Skull Discovered in China Could Re-write Our Understanding of the Theory of Human Evolution
A skull found in China could re-write our entire understanding of human evolution. That’s according to scientists who have examined the important, ancient head and say that it proves the existing theory of how humans came to be is wrong. Most anthropologists believe that our species came about in Africa around 200,000 years ago – and that one group left … Continue reading
This Virtual Reality Machine Blows Your Mind Without You Taking Psychedelic Drugs
VR tech had to branch out into the world of psychedelics sooner or later. A hallucination machine developed by a British university makes it possible to trip out without taking illegal drugs. Instead of experimenting with LSD and magic mushrooms, researchers at Sussex University’s Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science have chosen a safer option that puts out more reliable data … Continue reading
Groundbreaking Smell Diagnostics: Breath Tests Could Detect up to 17 Diseases
Smell may be the key to a future of more accurate, cheaper, non-invasive diagnostics tests for everything from malaria to cancer to Parkinson’s disease. Scientists in Israel are working on a breath test that they say can detect as many as 17 diseases. Meanwhile, a US-based team is testing their device for identifying the breath signature of malaria in Malawi … Continue reading
NASA Expert Says We Will Find Alien Life Within 20 Years
Alien life could be found within the next few decades, according to NASA scientists leading the exhaustive search. In recent years, capabilities have snowballed; the discovery of Pluto in 1930 was once thought a once-in-a-lifetime feat, yet not even 100 years later, over 3,500 exoplanets from thousands of star systems have since been located. Experts say the search is heavily … Continue reading
World’s First ‘Living’ Human Head Transplant ‘Imminent’ – Italian Surgeon
A controversial Italian doctor announced Friday that the world’s first human head transplant was “imminent” and that it would take place in China because his efforts to get backing for the project were ignored by the medical communities in the U.S. and Europe. “The Americans did not understand,” Sergio Canavero said in a press conference in Vienna, Austria, as he … Continue reading
Interstellar Message Was Sent to Nearby System by Alien Hunters
Is someone out there listening ? If there are any intelligent aliens in the GJ 273 system, they can expect to hear from us about a dozen years from now. Last month, scientists and artists beamed a message to GJ 273, a red dwarf also known as Luyten’s star that lies 12.36 light-years from Earth, project team members revealed today … Continue reading
Computer Simulation Strengthens Case for the Presence of a Second Sun
Astronomer from Quebec Gilles Couture conducted a study using computer simulation. Because of this he was able to prove that early in the Solar system, stars, there was a “duet”. But one of them left our galaxy and flew in the space provided, leaving the Sun in splendid isolation. According to the study, conducted by the astronomer, the weight of the mysterious … Continue reading
Stephen Hawking Says Humanity May Have Less Than 600 Years to Leave Earth or Face Extinction
If humanity doesn’t become a truly spacefaring species in the next five centuries or so, we may well go extinct, Stephen Hawking said, according to media reports. During a video presentation Sunday (Nov. 5) at the Tencent Web Summit in Beijing, the famed cosmologist warned that the ever-rising human population, and its mounting energy needs, could render Earth uninhabitable by … Continue reading
Planet with Similar Temperature to Earth Discovered Nearby – Could Host Life
Astronomers have discovered a world 11 light-years away that may have a surface temperature similar to Earth’s. The planet, Ross 128 b, is Earth-sized and is now the second-closest to Earth in temperature. The closest is Proxima b, located around Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years from Earth. Both planets orbit red dwarf stars, but what makes this new one somewhat more … Continue reading
Quark Fusion Can Create More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion in Stars
New research suggests that quarks – the very basic building blocks of matter that make up protons and neutrons – can be fused to produce a massive amount of energy that is more powerful than nuclear fusion. Quarks are elementary particles that combine to form hadrons — composite particles held together by strong forces, like protons and neutrons — and … Continue reading
