How do you think advances in science will shape our understanding of what it means to be human?

The outskirts of what it means to be human are wrangled about in philosophy and fiction (especially science fiction). Science is fundamentally pushing towards the notion that humans are less inherently unique in cognition than we might prefer. That is, our differences from other intelligent species are a matter of degree rather than a difference in kind. So, as our own comparative domain narrows, we have humans themselves expanding as our understanding of neurodiversity increases. Should we ever develop general artifical intelligence (which we are not particularly close to), that will add another wrinkle. What if it declares itself human? What if it says definitively that it is not?

Moon Dressed Like Saturn 🌕🪐
Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't, what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight, known as Da Vinci glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar... read more

Meteors and Aurora over Germany 💫✨️
This was an unusual night. For one thing, the night sky aurora of August 11 and 12, earlier this month, occurred near the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. Therefore, meteors streaked across the dark night as small bits cast off from Comet Swift-Tuttle came crashing into the Earth's... read more

Supermoon Beyond the Temple of Poseidon 🌕
A supermoon occurred on August 19th. Supermoons appear slightly larger and brighter than most full moons because they reach their full phase when slightly nearer to the Earth, closer than 90 percent of all full moons. This supermoon was also a blue moon given the definition that it is the third of... read more

"अजी! शायर थोड़ी हूं!" 📌🌙
एहसासों का तमाशा बना पाना भी कमाल है, वरना तो नज्मों पर तालियां बजना ही हवाओं में दर्द का फरमान है। जो मैं शायर होता, तो तुझे भी शायरी लिखता। कुछ कह पाता अगर, तो तुझे कहानी लिखता। अगर रोक ही पता, तो तुझे मुस्कान लिखता। जो तुझे जी पाता, तो जिंदगी लिखता। तेरा न होना दर्द है। ये मुस्कान दर्द है,...

Ketone-> alcohol
So in this experiment, I was making an alcohol (well, it isn’t edible so it’s not save for human consumption). So in this process, the product is a pure alcohol with only few percent of impurities. The alcohol obtained was white powdery crystal.
