"Music genres have undergone a noticeable simpli?cation": a study concludes that modern music is not complex enough, and it's all your fault

The science behind the fact that music has become less complex is probably more interesting than the fact itself, and it's a shame the team didn't analyse the reasons more. We'd say that the increased use of technology has meant a decreased need for understanding complex music theory, and maybe that has resulted in less complex tunes.

Here's what could happen if asteroid Bennu smashes into Earth in 157 years

An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what would this impact mean for life on Earth?
The article from MSN discusses the potential catastrophic impact of asteroid Bennu, which has a small chance of colliding with Earth on September 24, 2182. Bennu, discovered in 1999, is about 1,610 feet wide and could cause significant destruction if it hits, potentially releasing energy equivalent to 1,200 megatons of TNT, far exceeding the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated. NASA has been actively studying Bennu, with the OSIRIS-REx mission collecting samples to better understand its composition and trajectory. While the odds of an impact are currently estimated at 1 in 2,700, scientists are exploring methods like kinetic impactors or gravity tractors to alter its path if necessary. The article also mentions that Bennu's close approaches to Earth in 2135 will provide more data to refine these predictions.
