This curiosity has a social explanation rather than a scientific one. For centuries, society and the media have pushed women to hold themselves to a certain standard, whether it's small feet or a perky behind, and the majority of women have chosen stylish presentation over comfort.

Dopamine, a neurotransmitter released during the beginning stage of a relationship, is also triggered when cocaine and nicotine are used. It provides the surge of pleasure and euphoria that makes those narcotics so addictive. It also increases the secretion of testosterone, which, as previously indicated, is necessary for attraction. If you were to choose between the three, we believe falling in love is the safer option.

Being an astronaut is a serious profession, but they do allow for little fun every now and again. In space, "fun" activities, like as imbibing alcohol, are absolutely outlawed. However, astronauts have occasionally attempted to defy this regulation. Bottles of cognac have been "smuggled" into spacesuits by a few Russian cosmonauts. Smuggle because they couldn't lawfully transport the forbidden drug into space. They have acknowledged to mislabeling them as "juice bottles" or concealing them inside hollowed-out books. One determined astronaut concealed a little bottle in their blood pressure measurement device's wristband.

According to University of California researchers, we spend 30% of our time daydreaming every day. This proportion can go as high as 70% at times (for example, during long travels), but there's nothing wrong with it. According to studies, those who enjoy floating in the clouds are more creative. They're also superior at problem-solving and stress relief.

Examine the yellow block above for a long time. Is it dizzying after a while? Perhaps even nauseous? If this is the case, you are not alone. A number of studies have found that the colour yellow can make people feel dizzy and nauseated. As a result, it is frequently used sparingly (or very strategically) by those in advertising and is almost never used in the interiors of various modes of transportation, most notably aeroplanes.

Men have selective hearing, it's a fact! They can only listen to their female partners for 6 minutes, but this time is more than doubled to 15 minutes when they talk to their male friends. Before you start blaming men for their lack of attention, keep in mind that women pay more attention to conversations with their friends than to conversations with their romantic partners.

Do you consider all of your decisions, weighing all of your options and calculating the impact of each outcome? You may believe you are, but you are incorrect. The majority of your decisions are made subconsciously because your conscious mind would be overwhelmed with information and you would likely become mentally frozen. This is because your brain receives over 11 million bits of information every second, and there simply isn't enough "brainpower" to process it all consciously.

When kissing, 70% of individuals turn their heads to the right. A German scientist who was monitoring kissing couples in airports, train stations, and beaches came to this conclusion. Perhaps this head posture is related to being right-handed.

According to the World Health Organization, only Belarus consumes more alcohol than Moldova. With each person consuming an average of 16.8 litres of liquor each year (excluding under 15s). Well that is a lot of booze..

Speaking of astronauts, their experience has shown that transitioning from weightlessness to gravity can be taxing on the body. Muscles atrophy and bones lose bone mass in the absence of gravity. According to NASA, astronauts in space can lose 1% of their bone mass per month.

Danish researchers investigated 387 pairs of twins in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. They discovered that merely glancing at someone’s face may predict whether they would live until old age. If a person appears younger than their actual age, they will live longer than if they appeared older. And scientists have showed that it is pre-programmed at the DNA level. Telomeres, which are key bits of DNA that signal a cell’s reproduction ability, are also connected to how youthful a person seems. People who appear to be younger have shorter telomeres, yet longer life...

During the Victorian era, there was a significant change in the way people dressed. The Victorian dress reform, also known as the rational dress movement, occurred between the 1860s and 1890s, during the middle and late Victorian eras. Reformers proposed, wore, and even designed clothing that was more practical and comfortable than what was available at the time.

There is a spa in Japan where you can bathe in coffee, as well as wine, tea, and other beverages! Bathing in coffee is said to have recharging, relaxing, and skin beautifying properties.

This occurred while he was shooting "127 Hours." According to legend, Franco enrolled in an NYU acting class where the teacher gave him a "D." He was working 127 hours at the time. Another aspect of this incident is that the professor was eventually sacked for assigning a "D" grade to Franco's paper.

Unfortunately, Apple has officially announced that they will not share the iPhone sales figure anymore back on November 1, 2018. So, we actually don’t the current sales figures of the iPhone. However, we can tell you the number from 2007 to 2018, though. Reports say that Apple has sold over 2.3 billion units of iPhone in this period. And, they sold about 220 million iPhones in 2018 alone.

Obviously, James Bond is a British legend, yet he is of Scottish heritage. This is particularly evident in films like Skyfall, in which Bond returns to his childhood home in Scotland. However, Bond's lineage was not revealed until later in the series. Following the popularity of Dr. No, which starred Sean Connery as the famous spy, Ian Fleming incorporated Bond's Scottish origin. Of course, Connery is Scottish. Fleming specifically included these Scottish facts in the 007 novel You Only Live Twice, eternally establishing Bond's background. Connery would subsequently feature in the cinematic version of the book, however it was hardly faithful to the source material.

Italy was a dictatorship until 1945, while having a royal dynasty until 1946. Following WWII, the country decided to become a republic, and King Umberto II governed briefly from May 9 to June 12, 1946. He spent the rest of his days in exile in Portugal. In Italy, he is regarded as "the May King," a reference to his exceptionally brief rule.

John Duns Scotus, a thirteenth-century philosopher, believed that wearing a pointed cap would help spread knowledge from the tip to the brain, and his "Dunsmen" followers wore them as a badge of honour. However, his ideas became less popular in the 1500s, and the meaning of the Duns cap was turned on its head, becoming something of a joke.

Scientists can detect whether a gene has been effectively inserted into an animal's DNA by adding some type of clearly recognised marker to it. When testing an anti-FIV gene in 2011, scientists at the Mayo Clinic employed a fluorescent protein from a particular jellyfish. The tests were successful, however the cats did glow in the dark. In fact, these cats' offspring sparkle in the dark! Nonetheless, their accomplishment is only one step toward an ultimate solution for AIDS.

Your brain is working on problem solving and learning skills while you sleep. If you're learning a new skill or studying new information, getting enough sleep and having dreams can help you learn faster.

This study was inspired by evidence obtained from wrongful conviction cases. The study involved interviewing adult suspects in a comfortable setting and employing poor memory retrieval techniques. Within three hours, the suspects had been interrogated in ways that led them to believe in and confess to crimes they had not committed. They were even able to vividly describe the events, and some of them believed they had committed a crime as serious as assault with a weapon as teenagers. Are you willing to be persuaded?
