On their back, curled up, or on their side. So what does your dog's sleeping position mean?

On their back, curled up, or on their side. The position in which dogs sleep can vary, but each one can reveal something about the animal.

According to the article, the way dogs sleep can give clues about the level of comfort the dog feels at the moment.

The confidence that the animal places in the environment and the people around it can also be reflected in the position adopted during sleep.

Additionally, the dog's body temperature can influence the choice of position in which it falls asleep.

Einstein's "happiest thought" passed the first test in the quantum world

An international team of researchers announced the first successful observation of the effect of gravity on a quantum object in free fall, in a study published in Science Advances. This experimental result demonstrates for the first time, more than a century after Einstein's prediction in 1907, the link between gravity and the quantum world — the physicist's so-called "happiest thought." However, the researchers emphasize that this experiment does not unify quantum mechanics with gravity, nor does it prove that gravity is a quantum phenomenon, but it provides experimental support for the idea that both domains are connected.

How technology is helping archaeology reveal larger and more sophisticated peoples in the Amazon

Recent studies using LiDAR technology have revealed that pre-Columbian civilizations in the Amazon were much more populous and sophisticated than previously thought. A research published in the journal Nature showed that the Aquiry, an ancient civilization in the current state of Acre, may have reached three million inhabitants and built 30 thousand geoglyphs about 2 thousand years ago. Over the past two decades, different studies have revolutionized population estimates for the Amazon, demonstrating that these peoples possessed advanced levels of agriculture and architecture that challenge previous conceptions about the region.
