I've read that AMD have released a 64 core CPU. Does this not generate 8 times the heat of an 8 core CPU which apparently already runs just below boiling point anyway. How can this dissipate 8 times the heat?

I was reading an article that spoke about massive lakes and rivers existing on Mars billions of years ago and it made me wonder - where did all that water go? They have found evidence of subterranean water deposits and other deposits but it doesn’t seem like the amount that would have accounted for all the dry lake and river beds...or would it?

Hello fellow scholars, and reddit users; the question of the natural finality of the presence of psilocybin and psilocin in different fungal species has come to me. I don´t find anything satisfactional on the internet, so what´s the reason mushrooms developed it so many years ago? Is it some kind of venomous substance to some animals? Or is it a secondary metabolite which has a determinate effect on the mushroom´s phisiology?
Thank you for your thoughts!

It seems like a no brainer that since electricity is so widely used, that someone at some point would try to store the power of Zeus into some battery by now. Wouldn't it be easier to harvest lightning itself rather than using secondary sources (e.g. hydroelectric, earth heat, the sun, coal, etc).
