The Mayans developed a sophisticated mathematical system, notably using a base 20 (vigesimal) system. They are also known for their detailed calendars and astronomical observations, which required advanced mathematical understanding.

Kurt Gödel, who was one of Albert Einstein's best friends in his later years, found a solution to general theory of relativity that modelled a strange, unusual and rotating universe allowing for backward time travel.

Sleep deprivation impairs memory by up to 40%, glucose tolerance by 22%, and mitochondrial respiration by 18% But strategic interventions (HIIT, creatine, caffeine, bright light) can help prevent/reverse this damage when sleep isn't an option Here's what you need to know🧵1/13

The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a material, typically a metal, when light or other electromagnetic radiation shines upon its surface. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.
