"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. [...]"
This quote actually summarises a fundamental misunderstanding the general public has about #science, where they think it is trying to SET the rules of the world, or that scientific knowledge is immutable.
Science, by design, acknowledges the limitations of its current models, and constantly strives to modify its models to fit the observed data. That's actually why science is such a powerful tool.

#science How we produce language reliably is tricky enough, but how do people who are fluent in multiple languages keep them straight? This paper from 2016 compared neural activity in individuals fluent in both a spoken and sign language. The anterior cingulate (ACC) is an area that is very involved in error monitoring, task switching, goal maintenance, and similar processes; and in these tasks, it was specific for whichever language they had to respond in. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2016.00616/full

From megwatzke https://twitter.com/megwatzke on Twitter: What's a pulsar? It's the dense, rotating core left behind after a giant star collapses. This is the Vela pulsar, which rotates faster than a helicopter rotor and shoots out jets about 70% the speed of light that @chandraxray sees. #space #science https://twitter.com/megwatzke/status/1243161851057201153/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64057 -
