XDAILY wants you to understand the world a little better every day. Understanding comes with limits, and we prefer to state them openly.
Education, not advice
Our explainers describe general scientific knowledge. They are not professional advice of any kind, whether medical, engineering, financial, legal or safety-related, and they cannot take your particular situation into account.
The human body
Explainers in our Human Body field describe how organs and systems work in general. They do not diagnose, recommend treatments or replace a consultation with a doctor. If you have symptoms or questions about your health, please seek medical help; in an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Numbers and diagrams
Figures such as distances, temperatures, speeds and percentages are rounded and come from reputable sources at the time of writing. Diagrams are simplified and not to scale unless we say so. For precise values, consult the original source.
Technology and safety
When we explain how devices like batteries, microwave ovens or electrical circuits work, we are not giving repair instructions. Do not open sealed devices, do not work on mains electricity and follow the manufacturer's safety guidance.
Liability
As far as the law allows, we accept no liability for loss or damage resulting from the use of information on this site. Liability that cannot legally be excluded remains unaffected.
