๐ Estimates put the Milky Wayโs total mass near 1.5 trillion solar masses, with dark matter likely making up roughly 90% of it. More context in the original post.
๐ฅ A1 or A2? One amino acid in bovine beta-casein has sparked questions about digestion, genetics, and how cattle lineages shaped modern milk choices.

โญ The stars that guided ancient navigators are aging through cosmic epochs. Our Sun transforms across ten billion years, swelling from a G-type main-sequence star to a red giant, forging helium now, and later carbon and oxygen in its core.

โ Think decaf means no caffeine effects? Not quite. Decaf contains 2 to 15 mg of caffeine per cup, and if you are a slow metabolizer, you might still feel it, especially later in the day. Your coffee response hints at how your body processes many other substances too.
โ๏ธ The article in the earlier post explores why one cup tells eight billion different stories.

๐พ Did you know Ethiopian injera gets its signature honeycomb texture from wild fermentation?
Teff grain ferments spontaneously for days as wild yeasts and Lactobacillus bacteria produce carbon dioxide bubbles, creating the spongy flatbread with its distinctive sourness.
