You both have 2 identical sets of buttons. One is labeled button A and button B. If you both press button A, you both get 5 dollars. But if you press button B, you get 100 dollars. The catch is, if you both press button B, neither of you get money. This is a psychology problem, in which most people will press button B and lose money. Science shows that if you make the difference between button A and B, people will actually work together 90% of the time. This is called the prisoners dilemma because police actually use this to catch teams of criminals by offering less jail time.]]> 2020-12-17 17:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lveronico1/1ppu749mfm4dlxtc/wish/1028758580 iemartinson1 https://padlet.com/lveronico1/1ppu749mfm4dlxtc/wish/1028762899 The article that I read was about retractable claws.

Its fascinating to say that astronomers don't really know where exactly that is. However, from what we can tell, only a portion of the universe is 28 billion light years across. NASA Scientists have been led to believe that the universe is essentially a flat shape, meaning that it has an infinite size that is still continuing to expand. Overall, this tells us that it would be practically impossible to reach the edge of our universe, even with current advancements in technology. ]]> 2020-12-17 17:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lveronico1/1ppu749mfm4dlxtc/wish/1028763796 https://padlet.com/lveronico1/1ppu749mfm4dlxtc/wish/1028765123 The article I read was about What is a ghost ship?

Yasuke stood out in Japan and one Day met  Oda Nobunaga who worked for the Shogun. There, Yasuke learned Japanese quickly and sooner or later became the first person from outside Japan to become a samurai.

This article was about the prisoner's dilemma. It's the choice to either win a lot by bringing down others to get to the top, or acting in self interest to win small/nothing.
