Some people can wiggle their ears using ancient musclesShutterstock A “useless” muscle that allows some people to wiggle their ears actually activates when we strain to hear something. Our ape ancestors lost the ability to pivot their ears when they diverged from monkeys millions of years ago, but some of the muscles and brain neurons that underpin this trait remain in humans today. Many scientists have assumed that these so-called auricular muscles are obsolete, even if they do enable ear wiggling. But in 2020, Daniel Strauss at Saarland University in Germany and his colleagues found that they actually become activated…

When Metallica met Marianne: It has a ring to it.But it was still a case of strange bedfellows when the thrash kings combined with British chanteuse Marianne Faithfull for “The Memory Remains,” the lead single off Metallica’s 1997 album Reload.They were worlds apart, literally, and the quartet had no idea such an eyebrow-raising collaboration lay ahead when they began working on the track with producer Bob Rock. “‘Memory Remains’ was a song we goofed with for a while,” James Hetfield — who co-wrote the dark, grinding track with co-founding drummer Lars Ulrich — told this writer when Reload was released. “I didn’t…

Renee Zellweger is one of those celebrities whose appearances always feel like an event. Keeping a relatively low profile, she steps out only occasionally, making each sighting feel like a rare treat. What makes these moments even more special is her impeccable sense of style.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write We Play Games? I’d wanted to write a psychological thriller about a married couple for a while, but I felt like so many plots had already been done. I wanted We Play Games to stand out, which is why I focussed on a toxic marriage where both are equally dark and dangerous. There’s a power play between Effie and Ben. Sometimes she has the upper hand, whereas other times he does. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of We Play Games, what would they…

Scientists say there is a high chance that key Atlantic Ocean currents will weaken over the coming decades due to climate change — but whether they have already slowed is hotly debated. Now, a new study finds that Atlantic circulation has remained stable since the 1960s, suggesting the system may be more resilient to warming than scientists thought.But the results are controversial. Previous studies show mixed results, with some papers concluding that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weaker now than at any point in the past millennium, and others finding little to no evidence for a decline in…

Critic’s Rating: 3.6 / 5.03.6After five years, One Chicago finally came together for an epic crossover event, and it played out like a three-hour, plot-extensive action movie. Was it everything that One Chicago fans hoped for and more? It depends on who you ask and what you expect!

Couture fashion week stands out for its beauty, imagination, and high level of craftsmanship. It’s also a moment in fashion when designers can explore ideas at the highest level and push fashion into what is next and new. In his show notes, Schiaparelli Creative Director Daniel Roseberry reflected on the new: “I’m so tired of everyone constantly equating modernity with simplicity: Can’t the new also be worked, be baroque, be extravagant? Has our fixation on what looks or feels modern become a limitation? Has it cost us our imagination?” he wrote.His exploration of the new led him to take inspiration…

However, this statement was so declarative, and so consternation-inducing for NASA, it bears a bit of explication.First of…
