 Women live longer than men It makes no difference whether it is the United States or Latin America. The average life expectancy of women is higher: 81 years versus 76 years for men. 81 years versus 76 years for men. Why is that? It is clear that women live longer than men. There are two biological causes and one social cause. Says Virginia Zarulli, professor at the University of Southern Denmark. Dangerous testosterone The first has to do with differences in sex hormones. Cisgender women produce more estrogen and less testosterone than men. And estrogen protects against cardiovascular disease. This is supported by a 2017 study. Its published in the journal Biology of Sex Differences, is cited by LiveScience. Having a lot of testosterone implies an increased risk of suffering from a number of diseases. For example, breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. The hormone is linked to risky behaviors and higher levels of aggressiveness. It increases the risk of dying at an ear...

 The 'Eye of Sauron' underwater volcano Science usually brings us many joys. From finding vaccines to diseases that could kill us, such as COVID-19, although it is not the first and will not be the last; to the discovery of animals that seem to be taken from movies. Now, a new discovery in the seabed brings us a volcano similar to the Eye of Sauron. Yes, the one that appears in The Lord of the Rings. In addition, Sauron also appears in The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. All are books by J. R. R. Tolkien. The discovery came as a surprise to the team exploring Australia's Indian Ocean territories aboard the CSIRO ocean research vessel RV Investigator. And that's when the underwater volcano in the shape of the Eye of Sauron appeared 280 kilometers off Christmas Island. The discovery was slow because they had to pass a multibeam sonar at 3,100 meters through the area below the ship to see the whole thing. The underwater volcano shaped like the 'Eye of Sauron'. The und...

 Dogecoin creator says cryptocurrencies are a scam Dogecoin co-creator Jackson Palmer doesn't spend much time on social media. After shutting down his YouTube channel and padlocking his Twitter account in mid-2019, this software engineer hadn't opened his mouth on any platform in years; not even when the prices of his crypto meme hit record highs earlier this year. That has been the case until a few hours ago, when Palmer briefly took to Twitter again to make an important reminder: cryptocurrencies are a scam and always have been. "After spending years studying it, I believe cryptocurrencies are an inherently right-wing hypercapitalist technology that has been built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, little regulatory oversight, and artificially imposed scarcity," he tweeted during Wednesday afternoon. Palmer went on to say that while cryptocurrencies' biggest fans often point to them as an equitable alternat...

 Hubble Telescope Captures Collision of Two Galaxies Galaxies represent one of the many fascinating elements that make up the universe. Now, thanks to a recent image, we have been able to see them as we have rarely seen them before. The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning cataclysmic cosmic collision between two interacting galaxies, named IC 1623 by scientists. These are located 275 million light-years away, specifically in the constellation Cetus or the Whale. The two galaxies are in one of the final stages of merger. Consequently, as the scientists specify, in the future they will eventually merge and trigger a burst of star formation. The end result will be a single compact galaxy. After capturing the image, the European Space Agency (ESA) has called this fascinating phenomenon a "clash of the titans".  Scientists first spotted this merger in 2008, thanks to the Hubble Telescope, which was able to observe a violent outflow of gas that, as it was, was considered...

 Scientists identify planet with more water than Earth The space that surrounds us is practically unknown. Scientific advances are gradually answering some of the many questions we have, but they also raise new unknowns. Recently, something unexpected has been discovered: an exoplanet, with characteristics similar to the sun, which contains a large amount of water.  This study has been published in the journal Nature Astronomy . From the astronomical satellite CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) for exoplanet hunting, belonging to the European Space Agency (ESA), an exoplanet has been located of which the researchers assure that there is no "known equivalent". While observing two planets orbiting a star, they suddenly identified a third, making that star the first to have several transiting exoplanets.  The star around which they were orbiting has been labeled Nu2 Lupi and is located 50 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus. Once the researchers identi...
