An oil rig that experienced an explosive decompression in 1983 that killed four divers and one dive tender, as well as badly injured another dive tender.
The divers were killed by a pressure of 9 atm. The pressure the Oceangate Titan experienced was over 400 atm.
"... Joel Nigg has found that excessively irritable infants are more likely to become children who cannot regulate their anger or impulses when frustrated, while excessively exuberant infants are more likely to become impulsive children. In both cases, the development of effortful control is inhibited. These findings have led Nigg to propose that ADHD is not a disorder of inattention or hyperactivity, but instead a disorder of temperament-based self-regulation"
"An increase of 10 dB reduces productivity by approximately 5%."
I'm surprised it isn't more. As someone who is particularly distracted by noise and interruptions, I usually have some music without lyrics playing in noise cancelling headphones whenever I'm in an open office environment.
The real question is when are companies going to pick up on research like this and make changes to maximize productivity. What do offices at FAANG look like?
"Diet supplementation with ketone bodies (acetoacetate and β‐hydroxybuturate) or medium‐length fatty acids generating ketone bodies has consistently been found to cause modest improvement of mental function in Alzheimer's patients. It was suggested that the therapeutic effect might be more pronounced if treatment was begun at a pre‐clinical stage of the disease instead of well after its manifestation."
The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli (https://www.amazon.com/Order-Time-Carlo-Rovelli/dp/073521610...) is an amazing and eye opening book on the topic of time. Carlo, a theoretical physicist who specializes in quantum gravity, slowly peels back the layers of the conceptual onion to get to some pretty strange fundamental truths about time.
As a side note, the Audible book is read by Benedict Cumberbach and is a delightful listen.
In Blindsight by Peter Watts, there are a group of revived soldiers that serve as mercenaries. Upon dying, they are 'resurrected' and immediately given a choice to go back to being dead -or- pay off the resurrection fee by serving as a zombie soldier for 8-10 years. If they survive their service, they are free to continue living in whatever mangled state their body currently is. They unaware/unconscious while serving, so they won't have any memory of the horrors that they commit or are acted upon them.
It would be strange to return to your life after dying 10 years ago, but I'd probably take the deal.
