"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.

Romania's trovants: The bulbous 'living' rocks that inspired folkloric tales of dinosaur eggs and aliens

Trovants are rocks that grow by absorbing minerals from rainwater. Romania is home to a cluster of trovants that inspired folklore of dinosaur eggs, plant fossils and alien creations.

The article from MSN discusses Romania's Trovants, which are unique geological formations found in the village of Costești. These bulbous, living rocks are known for their ability to grow and multiply, resembling living organisms. They have inspired various folkloric tales, including stories of them being petrified remains of dinosaurs or even alien eggs. The Trovants are made of a hard stone core with an outer shell of sand, and when exposed to rain, they absorb water which causes them to expand and sometimes even "give birth" to smaller stones. This phenomenon has led to local legends and has attracted tourists and scientists alike, intrigued by their mysterious growth patterns and the natural processes behind them.
