    Left and Right Wing Brains?

    I will never understand how individuals can show blind faith in Trump and how this individual has a chance of winning the election which would have been impossible a decade ago given his record for inappropriate behaviour. There may be a biological reason for this. PopSci article:- Political...

    Antipodal Hotspot Impact Hypothesis explaining Permian Mass Extinction.

    This is a hypothesis and probably fits more into the ‘Non-Mainstream Science and Controversial Science’ forum but given some of the outrageous threads there this is far more mainstream like by comparison.

    To the science haters out there this is not a thread for you.

    Professional scientists have relied on the average person in the street who have an interest in science but are not qualified to participate in research activities.
