This section is a science catch-all. I think eventually, most of my blogs will be in the physics domain.
Sociology
Doctors cannot always identify biological sex by appearance at birth. Chromosomes, genes, and hormones interact in complex ways. This leaves many people discovering their true label much later in life.
Science
Arctic warming weakens the polar vortex, slows the jet stream, and creates more extreme weather. Natural fluctuations will always exist, but global warming is affecting the entire planet.
physics
Everything is made of quantum particles, but they constantly interact with the world. This process, called decoherence, hides their weirdness and makes things like cars and basketballs behave in a predictable way.
physics
Transistors work because of quantum effects like tunneling and energy levels.
physics
Quantum entanglement, first described by Einstein and colleagues in 1935, puzzled scientists for decades. Schrödinger named it, Bell proved it, and Aspect confirmed it experimentally, leading to today's quantum revolution.
Science
Cars in the USA and Europe produce billions of tons of CO2 yearly. American vehicles average 27 mpg and emit 5.2 tons of CO2 per year, while European cars get 42 mpg and emit 1.8 tons annually.
Science
In 1935, Albert Einstein, along with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, published the EPR paper arguing that quantum mechanics was incomplete. Decades later, physicist John Bell and experimental scientists proved Einstein was wrong about "spooky action at a distance.”
Science
In 1905, Einstein's "Miracle Year," he published 4 groundbreaking papers that revolutionized physics
