[Mitosis In Garlic Roots]

The essence of life is not the atoms and small molecules that go into us, it’s the way, the ordering, that those molecules are put together.

- Carl Sagan

Even the sexiest person you have ever met in your life is just a collection of organic compounds rambling around in a sack of water

I struggle to understand why other white people refuse to realise they're racist. You can be at every rally, supporting every cause, it doesn't matter. We were raised to be inherently racist, and the sooner you face up to that the sooner you can actually work on solving the problems. Prejudice is automatic in most of our upbringings, and if you're living your life saying 'oh but I'm not racist', you're never actually gonna get rid of those prejudices.

Why are people so surprised north korea was able to build a weapon of that range. That's literally their main point of funding. Maybe if the USA and Europe stopped underestimating other countries out of their own supremacist values, we wouldn't be in this position

Chameleon colours ‘switched by crystals’:

Swiss researchers have discovered how chameleons accomplish their vivid colour changes: they rearrange the crystals inside specialised skin cells.

It was previously suggested that the reptiles’ famous ability came from gathering or dispersing coloured pigments inside different cells. But the new results put it down to a “selective mirror” made of crystals. They also reveal a second layer of the cells that reflect near-infrared light and might help the animals keep cool. Reptiles make colours in two ways: they have cells full of pigment for warm or dark colours, but brighter blues and whites come from light bouncing off physical elements like these crystals: so-called “structural colours”. These colours can also be mixed. A vibrant green might arise from a structural blue overlaid by yellow pigment.
