Butter vs. Margarine: What’s The Difference?

By Kate Bratskeir The butter vs. margarine debate is a confusing one. Which spread is healthier? Butter is made from milk or cream. That’s really it. Some consumers are concerned about its high levels of saturated fat, and this concern brought margarine to the dairy aisle. Margarine’s make-up is a bit more complicated. Vegetable oil tends to be the main ingredient, but each margarine brand differs, and some are way healthier than others. Many have less unsaturated fat than their butter counterparts, but are often full of trans fat. In the video above, AsapScience puts the confusion to rest. Watch … Continue reading Butter vs. Margarine: What’s The Difference?

‘Parallel universes DO exist’: Multiple versions of us are living in alternate worlds that interact with each other, theory claims

Dr Michael Hall from Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics says the ‘Many-Interacting Worlds’ theory may even create the extraordinary possibility of testing for the existence of other worlds The parallel worlds constantly influence one another, researchers claim This is because, instead of a collapse in which quantum particles ‘choose’ to occupy one state or another, they in fact occupy both, simultaneously The theory could resolve some of the irregularities in quantum mechanics It states some worlds are almost identical to ours, but most are different Theory may even create possibility of one day testing for these worlds By Ellie Zolfagharifard … Continue reading ‘Parallel universes DO exist’: Multiple versions of us are living in alternate worlds that interact with each other, theory claims

Research Forecasts Next Wave of Wearable Biometric Identification

by Nicholas West The move to give everyone a global unique ID that can be verified across nearly all human activity continues to be incrementally rolled out. The fear of identity theft and cyber-banking crime of all stripes has been the sales pitch to accept identity tech such as facial recognition, iris scans, vein scans, voiceprinting and fingerprinting, as well as their attendant databases. Digital sign-in services, smart cards and a range of biometrics have all been offered as perfect solutions that are starting to enter the market at many levels. Moreover, there is an ongoing cooperative effort between global … Continue reading Research Forecasts Next Wave of Wearable Biometric Identification

The Misery That Halloween Really Is

By Ted Twietmeyer Trick or treat – Little beggars mindlessly knocking on doors until their knuckles bleed and get a blister from pushing door bell buttons. So why is all this right to do?
