Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has set a new internet speed record, reaching a jaw-dropping 402 terabits per second (Tbps) using standard, commercially available optical fiber.

By combining six types of doped-fiber amplifiers with both discrete and distributed Raman amplification, researchers were able to tap into an ultra-wide 37.6 terahertz optical bandwidth. That’s over 1,000 times faster than most home internet setups. The team unveiled the achievement at the 47th International Conference on Optical Fiber Communications in San Diego—pushing the limits of what’s possible in data transmission.

A 1992 study published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization took a closer look at how height and weight might influence lifespan. Researchers analyzed data from 373 deceased men at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Diego, and what they found challenges a lot of common assumptions.

Men who were 175.3 cm (5’9”) or shorter lived, on average, nearly five years longer than those above that height. And those standing 170.2 cm (5’7”) or under outlived men who were at least 182.9 cm (6’0”) by more than seven years. Weight showed a similar trend. Men weighing 63.6 kg (140 lbs) or less lived almost eight years longer, on average, than those who weighed 90.9 kg (200 lbs) or more.

The results align with the entropy theory of aging, which proposes that larger body mass may speed up aging because of the extra energy needed to sustain it. So while height and size are often linked with strength and health, this study suggests that being smaller and lighter might actually be tied to a longer life.
