Scientists to Start Sending Messages to Aliens Despite Objections
While humans have been unwittingly sending signals into space since the invention of radio and intentionally including messages on space probes like Pioneer 10 and 11, METI will be the first effort to concentrate a steady stream of messages at one location in space over a long period. Stephen Hawking may fear the idea, but Seth Shostak, senior astronomer with … Continue reading
Cheetahs, the World’s Fastest Land Animal, Heading for Extinction, Experts Warn
We must think bigger … If we are to avert the otherwise certain loss of the cheetah forever’ Urgent action is needed to stop the cheetah, the world’s fastest land animal, from becoming extinct, experts have warned. Scientists estimate that just 7,100 of the fleet-footed cats remain in the wild, occupying just nine per cent of the territory they once … Continue reading
Are We in a BLACK HOLE? Astonishing Claims Entities Could be Portals to Other Universes
OUR UNIVERSE may be inside a black hole which may even contain OTHER universes, scientists have claimed. While many accept the Big Bang theory as gospel, a group of physicists are challenging the norm and claim the maths of it does not quite add up. Black holes are a complete mystery to scientists, but some are arguing each black hole … Continue reading
Turns Out, Mouthwash Kills Gonorrhoea Bacteria
But don’t even think about using it down there. Nearly 140 years after Listerine first made the claim that its product can kill the bacteria that cause gonorrhoea, new research has finally backed that up with independent tests. That might not sound too surprising, seeing as mouthwash is supposed to kill bacteria, but according to the study’s authors, no one … Continue reading
Physicists Have Observed the Light Spectrum of Antimatter for First Time
After two decades of trying, physicists at CERN have reported the first ever measurement of the light emitted by an antimatter atom, revealing that antihydrogen is the exact mirror image of regular hydrogen. The result, which finally confirms what has long been predicted by the laws of physics, opens up a new way of testing Einstein’s special theory of relativity, … Continue reading
Could We Build a Real-Life Death Star?
One of the most infamous weapons in science-fiction movie history is the Death Star, a moon-size planet destroyer from the “Star Wars” universe. In the upcoming movie “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” a band of renegades tries to steal the plans for the Death Star from the evil Empire, in order to ultimately destroy the spherical death machine. Does … Continue reading
Scientists Say Your “Mind” Isn’t Confined to Your Brain, or Even Your Body
You might wonder, at some point today, what’s going on in another person’s mind. You may compliment someone’s great mind, or say they are out of their mind. You may even try to expand or free your own mind. But what is a mind? Defining the concept is a surprisingly slippery task. The mind is the seat of consciousness, the … Continue reading
Brightest Galactic Gamma Ray Blast Ever Detected Hits Earth Now
The vulnerability planet Earth possesses has never been so certain since December 2004 when a mammoth explosion occurred in space. RARE GALACTIC EXPLOSION THREATENS EARTH The good: the explosion occurred so far away (50,000 light-years to be exact) that there was only a slight and brief alteration to Earth’s atmosphere. The bad: who is to say the explosion could not … Continue reading
Are We Alone? New Wave of Repeating Deep Space Radio Signals Baffle Scientists
Astronomers have reported a new wave of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) from deep space. These mysterious radio signals have baffled and intrigued astronomers, including some who speculate that they are the work of an extraterrestrial intelligence. Scientists with the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico have detected a series of six FRBs, all … Continue reading
Christmas Solar Storm Threatens Earth’s Electrical Infrastructure
A solar storm will send extraordinary displays of colorful lights through the skies of northern countries, but may interfere with electrical equipment and power supplies. Solar storms, also called geomagnetic storms, occur when plasma, the superheated matter that makes up the sun, is blown outward from our star to create a stream of supercharged particles, sometimes referred to as the … Continue reading
