After about 15 repetitions, the players began betting heavily on red, likely believing that such a long streak just couldn鈥檛 continue. The gambler鈥檚 fallacy鈥攖he idea that past events, a streak of black in roulette, for example, can impact the likelihood of a future random event, whether black or red will come up after the next spin鈥攈as long been thought to illustrate human irrationality.

No one really knows how the High Plains got so high. 欧美口爆视频 70 million years ago, eastern 欧美口爆视频, southeastern Wyoming, western Kansas and western Nebraska were near sea level. Since then, the region has risen about 2 kilometers, leading to some head scratching at geology conferences.

The eastern coastline of Mexico鈥檚 Yucatan Peninsula, a mecca for tourists, may have been walloped by a tsunami between 1,500 and 900 years ago, says a new study involving Mexico鈥檚 Centro Ecological Akumal (CEA) and the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder.

Oil and gas operations in the United States produce about 21 billion barrels of wastewater per year. The saltiness of the water and the organic contaminants it contains have traditionally made treatment difficult and expensive. Engineers at the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder have invented a simpler process that can simultaneously remove both salts and organic contaminants from the wastewater, all while producing additional energy.

Living in bigger, denser settlements allowed the inhabitants of ancient cities to be more productive, just as is true for modern urbanites, according to a new study by scientists at the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder and the Santa Fe Institute. As modern cities grow, they obey certain rules. As the population increases, for example, the settled area becomes denser instead of sprawling outward. This allows people to live closer together, use infrastructure more intensively, interact more frequently, and as a result, produce more per person.
