Physics Nobel Prize Winners Involved in Symmetry Breaking

As it was somewhat expected, given this year's debates over various quantum particles topics, but mainly those related to CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded yesterday for groundbreaking discoveries in the field of quantum physics. Thus, it was handed to some researchers t...

Physical Beauty Does Not Betray Overall Health

Physical beauty is something connected to your genes. Researches linked it to body shape, facial proportions and symmetry. Estrogen (female sex hormone) load has been linked to feminine face and body ratios. Women with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) around 0.7 (0.67-1.18) are most desirable to men, while a 0.8 to 1.0 WHR i...

Asymmetrical Boobs Are Prone to Developing Cancer!

There's no such thing as perfect symmetry. Indeed, our genes encode for a biological program that should make us develop in a perfectly symmetric organism. But the body has to fight from the very start to achieve the perfect condition, called homeostasis. In this fight, there are many 'obstacles', such...

The 3 Main Physical Factors of the Biological Attraction in Humans

Attraction is more than looks: it combines smell, hearing (voice) and the visual clues. Some are at the subconscious level, driving us towards a person without being able to explain it clearly. Biology dominates us. Even before being born, it is already determined how attractive we will be. 1.Symmetry. Even at the st...

Scientists Created Quasicrystalline Ploymers

Quasicrystals are weird structures, aperiodic structures (aperiodic = lack of translational symmetry, which means that a shifted copy will never match exactly its original) that differ from crystals by lacking the regular repeating structure of crystal structures. The first officially reported case of what came to b...

248-Dimension Number Ready for String Theory

A team of 19 mathematicians has succeeded in mapping E-8, a vast complex number invented more than a century ago. The 248-dimensional structure took four years of work and generated more data than the Human Genome Project. E8 belongs to the "Lie group", invented by the 19th Century Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie ...
