The Future Space-Based Country ‘Asgardia’ to Launch Satellite
I find the actual Asgardia project so exciting. Looking at the image later in this article captioned “space colony as visualized for the space-based nation Asgardia.” It really makes me want to be a part of it, I can only imagine how stunning the visuals would be looking up at “sky” into space and seeing all the beauty we miss … Continue reading
Fantastic Future Mixed Reality Now: Take a Look at This Mind-Bendingly Interactive Room!
This mixed reality room uses a tracking system to keep tabs on someone’s movements as they walk around the space and video projectors that augments the reality. Interaction with the alternate reality objects does not require special glasses or a controller. The cutting-edge technology is currently in its research and development stage, but it already looks incredible! It was developed … Continue reading
Can Animals Predict Earthquakes? Italian Farm Animal Study Looks to Find The Answer
PIEVE TORINA, Italy — After a series of powerful earthquakes struck Italy last year, Martin Wikelski rushed here to test a hunch that has tantalized scientists and thinkers for millenniums: Can animals anticipate natural disasters? A German scientist, Mr. Wikelski tagged several animals on a farm in Pieve Torina in the Marches region of central Italy in October to monitor … Continue reading
A New Planet? Weird Orbits Hint ‘PLANET 10’ Might Lurk At Our Solar System Edge
In the headline pic above: An artist’s impression of Planet Ten Astronomers studying icy objects in a distant region called the Kuiper belt say an unconfirmed planet with similar mass to Mars could be responsible for tugging them out of alignment.. THE dark outer reaches of our solar system could be hiding a new planet – the ninth or tenth, … Continue reading
Scientist Unearth 125 Million Years Old Fossil of Enormous 65ft Tall Dinosaur
Researchers have uncovered the fossils of one of the largest dinosaurs to ever walk on the Earth – remains which they believe could belong to a previously undiscovered species. Paleontologists digging near the city of Morella in eastern Spain discovered the remains of a gigantic dinosaur which would have measured a staggering 20-meters (65 ft) from head to tail. The … Continue reading
Type of Drink Enjoyed By Many Linked To Brain Shrinkage
The drink was linked to shrinkage in the hippocampus, an area critical for memory and other mental functions. Even moderate levels of alcohol consumption are linked to long-term brain damage and declines in mental skills, new research finds. Moderate alcohol intake means around 14 to 21 units per week. The study also found no support for the idea that low … Continue reading
Study Will Attempt to Prove Human Mind Not Made of Matter
Lucien Hardy, a theoretical physicist at the Perimeter Institute in Canada, has proposed a study to measure the effect of the human mind on the laws of physics. In simple terms, he wants to prove that consciousness is not made up of matter. Using a decades old test used to prove that quantum mechanics is much more than just a … Continue reading
NASA Reveals 10 New Worlds We Might One Day Call Home
NASA’s Kepler space telescope team have identified 219 new planet candidates, ten of which could prove to be humanity’s next great hopes of life among the stars. The exoplanets, planets which occupy space outside of our solar system, are all near-Earth size and occupy the habitable zones of their star systems where liquid water, the precursor for life, would pool … Continue reading
Mini ‘Brains’ Used By Plant Seeds To Decide When To Sprout
Plant seeds may use miniature “brains” to help them decide whether to sprout or stay dormant, new research suggests. These seed “brains” don’t have traditional gray matter, but they do use the same architecture for information-processing as our brains do, interpreting a cascade of hormone signals to decide when to germinate, the study found. “Plants are just like humans in … Continue reading
Ravens Are Able to Recognize ‘Unfair Deals’
A new research paper has revealed that ravens and crows can determine whether or not a deal is fair. Members of the corvid family, which include ravens, crows and jays, have long been known to possess a remarkable level of intelligence with the capacity to remember human faces, solve puzzles, navigate complex environments and even hold funerals for their own … Continue reading
