“Hidden Breakthroughs: 69 Scientific Marvels That Shocked Experts but Were Ignored by the World”
Until then cholera and many diseases (‘malaria- mal means bad so bad air) thought to be the cause of air borne smells. Of course a few like TB are droplet carried.
It’s less a specific technology and more a broad sense, but we’ve progressed more in the last 5 years than we did in the 200,000 years it took us to get here. We’ve had fusion reactions! Quantum computers! AI (while I dislike the art aspect) has revolutionized how we interact with information.
Basically, I’m so excited to see what technology will look like in the next 10-50-100 years i can barely contain my excitement! We’ve progressed Bit information so much that in the next few years we will need to discover a whole new way of processing information, because we’ve perfected it already!!!!!
Back in 2016, when the results of the CTE brain analysis on former football players went up in JAMA and showed just how extensive and common these injuries are, it should have caused an uproar. And people were aware of it, to be sure, but it seems like most have chosen to just ignore it and assume it’s someone else’s problem, along with hollow justifications like “they knew what they were getting into” and “they get compensated well enough for that risk.”.
Not a scientist, but the Theory of Inflation, how all matter and energy in the universe was created in the blink of an eye. Small variations at the largest scales are connected to quantum fluctuations at the smallest scales before the expansion. Basically the bang of the Big Bang, and yet nobody seems
To get how fundamental this is.
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but if you grew up in the 70s you heard a LOT about stomach ulcers k**ling people…it was blamed on stress, but one scientist figured out it was a bacteria and tested it on himself.
That guy needs a statue.
Next generation sequencing! This is how we are able to sequence people’s genomes in a few days for a few thousand dollars, while the original human genome project spent about $1 billion to sequence the first human genome. It’s what’s making medicine possible.
Μy husband has a rare autoimmune. He should be dead. He just takes a pill a day. The rare deceases dont take much publicity but they change and save peoples life. Shout out to everyone involved.
Published in late 2024 was a study showing that silicates played a catalytic role in the formation of amino-acids and proto-cells, taking a huge step in validating abiogenesis as the origin of life.
Basically, they redid the Miller-Urey experiment (which already showed simple organic compounds could emerge from inorganic compounds in conditions similar to early Earth), with a difference : in order to avoid external interferences, they coated the container with teflon and put it in a dark room.
