Black Holes: A Galactic Feature Science Is Still Yet To Understand!!!

We are happy to feature physics on STEMsocial today, with this comprehensive post from @mengene on the fascinating entities called black holes. Those are among the most intriguing objects in the universe, and all details you may want to understand are presented in the post. Feel free to have a look!

The science of Color Blindness and its Diagnosis

Colour blindness is much more common than what we could naively think off. @idoctor addresses the topic in its greatest details, describing the different versions of it and the mechanics behind this disease. In addition, you can also self-test yourself in the post. Interested? Please follow the links...
