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...

People who have a full bladder are more convincing liars. A strong urge to use the restroom causes a person to focus on self-control, making lying more plausible. Furthermore, they attempt to prevent unnecessary movement. That's why scientists conducting a scientific experiment believed liars who needed to go to the bathroom.

You may have noticed that women take more risks than men, and there is a scientific reason for this. Women have a larger anterior cingulate cortex than men, which is the part of the brain that weighs options when making a decision. Some argue that this was evolution's way of making women better caregivers and saving the "tribe" when it came to gathering food and establishing social structures.

Researchers at Arizona State University made the ground-breaking discovery that the ability to see red in all its glory is frequently gender-dependent. There is a gene that allows people to see and interpret red and its related colours such as cardinal, maroon, crimson, and so on, and that gene is linked to the x-chromosome. Because women are born with two x chromosomes, they have a better ability to see the entire red spectrum, whereas men, with a single x chromosome, aren't necessarily equipped to tell the difference between red and, say, cardinal.

Those enormous Stetsons you associate with cowboys like John Wayne, Billy the Kid, and Wyatt Earp? Yeah. Those were not worn by cowboys. In reality, the headgear of choice for nineteenth-century cowboys was a bowler hat.

Psychologists have examined a phenomena known as reactance, which states that when individuals think that particular liberties are being taken away, they not only break the law, but break it significantly more than they would normally in order to reclaim their freedom. This might be one of the finest psychological facts to explain why a youngster who isn't allowed to use his phone in class will chew gum while texting.

During the first year of being in a romance, a protein in our cells called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) that is vital for the functions of particular sympathetic and sensory nerve cells, appears to thrive. During youthful love, our senses are heightened, and our fight or flight reaction system is activated.

According to a neurologist research, some individuals who have had brain trauma and have acquired damage on the right side of their brain have an obsessive preoccupation with making jokes that they deem humorous while not finding other people's jokes funny.

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.

When explaining behaviour, we often attribute positive outcomes to internal factors and negative outcomes to external forces. When it comes to other people's actions, however, we usually attribute them to internal characteristics. For example, if we receive a poor grade on a paper, it is the fault of the teacher; if a classmate receives a poor grade, it is because he did not study diligently enough. The actor-observer bias refers to this tendency.

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..

In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IV waged war against cats. He said that black cats were Satan's tools. He commanded the annihilation of these felines throughout Europe as a result of this notion. This strategy, however, backfired, resulting in a rise in the number of plague-carrying rats.

Life is a difficult and dirty affair. If you don't want to lose brain cells, you might want to skip this calorie-burning tip. A 45-minute stroll with your dog would be a safer method to burn 150 calories.

Tens of thousands of people waited days before the launch for the iPhone in front of the AT&T and Apple retail stores for buying the iPhone. Matter of fact, lots of stores reported stock shortage within half an hour of the release.

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.

Start counting those sheep, since sleep is crucial. Many of history's worst tragedies, such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Challenger explosion, and the Exxon Valdez oil leak, were caused by a lack of sleep.

Everyone has experienced the agony of rejection at some point in their lives, but did you know that rejection causes physical harm as well as emotional pain? Even if you are unable to feel physical pain, scientists have discovered that the reactions and cascading events that occur in the brain after rejection or physical pain are nearly identical. Furthermore, the same natural chemical is released in both cases.

When it comes to the content of their dreams, researchers discovered some differences between men and women. In several studies, men reported dreaming about weapons significantly more frequently than women, while women dreamed about clothing references more frequently than men. Women have slightly longer dreams with more characters than men. When it comes to the characters that appear in dreams, men dream about other men twice as often as women, while women dream about both sexes equally.

You may hear people claim to be natural multitaskers, and you've probably even seen it in job descriptions, but humans simply cannot multitask. You can listen to music while working, but your brain can only handle one higher-functioning task at a time. That means you'll either be working and ignoring the music, or you'll be working and ignoring the music. People are incapable of thinking about two things at the same time.

According to recent study from the University of Bristol, just 0.006 percent of the Korean population carries the ABCC11 gene. This gene is responsible for armpit odour. In fact, the study discovered that most East Asians lack this gene, with Koreans having the lowest amounts. While this may come as a surprise to Americans, it isn't a significant deal in Korea because deodorant isn't widely available!

Ancient Egyptians regarded cats to be sacred creatures. Most households are said to have kept a cat as a pet because they felt it would bring them good luck!

Many Koreans were forced to fight for the Japanese cause, but one soldier is said to have fought for almost everyone. According to folklore, after fighting for the Imperial Japanese Army, Korean soldier Yang Kyoungjong was captured and forced to serve for the Soviet Red Army, and then the German Wehrmacht. During this period, the Allies arrived in France, and Yang was captured by the US Army.
