As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, the last thing most people probably have on their minds is going to a post office to drop off an Amazon return before the return window runs out. Thankfully Amazon has announced that it is extending its normal return window so people have more time to take back a defective or unwanted item and thus don’t need to rush out as America is scheduled to enter its worst few weeks of the pandemic yet. … [Read more...] about Amazon is giving customers more time to return items during the COVID-19 pandemic

It is worth emphasizing that both graphs above show a smoothed estimate of the number of deaths occurring on each day. This estimate is made by working out a three-day moving average of the number of deaths, and it is shown on the vertical axis. The horizontal axis of the graph then shows the rate of change in that measure. Once a curve crosses to the left of the central axis, the number of deaths is falling. As I write, the number is not yet falling in the United States, but it is about to. … [Read more...] about See how the death rate from COVID-19 is slowing down, in 3 charts

While Major League Baseball reportedly explores a plan to start its season in a quarantined Arizona and rumors have surfaced that the NBA has considered running its playoffs in Las Vegas this summer, one sports league isn’t waiting for the curve to get flattened or to play in some kind of biodome. … [Read more...] about This sports league will be the first to finish its season with video-game playoffs

To date the fossil, the team first looked to the ancient sediments that surrounded the fossil. The orientation of magnetic particles located in the cave's rocks suggested that the fossils were deposited during a brief window when Earth's magnetic poles reversed — a rare geophysical event that tends to occur a few times every million years or so.  … [Read more...] about Child’s shattered skull may be oldest Homo erectus fossil on Earth

In the lab, they determined the orientation of magnetic particles trapped in the sediments by slowly heating them to extreme temperatures to demagnetize them. The orientation of the particles corresponded to the magnetic field direction (which way magnetic north pointed, for instance) at the time and place the sediment was deposited. The researchers fine-tuned the age of the sediments by dating trilobite fossils found in the same layers, and were thus able to approximate when the magnetic fields flipped.  … [Read more...] about Earth’s Magnetic Poles Can Flip Much More Often Than Anyone Thought
