Laziness is a sign of high IQ

15.08.2016

Scientists from the University of Florida said that laziness indicates a high level of IQ (intelligence quotient).

The researchers conducted the experiment among dozens of students. They were asked to fill out a questionnaire, which also asked them to choose one of the options for solving complex problems.

Based on the results, an experimental group of 60 people was selected. Half said they enjoy completing tasks, while the other half thought about the task when necessary. The participants wore fitness bracelets that measured their activity levels for a week.

As a result, it turned out that a group of "thinking" students makes significantly fewer movements.

The researchers concluded that people who do not think much are more likely to get bored, so they have a desire to fill their free time with physical activity.

In addition, laziness is a sign that a person is prone to immersing himself in his own thoughts, and physically active people expend energy, and they simply do not have the strength for all sorts of reflections.

At the same time, scientists emphasize that a high IQ is not an excuse for a sedentary lifestyle.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Vitamin B6 helps you remember dreams better 14.10.2020

Taking vitamin B6 improves the ability to remember dreams.

This conclusion was reached by scientists from the University of Adelaide in Australia, who conducted an experiment involving 100 volunteers.

Thus, study participants took 240 milligrams of vitamin B6 or a placebo at bedtime for five days.

As a result, taking the vitamin did not affect the brightness of dreams or other characteristics of dreams, but after taking B6, participants were more likely to remember their dream.

Researchers are not yet able to explain this effect. Water-soluble vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is one of the eight B vitamins. It is involved in the reaction of 150 enzymes that help the body process proteins, carbohydrates and fats from food, and is also associated with the function of the nervous system and immunity.

B6 is found in foods such as banana, milk, red meat, liver, fish, eggs, cheese, potatoes, spinach, avocados.
