What did Tucker Carlson mean by ‘there’s no evidence for the Theory of Evolution’ and does his comment have merit.

Nanoscale tools are revolutionizing tumor physiology research, enhancing our understanding of cancer biology and treatment.

I spent the last 20 years developing a model of working memory and consciousness. I have laid this out in a series of 25 diagrams illustrating the process and "shape" of thought. Now I am interested in implementing this model within a computer to develop artificial superintelligence.

Natural selection is the idea that organisms that are best suited to survive pass their traits down. Is it true that only the strong survive?

Possessing only essential genes, a minimal cell can reveal mechanisms and processes that are critical for the persistence and stability of life1,2. Here we report on how an engineered minimal cell3,4 contends with the forces of evolution compared with the Mycoplasma mycoides non-minimal cell from which it was synthetically derived. Mutation rates were the highest among all reported bacteria, but were not affected by genome minimization. Genome streamlining was costly, leading to a decrease in fitness of greater than 50%, but this deficit was regained during 2,000 generations of evolution. Desp...
