Digitalization, as we know it today, has become an inseparable part of our daily lives. Many people like to say that everything was better in the past, but when it comes to digitalization, I'd say things are only getting better. I'm definitely glad to have grown up as a digital native and to have witnessed its development, especially when it comes to the internet, right from the start. Let's rewind back to the beginning...

Off to vacation! But which is safer: Flying or driving? Let's take a look at the micromort values and the answer becomes clear.

But what exactly are micromorts? Let's take a look... Read More

Capital punishment, more commonly known as the death penalty, is still accepted in some countries and is considered “just” for crimes such as murder and terrorism.

A meta-analysis that considered 63 studies reveals an interesting relationship between intelligence and religiosity. In simple terms, smarter people 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 people believe rather than how they practice 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 with my parents. 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

And yet, you still can't switch off. Since many people feel this way and I often find myself at my limit as well, I'm now writing an article on stress reduction... Read More

Time is a fundamental dimension of our universe that allows us to measure the duration or interval between events. 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
