▼ + stars: | 2024-11-18 | by ( Mindy Weisberger | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —A mummified ice age cub from Siberia is the first known mummy of a sabre-toothed cat, and its discovery is generating ripples of excitement among paleontologists. A, B and C reveal views of the mummified Homotherium latidens specimen: A is a thumb claw; B a second digit claw; and С a plantar view. However, the mummy also showed that sabre-toothed cubs differed dramatically from modern lion cubs of a similar age, Lopatin said. Its coat was darker, and its ears were smaller than those of lion cubs; it had longer forelimbs, a larger mouth opening and a more massive neck. Its paw is also more circular than that of a lion cub; in fact, its shape more closely resembles the paw of a bear, Tseng added.

It all started with foam teaInvented in the 1980s, bubble tea (also called “black pearl tea” or “boba tea”) is a beloved Taiwan classic. Lin Hsiu Hui, product manager at bubble tea chain Chun Shui Tang, said she created the very first glass of bubble milk tea at a staff meeting in 1988. Bubble tea chain Easy Way argued in a press conference, “Why don’t you ask people to skip drinking Coke instead?”The saga was dubbed the “bubble tea for arms” incident by local media. Bubble tea 2.0Bubbleology founder Assad Khan says his first bubble tea experience was 'love at first sip.'

☆ Netflix's hit sci-fi series '3 Body Problem' is based on a real math problem that is so complex it's impossible to solve

AdvertisementWhile Netflix's "3 Body Problem" is a science-fiction show, its name comes from a real math problem that's puzzled scientists since the late 1600s. In physics, the three-body problem refers to the motion of three bodies trapped in each other's gravitational grip — like a three-star system. The three-body problem is over 300 years oldThe three-body problem dates back to Isaac Newton, who published his "Principia" in 1687. Can you solve the three-body problem? Though the three-body problem is considered mathematically unsolvable, there are solutions to specific scenarios.

Similarly, it's hard to tell how "3 Body Problem" will pan out even from its first season, which by the end still feels like it's only barely gotten started. Netflix"3 Body Problem" is based on Chinese author Liu Cixin's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy. The modern-day storyline is less compelling — at least so farJin Cheng (Jess Hong) and Jack Rooney (John Bradley) in "3 Body Problem." "3 Body Problem" has a "Contact"-like bent, in that it attempts to use science and extraterrestrial life to interrogate the idea of God itself.

LONDON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - China on Thursday accused a committee of British lawmakers visiting Taiwan of "gross interference" in China's internal affairs and threatened a forceful response to anything that undermines Chinese interests. The Chinese embassy in Britain issued a statement responding to the ongoing visit to Taiwan by British parliament's Foreign Affairs committee, calling it a "flagrant violation" of the one-China principle. China claims the self-ruled, democratic island of Taiwan as its own territory, part of its "one China" policy.
