Coronavirus Mutations Greatly Underestimated, Mutations Affecting Deadliness of Strains
“The deadliest mutations in the Zhejiang patients had also been found in most patients across Europe, while the milder strains were the predominant varieties found in parts of the United States, such as Washington state, according to their paper. A separate study had found that New York strains had been imported from Europe. The death rate in New York was … Continue reading
‘Handful’ of Neanderthals Contributed All the DNA Found in Modern Humans, Scientists Find
A HANDFUL of amorous Neanderthals – possibly as few as 20 individuals – are likely to have provided all the DNA originating from the species which is found in modern humans, a new study has indicated. But the Denisovans, a lesser-understood branch of the human family, are likely to have intermixed with modern humans in at least two distinct mixing … Continue reading
Covid-19 Has Mutated, at Least 30 Different Strains Exists According to New Study
The study was carried out by Professor Li Lanjuan and colleagues from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China and published in a non-peer reviewed paper released on website medRxiv.org on Sunday. A new study in China has found that the novel coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different variations.The results showed that medical officials have vastly underestimated the overall ability … Continue reading
End-of-Days? Bats Dropping Dead in Israel, Signalling ‘Biblical Prophecy’
What’s killing these poor creatures, are 5G towers to blame, or are they also sick with the same virus we’re dealing with? Could this be a sign the end is near for the cancer of the earth that is humanity? via Sputniknews: Some studies earlier suggested that the new coronavirus had been caused by bats, and although this theory has … Continue reading
Deadly Monster Asteroids That Could Wipe Us Out
There are many free roaming asteroids in space that have a potential to collide with our planet, some as massive 900 km across (that was not a typo, nine hundred km across!). It is very disturbing to say the least, but equally disturbing is that it is possible to easily miss an approaching asteroid, even a very large one, so … Continue reading
Deep-Sea Squid Communicate in the Dark by Glowing
The Humboldt squid has evolved a novel solution to the problem of communicating in the depths of the ocean. Found up to 2,300ft beneath the surface of the eastern Pacific Ocean, the Humboldt squid can grow up to 1.5 meters in length and typically travels in large groups of up to 1,200 individuals. One of their most fascinating traits is … Continue reading
NASA Announces Kepler Telescope Discovery of Earth-Size Exoplanet in Habitable Zone
Scientists taking a second look at old observations from the Kepler Space Telescope discovered a planet in a distant solar system the same size as Earth at a distance from its host star suggesting the planet could support water, NASA said in a press release on Wednesday. “Out of all the exoplanets found by Kepler, this distant world – located … Continue reading
Collision With an Ice Planet May Have Given Uranus its Tilt and its Moons
Our solar system has some very odd planets and odd placements of planets. For example gas giants like Jupiter have been found to be more often be closer to the parent star where as Jupiter does not fit that trait. Then we have the unusual tilt of Uranus for which we continue to find the answer to. via IFL Science: … Continue reading
Little Chance Massive Asteroid Heading Our Way Will Annihilate Humanity
“It has an estimated 4.1 kilometres in diameter—much larger than the most common asteroids—which generally do not exceed 100-200 metres in diameter. NASA diagrams appear to show the asteroid crossing the Earth’s orbit.” Given our present world wide situation of the ongoing coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic, one might be forgiven for letting their imagination run away with them, especially with unsubstantiated … Continue reading
What If Earth Faced an Alien Pandemic?
Aside from the current Covid19 Pandemic, a multitude of viruses exist on Earth. We presume they all originated from our own planet, but did they? Could some have come to Earth by hitching a ride on asteroids or comets that have either skimmed our atmosphere, or perhaps even the ones that have collided with Earth either in the past, or … Continue reading
