How bird babies can breathe in their eggs Have you ever thought about how birds can breathe inside their hard eggshells? It's all because of some really clever egg-ineering. Bird eggs have tough shells that hold an egg white and a yolk inside. When the egg is fertilized, the baby grows inside the yolk, getting food from it and the egg white around it. When the baby bird has food and a place to stay, you might wonder what else it needs. There is one more important thing that must be present: fresh air. People and other animals get oxygen through their umbilical cords while they…

Some people believe that the eclipse will start a "massive human sacrifice event." The April 8th total solar eclipse is coming up quickly, and some parts of the internet are full of incredible promises.

The Tennessee "Chemtrail" Bill forbids something that doesn't exist. It's common for people who believe in conspiracies to disagree with truth and scientific consensus. Tennessee's new law that makes it illegal to put chemicals into the air is a great example of this disagreement. The bill, which was passed on Monday, aims to stop the purposeful distribution of substances that are said to change the weather or the amount of sunlight within the state's borders. However, it is based on debunked "chemtrail" conspiracy ideas, which has led to arguments and doubt among critics.   The bill's wording is mostly about limiting geoengineering-related activities, but during the…
