The first one, a comprehensive review, finds that stingers, horns, and teeth across a broad swath of the planet and animal kingdom share a similar shape largely due to remarkable convergent evolution.
They've come to be in similar shapes because of convergent evolution and not just because it works.
Well, that is convergent evolution.
That's what I'm saying.
Ha ha ha!
Yeah, I think this is totally science.
I mean, imagine asking people to β you have boats and you're like, build something to push into the water so you can move forward.
And I think there'd be a lot of things that look very similar to modern paddle, right?
I mean, I think it makes perfect sense.
Second one, a new technique can simultaneously improve the strength and ductility.
What does that mean?
All right.
So to improve the strength and ductility of titanium alloys is just milliseconds using less than 50% of the energy of heat treating.
Certainly, it seems like a big claim, but okay.
All right.
I don't know about that one.
The last one, researchers have put the final nail in the coffin of Mond by demonstrating stable gravitational force laws at vast intergalactic distance.
All right.
So I'm going to first say, who the hell am I to even comment on this?
Right.
