The 100-Year Starship Project That Plans to Transport Humans beyond the Solar System
百年星艦計劃準備將人類送到太陽系之外
A dramatic plan to transport humans beyond the solar system within 100 years has recently received the backing of former US President Bill Clinton. The 100-Year Starship project, which was set up with US military seed funding, plans to develop huge starships to send humans far into space. It has already received large amounts of funding, and Clinton has even stepped in to serve as the symposium's honorary chair.
The astronaut who became the first black woman in space in 1992 has been chosen to skipper the 100-Year Starship project. Mae Jemison will lead the project to explore what it would take for a multigenerational mission beyond the solar system. "The 100-Year Starship will make the capability of human travel beyond our solar system to another star a reality over the next 100 years," she said.
一項引人注目的計劃最近獲得了美國前總統比爾．柯林頓的支持，那就是在百年內將人類送到太陽系之外。這項百年星艦計劃是用美軍的種子基金所創立，該計劃要發展大型星艦把人類送往太空深處。該計劃已得到大筆資金贊助，柯林頓甚至出馬擔任該計劃座談會的榮譽主席。
在 1992 年成為首位登上太空的黑人女性航天員已被選為百年星艦計劃的艦長。梅．傑米森將帶領這個計劃團隊去探索一項太陽系之外的任務，這項任務將需要數代人的努力。她說：『在未來 1 百年內，百年星艦計劃會讓人類前往太陽系之外其他星球旅行的夢想成真。』
Love Makes You Eat Healthier
Researchers at Northern Kentucky University set out to see whether people were influenced by reminders of love or sex. To do so, they showed 97 college students one of two food menus. Each one contained a list of common snacks, and the only difference between them was a subtle background image of either hearts or kisses across the page.
Based on a pre-test with participants, the hearts insinuated companionate love. The kisses, on the other hand, evoked thoughts of arousal and relationships that are more about sex.
In the end, reminders of companionate love led to a greater likelihood of making more nutritious eating choices, while the lips symbols didn't cause people to kiss off the unhealthy snacks.
愛讓你吃得更健康
北肯塔基大學的研究人員著手探討人們看到那些令他們想到愛或性的東西時，是否會受其影響。為了完成這項研究，他們將兩種不同菜單的其中一份展示給 97 位大學生看。每一份都包含了許多常見的小點心，唯一不同的是背景跨頁處有隱約的心型或嘴唇圖案。
根據參與者先前做的測試，心型圖案影射伴侶之愛。另一方面來說，親吻喚起人們的激情和偏向以性為主的關係。
最後，能讓你想到伴侶之愛的東西較可能讓人選擇更營養的飲食，而唇形圖案則讓人無法向不健康的小點心說不。
大量研究顯示，如果伴侶中一方患病，另一方患上同樣疾病的風險也會顯著增加，這包括癌症、中風、關節炎、氣喘、憂鬱症和胃潰瘍等等。
當兩人組成家庭並共同生活，他們的生活習慣也會越來越相近。一項針對新婚夫婦的研究發現，人們在婚前的健康習慣會在婚後幾年之間對伴侶造成影響。例如飲食、飲酒和吸菸的習慣，都會潛移默化地改變著另一方。
由此可知，一份長久的親密關係不僅影響我們的情緒健康，也影響著我們的身體健康。而朝夕相處的愛侶，對你影響之深遠勝於任何人或者任何一份媒體報導。（數據源：華夏經緯網）
