Human Population and Conservation
If one thinks about what broad themes unite conservationists of all stripes a few main ideas emerge. Preserve biodiversity, maintain and expand wild habitat, decrease pollution and waste. Ultimately most of these boil down to a fairly simple formula. The more we can reduce man’s footprint on the planet the better it will be for every other living thing. The easiest and most straightforward method to achieve this end would be to significantly reduce the human population of the planet. I think most people understand this at some base level and I believe it explains a lot of the negative attitudes many people instinctually express when asked their feelings on the matter. Essentially the conservationist is asking us to admit that we are the problem, we are a net negative for the health of the planet, all living things would be better off if we ceased to exist. I know that few environmentalist/conservationists would put it exactly this way though many probably believe it. In point of fact until very recently I did too.

The Mathematics of Nature's Beauty
Everything is mathematics. It’s not just found in a textbook, or on a chalk board. It’s not limited to calculating your coupon savings at a grocery store, or even to the deeply complex world of quantum mechanics. Everything is mathematics… The universe, and everything in it is mathematics. The body that you live in everyday, the consciousness that lives in your mind, even the etheric soul that drives you, it’s all mathematics. Nature is nothing but numbers. And they are beautiful!

Stargazers discover the nearest dark opening to Earth, traces of something else
Earth has another neighbor: A dark opening extra from the passing of a transient youthful star. Dark openings are places in space where there is a ton of issue in a tiny space. Gravity, the power that arranges things, is so solid in a dark opening that nothing, not light, can get away.

King Phillip Came Over From Great Spain
I happened to hear a classic old tune I like the other day. If you guessed, 1994s breakout hit Regulate by the legendary Warren G, you’d be wrong. It was actually that stupid song for teaching kids about the Linnaeus classification system in biology. You know what I’m talking about right? the kingdom, phylum, class, order thing…..King Phillip came over from great Spain. If you ever had to take a science class in grades 2–8, especially if there was any sort of focus on biology it probably would have been forced on you at some point. The song is super annoying but kind of catchy. Lyrics and link if you are a glutton for punishment.

The longest-living creatures on Earth
10. Hydra: Also Potentially Immortal HydraHydra is a gathering of little spineless creatures with delicate bodies that look a bit like jellyfish. Like Turritopsis dohrnii, hydras additionally can possibly live until the end of time. Hydras don't give indications of disintegrating with age, Live Science recently detailed. These spineless creatures are generally comprised of foundational microorganisms, which consistently recover through duplication or cloning. Hydras don't live perpetually under normal conditions on account of dangers like hunters and illness, yet without these outside dangers, they could be eternal.
