Warp Factor: We’ve Observed a Spinning Star that Drags the Very Fabric of Space and Time
One of the predictions of Einstein’s general theory of relativity is that any spinning body drags the very fabric of space-time in its vicinity around with it. This is known as “frame-dragging”. In everyday life, frame-dragging is both undetectable and inconsequential, as the effect is so ridiculously tiny. Detecting the frame-dragging caused by the entire Earth’s spin requires satellites such … Continue reading
Might Life from Earth Have Been Spread to Distant Worlds ?
It is often suggested that alien life could have reached Earth on a comet, but what about the other way around ? Scientists have long speculated over what processes might have given rise to life on other worlds. One such process, which is known as panspermia, involves life from one planet being transported to another on asteroids and comets that … Continue reading

Human Body Temperature Has Declined Steadily over the Past 160 Years
It’s a number everybody knows by heart — our bodies are supposed to be an average 37°C. But that number may be outdated, according to a new analysis of body temperature records going back to 1860. The study suggests the body temperature of the average U.S. man has dropped by 0.6°C since the Civil War, KQED reports. (A similar drop … Continue reading
Giant Squid May Be Highly Intelligent, New Study Finds
For the first time ever, scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of the elusive giant squid. Growing to sizes in excess of 40ft long, this gargantuan cephalopod, which had been the subject of mariner’s tales for centuries, was only officially recognized relatively recently. Even after the first photograph of a live giant squid was captured in 2004 and the first … Continue reading
Scientists Successfully Grow Mysterious Ancient Organism That Could Be Origin of Life As We Know It
A team of researchers has unravelled a scientific mystery by successfully growing an ancient life form in a lab, a breakthrough that brings us one step closer to discovering our very first ancestors on Earth. The previously unknown organism was unearthed on the floor of the Arctic ocean in 2010. It was dubbed Lokiarchaeota in honor of the Loki’s Castle … Continue reading
Scientists Increase Lifespan of Worms by 500%
A new study has found that a few simple genetic changes can make worms live much, much longer. Mankind has been obsessed with gaining immortality for thousands of years, but even despite the incredible advances in science and medicine achieved over the last few centuries, our species still remains just as vulnerable to the aging process as our ancestors were … Continue reading
Unknown Burst of Gravitational Waves Detected in Space, Is Betelgeuse Going Supernova?
Scientists think they have detected an “unknown or unanticipated” burst of gravitational waves coming from somewhere deep in space. The wobble in spacetime was picked up unexpectedly by the LIGO experiment, which was specifically built to detect gravitational waves. Astronomers have a picture of what part of the sky the burst originated from, and will look to find more information … Continue reading
