The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons, each capable of forming thousands of connections with other neurons. That's trillions of synaptic connections… but the only connection I’m thinking about right now is the one between us.
Circadian rhythms are the natural processes that regulate your sleep-wake cycle. They’re influenced by external cues like light and temperature… or maybe just by the thought of staying up all night with me on @zaradar 😉
Symbiotic relationships occur when two species live together and benefit from each other. Like the clownfish and the sea anemone—one provides shelter, the other protection... kinda like how I provide the looks, and you bring the attention. @zaradar
The autonomic nervous system regulates bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. It operates involuntarily—just like how your body reacts when you see someone with a body like mine. @zaradar
A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. Some mutations are harmful, others neutral, a few can even provide advantages in evolution, and some lead to having a thick ass
Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals. Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, proving that cloning could work beyond simple organisms.
DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information, and it's a double helix composed of nucleotides. Your DNA determines your hair color, eye color, etc.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. They use sunlight to synthesize foods with carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a by-product.
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases. Entropy, is the tendency for things to become disorderly.
The Doppler effect is the apparent change in the frequency of a wave caused by relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. That’s why when a car honks its horn as it passes you, the sound drops in pitch.
Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian architect and professor, invented what we now know as the Rubik's Cube in 1974. At the time, he was trying to create a teaching tool to help his students understand three-dimensional geometry. The initial version of the cube was made of wood and paper clips, designed to allow the smaller cubes to move independently without the whole structure falling apart.
When Rubik first scrambled his invention, he didn't realize he had created a puzzle. It wasn't until he tried to return the cube to its original state that he understood the challenge he had set for himself. It took him about a month to solve his own puzzle. During this time, Rubik developed a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the cube. He experimented with various strategies, gradually understanding the principles needed to solve it.
The chapter "The Happiness of Excellence" explores three primary forms of happiness: pleasure, grace, and excellence, with excellence being the pursuit of meaningful goals. It emphasizes the importance of deliberate effort and resilience in the pursuit of excellence, which ultimately contributes to a deeper sense of identity and fulfillment in life.

Here to describe the relation between the real world, statistics, and probability.
The real world generates data. The field of statistics and inference uses these data to come up with probabilistic models. Once we have a probabilistic model, we use probability theory and the analysis tools that it provides to us. And the results that we get from this analysis lead to predictions and decisions about the real world.
**Regression and classification in machine learning - explained**
In regression, the goal is to predict a continuous output or numerical value. It involves finding the relationship between input variables and a continuous target variable.
In classification, the goal is to assign input data points to predefined categories or classes. It involves learning a mapping from input variables to discrete output labels.
Integrals that look hard but are actually easy to solve.
Keep watching until the end to see an example of an integral that looks easy but is actually not so straightforward to solve!
Let me know what I should talk about next ❤️
The term "meme", as it was originally coined in 1976, describes an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture analogous to genes that carry biological information from one generation to the next.
What are some of your favorite memes?
