Why are there still opponents of the theory of relativity?
When someone tells another person directions to their house, they don’t need to tell them, “My home is motionless”. And the people of the ancient world had invented math, and their greatest scholars studied the stars and concluded that the Earth is at the center of the cosmos because all the stars circle the Earth every day. They didn’t need to say the obvious, which is that stars circle the motionless Earth. That was an assumption so obvious it required no proof, not even a thought.

"Transformations in the Maternal Brain: The Impact of Childbirth"
During pregnancy, a woman's uterus undergoes a staggering expansion, ballooning to over 500 times its typical size. Yet, not all of the transformations occurring within her are outwardly apparent. In fact, some of the most profound changes take place within her brain. When a mother lays eyes on her newborn for the very first time, it's akin to experiencing love at first sight in the most literal sense.

These regions communicate the release of euphoria-inducing hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin into her bloodstream, promptly igniting a powerful and unwavering connection of love and devotion to her precious newborn.
