The “habitable zone”
Before a danger is recognized in the public sphere, regardless of what science has to say, most will continue to argue in defense of the poisons they consume most often. Before the age of science, the best known example is probably the use of
Stem cells will likely play a central role in future medicine, due to their unique ability to become any type of cell stored in its complete genetic data. Every cell of your body carries a complete copy of all the genes, including those coding for
Humans consider themselves the epitome of evolution: spanning the globe in its entirety and even threatening to spill over into space. Most people consider evolution to be like a linear progression: creatures constantly getting better and more adapted to their circumstances. Unfortunately, both of
