals, Scientists Say

To be able to tell if an AI has attained consciousness we must first understand what "consciousness" actually is and how ours arose. Unfortunately, we still haven't a clue but a recent research seems to have discovered something remarkable and it's about "memories", metals and consciousness. So, what's the connection between them??

If you are curious to find out and more, then I suggest you continue reading. This is what I was trying to say in this article ,especially the importance of memory. 🙃

It is here we conclude today's report, have a thoughtful day and till i come your way again next week.
