A meta-analysis that considered 63 studies reveals an interesting relationship between intelligence and religiosity. In simple terms, smarter individuals tend to be less religious. This trend is particularly strong among college students and the general population. It also appears that intelligence is more associated with what one believes rather than how one practices their faith... Read More

In Austria, it is arranged such that adult men, provided they are classified as medically fit, have the choice between a six-month military service or a nine-month service in the healthcare sector. Since medicine and health topics have always fascinated me, and I wanted to learn something meaningful during these months, I chose healthcare service in emergency medical service. In this blog post, I want to share with you how the emergency medical service operates in Austria, or at least how it was for me... Read More

Hey everyone, have you heard of the Body Worlds exhibition? These exhibitions showcase the human body in a way you won't find anywhere else. I had the chance to visit one of these exhibitions at the Natural History Museum in Vienna when I was 8 years old. This year, the exhibition returned to Vienna, and I went again—this time with my girlfriend by my side... Read More

The much-anticipated apocalypse of 2012 – unsurprisingly – didn’t happen. Some people looked to December 21, 2012, as the end of the world due to a particular interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar. But instead of catastrophe, we got... nothing. So why do people keep believing this kind of nonsense? Let’s take a closer look... Read More

Sugar is a topic that is often discussed, and I’ve just published a new article that delves into the facts surrounding sugar. Clearly, sugar is ubiquitous in today’s diet and is often added in excessive amounts, but there are also many myths and misunderstandings about how it affects our bodies. Sugar is frequently blamed for a range of health problems, but as with most things in life, it’s rarely just one factor that causes issues... Read More

Although it is often taken for granted in everyday life, the nature of time is complex and has occupied scientists for generations. Let’s take a closer look at the theories that have developed over time (pun intended)... Read More

Many natural constants and physical laws seem to be finely tuned to allow for the emergence of life. If even one of these constants were slightly different, there might be no stars, planets, or complex structures like us. Since we are here and observing the universe, the conditions must be such that we can exist. If the universe were different, we couldn't be here to ponder it. This is the core message of the anthropic principle... Read More

Hey everyone, today I have another fitness update for you. Since early 2009, I’ve been training intensely in weightlifting three to four times a week, and occasionally I do a few light cardio sessions. Want to know what motivated me to sign up for the gym back then? My mom took a photo of me in the garden while I was playing with the dog, shirtless.
