Human Brain Processes Information at Just 10 Bits Per Second, Study Finds
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have quantified how quickly the human brain processes information, revealing a surprisingly slow speed of just 10 bits per second. Despite receiving billions of bits of data from our senses, including sight, hearing, touch, and smell, the brain only processes a tiny fraction of this information. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) conducted the study, publishing their findings in the journal Neuron last week.

"Spectacular Cosmic Event: Black Hole Disrupts Star and Creates Dramatic X-ray Eruptions"
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery involving a massive black hole that is currently disrupting two celestial objects, one of which is a star. Utilizing NASA's observatories, including Chandra, NICER, and Hubble, alongside India’s AstroSat, researchers have gained new insights into the behavior of stellar debris surrounding supermassive black holes. In 2019, astronomers observed a star that ventured too close to a supermassive black hole, resulting in a tidal
