Mensa 76 is the official branch of American Mensa for Fort Worth, Texas and the surrounding area (almost all parts of Texas with zip codes starting with "76"). Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The ori

ginal aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities. Membership of Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. Today there are members in more than 100 countries around the world. For information in how to join visit https://www.us.mensa.org/join/

"After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of a historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it."

- Marie Skล‚odowska Curie, the first person to be awarded two Nobel Prizes, the 1903 physics prize and 1911 chemistry prize.

Another victim of physics. ๐Ÿคฃ

ETA: Let's do the math. Let's say the average grilled cheese sandwich has a mass of 100 g, which is arguably a low mass for a decent grilled cheese sandwich, but I digress. Taking 1,000 grilled cheese sandwiches, that's a mass of 100,000 g. Convert 1 cubic inch to cubic centimeters and you get 16.387 cmยณ. Compressing 100,000 g into 16.387 cmยฒ results in a density of 6,102 g/cmยณ. For comparison, the core of the Sun has a density of 150โ€“160 g/cmยณ. White dwarfs are small stars by the standards of stars and have a density of 10,000 g/cmยณ on the low end. So 1,000 grilled cheese sandwiches crammed into 1 inยณ approaches the density of a low density white dwarf star, and 1,000 good quality grilled cheese sandwiches crammed into 1 inยณ would have the density of a white dwarf.

How do you run a marathon on Mars? Ask our Perseverance rover!

Perseverance has now traveled 26.2 miles across the Red Planet since it first touched down in Jezero Crater in 2021. For the last five years, the rover has explored the Martian surface for signs of ancient lifeโ€”and it's made some exciting discoveries.

At the world's southernmost reaches, the land is buried under a layer of ice that can reach thousands of meters thick. Whatever lies underneath has lain concealed for millions of years. Decades of radar surveys and other geophysical observations have gradually revealed this mysterious buried world, and researchers have now pieced together evidence for a hidden structure on an extraordinary scale. How did rotational extension shape the East Antarctic Fan-Shaped Basin Province?
