Interstellar Visitor Oumuamua Has an Organic Coating, Scientists Reveal
A cigar-shaped rock zooming through our Solar System — the first object from a foreign star system ever spotted in our midst — is cloaked in a coat of organic material, astronomers said Monday. Dubbed Oumuamua, Hawaiian for “messenger” or “scout”, the object was first viewed by telescopes in October. Given its weird trajectory, surprised scientists immediately concluded it was … Continue reading
Within 20 Years Man & Machine Will be Melded into One, Says IBM Expert
A senior IBM inventor has predicted that within 20 years humans will be injected with nanomachines that will be able to repair and enhance our bodies and augment our thoughts. In a submission to the Artificial Intelligence Committee of the UK’s House of Lords, John McNamara, who works at IBM’s Hursley Innovation Centre, said that the tiny robots will have … Continue reading
Your Conscious Reality is a Hallucination by Your Brain
Wrap your noodles around this one, it is about 17mins long and worth every minute of your time in my humble opinion, please do watch it and feel free to comment if you want. Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience — and not just any conscious experience, your experience of … Continue reading
‘Potentially Hazardous’ Asteroid 3200 Phaethon to Make ‘Close’ Earth Pass Tomorrow
Just days after the Geminid meteor shower, the asteroid from which it comes, 3200 Phaethon, will pass close to Earth. What is it? Asteroid 3200 Phaethon, discovered in 1983, is named for its close proximity. Phaethon was a Greek mythology figure who almost burned Earth because he drove a chariot of fire too close. The asteroid is best known for being … Continue reading
So Far No Alien ‘Signals’ Detected on Strange Interstellar Asteroid Oumuamua
I’m sure everyone wants to know if there has been any update as to whether the scanning of space object named Oumuamua has turned up anything. It seems for the time being there is nothing but they are still continuing to scan as the object continues to head out of our solar system. I had a couple of thoughts pertaining … Continue reading
Planetary Collisions In Earth’s Distant Past Left Large Amounts of the Minerals Present Today
A new study by NASA scientists has led them to believe “planetary collisions are at the core of our solar system’s formation.” According to NASA, scientists have long believed that after the moon’s formation, Earth experienced an extended period of bombardment some 3.8 billion years ago, called ‘late accretion’. During this period, Earth was barraged with moon-sized planetary bodies, also … Continue reading

In the above headline image, you can see the newly discovered planets and star compared to our solar system below it For the first time, eight planets have been found orbiting a distant star, Kepler-90, 2,545 light-years from Earth in the Draco constellation, NASA announced Thursday. It is the first star known to support as many planets as are orbiting … Continue reading
Top Ways to Avoid Cancer Named by Scientist
A new study by the American Cancer Society has found that 40% of all cancer cases are associated with bad habits and poor lifestyle choices, and are thus preventable. The research, published in CA: Cancer Journal for Clinicians under lead author Dr. Farhad Islami, finds, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the highest risk of cancer, in the United States at least, is … Continue reading
Study Indicates We Might All be ‘ET’, Reveals Potential Extraterrestrial Origins of Life
More and more scientific evidence is leaning toward the possibility that human and perhaps all life on Earth originated from outside of our planet. It is a very intriguing possibility and would add even more mystery to our already mysterious existence. Via RT: The prehistoric origins of life on Earth may have begun in space, a new study published in … Continue reading
Can Humans Keep the Upper Hand on AI?
In artificial intelligence (AI), machines carry out specific actions, observe the outcome, adapt their behavior accordingly, observe the new outcome, adapt their behavior once again, and so on, learning from this iterative process. But could this process spin out of control? Possibly. “AI will always seek to avoid human intervention and create a situation where it can’t be stopped,” says … Continue reading
