Marriage And Great Science Dont’ Mix
Marriage And Great Science Dont’ Mix
Several years ago, Satoshi Kanazawa, then a psychologist at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, analyzed a biographical database of 280 great scientists–mathematicians, physicists, chemists, and biologists. When he calculated the age of each scientist at the peak of his career–the sample was predominantly male–Kanazawa noted an interesting trend. After a crest during the third decade of life, scientific productivity–as evidenced by major discoveries and publications–fell off dramatically with age. When he looked at the marital history of the sample, he found that the decline in productivity was less severe among men who had never been married. As a group, unmarried scientists continued to achieve well into their late 50s, and their rates of decline were slower.

Chicken and egg debate unscrambled
It’s a question that has baffled scientists, academics and pub bores through the ages: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.

Missing phone delays flight
Missing phone delays flight
Holidaymakers were stranded at an airport for four hours - because a pilot lost his mobile phone in the cockpit.
The passengers were settled in their seats ready for take-off while the captain gave a running commentary on his search.
He scrambled around the floor and finally called for “technical assistance”.
Engineers had to dismantle sections of the cockpit to search under the floor - but still couldn’t find the phone.
After an hour the 189 passengers were asked to collect their belongings and return to the terminal at Doncaster Robin Hood Airport. They finally took off with a different pilot reports The Sun.
Thomsonfly apologised and insisted they had no choice but to delay the plane.
A spokesman said: “The aircraft could not take off until the phone was recovered as it was still switched on. Phones have to be switched off during a flight for safety reasons.”
A passenger said: “We just couldn’t believe our ears. We thought we’d heard every excuse in the book for delays but this one took the biscuit. At least the pilot was honest right from the start.
“He told us over the tannoy that we couldn’t take off until he found his mobile phone. Fifteen minutes later he said he was still looking for it. So we just waited and waited and he kept announcing they were still looking.
“Then he said the engineers had dismantled some of the panels in the cockpit but they still couldn’t find the phone anywhere.”

The developers’s names will have “|PR” next to their name so that you can keep track of who is talking in the following Q&A.
PGT-physician:
A guestimation, how much in a percent (%) of Project Revolution is done?Konstantin|PR:
We don’t have a time estimate for release right now, and we can’t give a percentage. If we say X% now, then in two months people will say “But you said X% two months ago!” and people will start complaining again. Give the small finger and they’ll take the hand …
