New Subatomic Particles Discovered by Large Hadron Collider Team
Five new subatomic particles that had been “hiding in plain sight” have been uncovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Europe’s giant atom-smasher. They were discovered by scientists in charge of the LHCb experiment, also known as “beauty”, which is exploring what happened just after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe. By measuring their properties, physicists hope … Continue reading
Sun Outages Southern Hemisphere: Your TV, Radio and Internet Might Drop Out in the Next Fortnight, Here’s Why

Trump Axes NASA’s Planet-Saving Asteroid-Smasher Program Leaving Earth More Prone to Impacts
AN AMBITIOUS NASA plan to change the course of earth-bound asteroids potentially averting an EXTINCTION LEVEL catastrophe is being scrapped by Donald Trump. Four more space programs, largely collecting and analysing climate data, have also been axed. The controversial Asteroid Redirect Mission was an Obama-era project and would have seen robotic space probes grabbing a block from a speeding asteroid … Continue reading
Our Genetic Code Created by Aliens and they Signed it with the Number 37, Scientists Say
THE answer to the origin life could simply be the number 37 which could prove that our genetic code was created by ancient aliens, according to a new scientific theory. The notion that life on Earth has alien origins is nothing new, but a pair of researchers believe that they have cracked an ancient code which prove that life was … Continue reading
Gene Responsible for ‘Rain Man’ Disorder Identified
For people with agenesis of the corpus callous, the brain lacks the fibres that connect the left and right hemispheres. A gene responsible for mild cases of the brain disorder behind the 1988 hit movie Rain Man has been identified. Kim Peek was the real-life ‘mega-savant’ who inspired the Oscar-winning movie. But aside from his phenomenal ability to memorise books … Continue reading
Quantum Teleportation Achieved, Team Makes Particles QUANTUM JUMP from One Location to Another
TExperts have seen electrons quantum leap between materials, leaving no trace of where they had been. The action has been described as a strange type of quantum movement where the electron traveled from the first layer of a material to the third without appearing in the second. Lead researcher Hui Zhao, from the University of Kansas, said: “Electrons can show … Continue reading
Two Bills Quietly Slipping through Congress Will Allow Big Pharma to Gain Unlimited Power & Zero Accountability
If you’re hurt by a pharmaceutical, you can sue the company that made the drug, and be compensated for your losses, right? Most people assume that is the way the justice system works, but the reality is that it’s difficult, and in many cases impossible, for victims of pharmaceutical companies (and other big corporations/industries) to gain compensation or justice. There … Continue reading
Shape of Human Nose Influenced by Climate: Study
If you are not satisfied with the shape of your nose, blame it on climate, not your parents or grandparents. In a study published this week in the journal PLOS Genetics, researchers from the Pennsylvania State University found that human noses may have been shaped, at least in part, by a long process of adaptation to local climate conditions. Generally, … Continue reading
