Be shocked by the Friends series

Photo source: thesun.co.uk

Friends, the hit series of the nineties, has recently re-appeared on Netflix. But it seems that the series does not really catch on among young people. They call the series sexist and homophobic. Whoever was young in the nineties, watched Friends. Many have seen every episode of the series several times that ran until 2004. It is therefore not surprising that Netflix included the series in its assortment. But times have clearly changed. Young people feel uncomfortable with different scenes in the series. For example, they do not like Chandler paranoid reacting when he is seen as gay or making jokes about his father who is a transvestite. They also find it sexist that Ross can not stand the nanny who Rachel hires for their daughter Emma is a man. Ross even asks if the man is gay. The jokes about the overweight that Monica once had are also not in good shape, for example when Joey calls out: "Someone has eaten Monica." Furthermore, there is the episode in which Rachel hires an assistant not because of his qualities, but because she wants to date with him. In this time she would be fired, find millennials. There would also be too little diversity in the series. There are only two dark characters: Dr. Charlie Wheeler and Julia, the girlfriend of Ross. They are jokes that are no longer possible today, the viewers think. Do they have a point or do they react hypersensitive?

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
