The exact origins of the cotton plant are unknown. Although archeologists have unearthed pieces of cotton cloth over 7,000 years old. Through the centuries, cotton fiber was traditionally processed by hand. Until the early 18th century, when the first automated processing machine was invented.  Before cotton arrives at the textile mill to be spun into thread and woven into fabric, it makes the journey from field to bale. Cotton takes about five months to grow from a planted seed to a ripe plant.  This harvesting machine, called a cotton picker plucks fluffy seed cotton out of the plant's boll, leaving a trail of burrs and sticks behind. The machine empties the plucked cotton into a tractor - drawn buggy. This machine build the seed cotton into a humongous rectangular block called a module. A truck transports the module to the processing plant, known as a cotton gin. Once the cotton arrives to the processing plant, sticks and burrs are removed, as well as any linge...

IS IT SAFE TO EAT MOLDY BREAD? With cheese, definitely yes!. No. The mold on our bread is a fungus. The green visible parts on the bread are just spores of the fungus. Its invisible branches called hyphae actually spread deep into the bread, creating an extensive networks. Now, as fungi don't have chlorophyll, they cannot prepare their own food. Hence, they rely on other sources. Bread is one of their best options, because it contains nutrients as well as moisture. Now it is neither recommended to eat moldy bread, nor it is safe to scrap off the mold and eat the rest. Why? Because some molds can produce mycotoxins that can be harmful for humans. Also, as bread is a soft food, the hyphae can easily penetrate deeper. Making scrapping or cutting worthless. TOPIC: RANCIDITY. Why is a bag of chips half full? Looks like you don't believe me.

WHY DO WE BLINK? To look adorable and innocent. No. An average person blinks about 10 to 20 times per minute. Blinking helps spread water, oil, mucus, etc across our eyes and wipe out dust. However, this is not the only purpose of blinking. Experts noticed that the exact moments when we blink are not random. While reading, we tend to blink at the end of sentences. While listening, we blink when speaker takes pauses. Hence, using f-MRI scanners, experts observed the brains of some individuals.  The analysis showed that while blinking mental activity dipped in areas which control attention. While the activity spiked areas called Default Mode Network. This network operates when mind is in a state of wakeful rest. Based on these observations, experts hypothesize that blinking acts as a tiny mental break. Thus allowing us to pay more attention when we open our eyes again. WHAT IS THE BIG BANG THEORY? Many of us wonder how everything, that is humans, trees, planets, star...
