I am just speculating, but in many diseases like rabies and chickenpox you can give the vaccine after exposure to help the immune system fight the infection. It's because the period between exposure and symptoms is quite long, often mo

I don't know but these fossils are often very fragile and can even collapse under their own weight when unearthed. There is little chance something like this would have survived centuries.

Exactly this. Just google "infrared images of space", it's all false colors but still incredible pictures.

Trying to translate in French, I came up first with "Il eût fallu qu'elle eût été surveillée", but mostly because of morphological similarity (it's almost the same amount of verbs, right?). It's also just a more lit

Well, that's the concept of the CrashCourse channel. This video is actually slow-paced compared for example to their World History series. It's still interesting. After a while you learn to pause the video to let the information s

You also have to take into account the uncertainty in your risk evaluation. The fatality rate is largely unknown so it's a bit deceptive to quote numbers like 0.37% as if it could be measure up to the second decimal. The German study p
