‘It is hijacking my brain’ – a team of experts found ways to help young people addicted to social media to cut the craving

Many people have compared the addictive nature of social media to cigarettes. Checking your likes, they say, is the new smoke break. Others say the unease over social media is just the next round of moral panic about new technologies. We are a pair of researchers who investigate how social media affects the mental health of young people. More than 75% of teens check their phone hourly, and half say they feel like they’re addicted to their devices. Here are some of the things they’ve told us: “TikTok has me in a chokehold.” “I would 1,000% say I am addicted.” “I feel completely aware that it is hijacking my brain, but I can’t put it down. This leaves me feeling ashamed.” Maybe you’ve had similar feelings yourself, no matter your age. Although it’s true social technologies offer clear benefits – unlike smoking – many people still feel uncomfortable with how much time they spend online and often wonder if they’re addicted. Years of investigation have led our te...

Scientists discover possible connection between human brain and cosmos on a quantum scale

The human brain, with its intricate networks of neurons, has long been a subject of fascination and mystery. Concurrently, the cosmos, with its vastness and complexity, has intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. Recent research has begun to explore the possibility that the brain and the cosmos might be connected on a quantum scale . This article will delve into the research paper titled “Quantum transport in fractal networks” and discuss its implications for our understanding of the relationship between the brain and the cosmos . Quantum Transport in Fractal Networks: The Research The research paper “Quantum transport in fractal networks” explores the possibility that the brain and the cosmos are connected through fractal networks. Fractals are self-replicating patterns that can be found in various scales, both in nature and the universe. This study investigates the quantum transport properties of fractals, specifically focusin...
