Frank Drake – The Drake Equation, For Alien Intelligence Is More Important Than Ever

How many intelligent civilizations should there be in our galaxy right now? In 1961, the US astrophysicist Frank Drake, who passed away on September 2 at the age of 92, came up with an equation to estimate this. The Drake equation, dating from a stage in his career when he was “too naive to be nervous” (as he later put it), has become famous and bears his name. This places Drake in the company of towering physicists with equations named after them including James Clerk Maxwell and Erwin Schrödinger. Unlike those, Drake’s equation does not encapsulate a law of nature. Instead it combines some poorly known probabilities into an informed estimate. Whatever reasonable values you feed into the equation (see image below) it is hard to avoid the conclusion that we shouldn’t be alone in the ga...

Fashion Is Important Here’s The Top 5 Reasons Why

In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the reasons why fashion is important. Before we get to the point, we should find out what fashion really is. In simple terms, fashion refers to the way you dress and style yourself. However, it has a lot of different aspects that include glamour and trends. This term is international and has a lot of religious and cultural connections. Different parts of the world have different fashion trends. As a matter of fact, fashion is the essence of our life. Fashion is influenced by our feelings and likes and dislikes. Since all of us feel differently about things around us, it affects the fashion trends. First of all, fashion is not about flashy designer outfits or buying expensive jewelry and makeup sets. Instead, it's an absolute term th...

This Is What Is Important In On-Set Safety – Filmmakers Who Work With Firearms

Christopher Gist, University of South Australia and Sarah Mayberry, The University of Melbourne In a horrendous accident, a cinematographer has died and a director has been injured after Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun while filming in New Mexico. When shooting a film with guns, there are many choices to make: each prop needs to be appropriate for the character, and appropriate for the scene. There is also the choice of whether you will use replica weapons, real weapons, or a mix. But most importantly, everyone on set needs to know how to work alongside guns. A gun with no ammunition – that is, a gun with neither a bullet nor blanks – is not dangerous. But even so, on set there is always an armourer, a safety officer, and a stunt coordinator: at least three people who always have an eye ...

Online Communities Are Important Sources Of Support, But They Also Pose Risks For Young People

Aristotle called humans “the social animal,” and people have recognized for centuries that young people need to be in communities to develop into healthy adults. The ongoing pandemic has caused concern about the effects of isolation on children and teenagers’ social and psychological growth. But while young people today may not be able to gather in person as often as they’d like, they aren’t necessarily isolated. They have long used online communities to explore their identities and conduct their social lives. They’re involved in anonymous hip-hop discussion forums, ADHD support groups on Facebook, biology class group chats on Instagram and comments sections under popular YouTube videos. There are many of these online communities, and collectively they cover a wide range of subjects. The...

Once A Pipe Dream On Capitol Hill, Legalizing Marijuana Takes An Important Step Forward

In early December, the House of Representatives passed the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, or the MORE Act. The bill sought to decriminalize marijuana nationally by removing cannabis from the federal government’s Schedule I controlled substance list. That category indicates the drug has high potential for abuse and no therapeutic value. It also includes drugs like methamphetamine and heroin. The bill is a long way from passage. With a new Congress just seated, it would need to be reintroduced and pass again in the House. Even if that happens, it is unlikely to get through the Senate. Still, the initial success of the MORE Act is an important sign that sentiment in Washington is changing, guided by increasing public backing for cannabis reform. Two-thirds of Ameri...

Birthed by HBCU students, this organization offers important lessons for today’s student activists

April 15, 2020 marks 60 years since the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, perhaps better known as SNCC, and usually pronounced as “snick.” SNCC became one of the most important organizations to engage in grassroots organizing during the modern civil rights movement and radically transformed youth culture during the decade. Jelani Favors, an associate professor of history and author of a book on how historically black colleges and universities ushered in a new era of activism and leadership, discusses SNCC’s legacy and what lessons it can offer today’s activists. What role did SNCC play in the civil rights movement? The founding of SNCC in April 1960 represented an important paradigm shift within the modern civil rights movement. SNCC encouraged black youth to defia...

10 time-saving tips to get important stuff done

The irony of time management is that there is no time to address time management issues. “Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both” are wise words by Benjamin Franklin that still ring true today — perhaps even more so in this harried technologically advanced age. RescueTime.com editor Jory McKay pointed out that the irony of time management is that there is no time to address time management issues. However, never ending for many individuals is stress and concern that not enough time exists in a day to tackle necessary tasks. Peter Turla, a time management expert based in Flower Mound, Texas, said key advice is the old adage “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” or in his words: “Don’t spend dollar time on penny projects.” He encourages individuals to evaluate daily schedul...

The Most Important Question to Always Ask: Does It Help Me Achieve My Goals?

Why do so many people not get what they want out of life? Why do so many people find themselves falling into jobs they don't really want? Or living places that don't make them happy? Or with lifestyles that they find stressful? How does someone go from dreaming of being a rock star, to being locked in an office to enter data onto a spreadsheet? Well, there are many factors. But it usually starts by not clearly defining your goals or what you want. Because until you know exactly what it is you actually want, how can you possibly expect to get it? That means it isn't good enough to decide you want to be 'rich', you need to know what you want to do to become rich. What kind of work you enjoy, how many hours you're willing to work etc. Likewise, if you hope to become a rock star, then you...
