The Red Tower of Death in Karlovy Vary, Czechia

The Red Tower of Death (Rudá věž smrti in Czech) acquired its name both from its exposed red-brick architecture and, more symbolically, as a reference to the communist regime and the blood of the political prisoners who perished there. The tower served as a central dry-sorting and crushing plant for uranium ore. It was surrounded by forced labour camp "L" (Vykmanov II), widely considered one of the most dangerous camps in the Jáchymov system. The primary driver of mortality was not merely external radiation exposure, but the inhalation of concentrated radioactive uranium dust and radon gas wit

How your brain’s hemispheres actually work

Neuropsychiatrist Iain McGilchrist has spent over three decades studying how the brain’s two hemispheres shape consciousness, and says almost everything we think we know about them is wrong. The “logical left, creative right” story that took hold in the 1980s and ’90s was never accurate. McGilchrist traces this back to a basic survival problem — how to eat without being eaten — and argues the right hemisphere’s mode of understanding, grounded in context and nuance, gets us closer to reality than the left’s ever can. This video How your brain’s hemispheres actually work is featured on Big Think

Mapping the brain won’t unlock all its secrets. That’s a good thing.

There’s a quote attributed to New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford that goes something like this: “All science is either physics or stamp collecting.” In other words, some scientists perform experiments to explain how things work, while others don’t test specific hypotheses but instead observe the natural world and take note of what they find. The latter may seem inferior, but don’t underestimate the influence of observational science; after all, biology’s greatest stamp collector was probably Charles Darwin, who planted the seeds of his theory of evolution by natural selection in his detai
