Researchers have identified more than 300 genes associated with specific facial features, though their effects are generally small. Some genes are very sensitive to SOX9, dialing facial variation toward or away from PRS-like facial features. This could mean that the genetics of faces may be more complex than they seem.

Earth's mass is 5.97221024 kilograms, or around 13.1 septillion pounds. This equates to around 13 quadrillion of Egypt's pyramid of Khafre, which itself weighs around 10 billion pounds (4.8 billion kilograms) Scientists have since used G to calculate Earth's mass using other objects of known mass.

The Earth’s speeding rotation is threatening to mess with time, clocks and computers in an unprecedented way. For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider resetting our clocks because the planet is rotating faster than it used to. Yet a new study suggests that climate change is slowing it down – pushing back the point at which the world's atomic clocks will have to skip back for what scientists call a “negative leap second”.

In the sea, some fish are diving deeper, and in the northern hemisphere some fish flee toward the North Pole. The faster the population shifted poleward, the faster it declined, the team found. This is a major knowledge gap that may hopefully shrink over time.
