Is Aging a Disease?
Is Aging a Disease?The addition of “ageing-related” to the World Health Organization’s standard diagnostic tool signals a move toward developing therapies that directly target the aging process. Here, experts break down what it means and why it matters. Illustration by Zoe van Dijk With age comes wisdom — and the burden of tremendous health challenges. Aging impacts sensory, motor, and cognitive function, lowering the overall quality of life. So much so that many scientists now say that the leading risk factor for multiple chronic diseases is age.

Big Brains
from *Origin Story* by David Christian. Humans have big brains: "Primates are exceptionally brainy. Their brains are unusually large relative to their bodies, and the top front layer of the brain, the neocortex, is gigantic. In most mammal species, the cortex accounts for between 10 percent and 40 percent of brain size. In primates, it accounts for more than 50 percent, and in humans for as much as 80 percent. Humans are exceptional for the sheer number of their cortical neurons. They have about fifteen billion, or more than twice as many as chimpanzees (with about six billion). ... mais »

Until now, the closest we’ve come to directly sighting a black hole is by observing the effects they have on objects around them — causing stars to orbit at the center of our galaxy, spewing out powerful jets, and devouring interstellar matter during accretion.
