Experts will give you an array of opinions, depending on their area of specialization or what thesis paper they’re writing. There is no single right answer. Political squabbling, weakened borders, a diluted army, disease, economic crises... some even say it was because of lead in the pipes. The fall of the Roman Empire—why it happened, and when exactly—it’s a huge subject. Yet there were people li

Scientists Uncover Unexpected Connection Between Covid and the Common Cold

As annoying as catching a cold may be, there could be a silver lining. New research suggests that it may temporarily protect you from getting covid-19. Researchers revealed that individuals, especially children, who had recently been infected by a rhinovirus—the most frequent culprit behind the common cold—were remarkably less likely to get a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes covid-19, in the following weeks. These results might shed light onto why children have lower chances of devel

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to
