Russian Company Begins Mass Production of Life-Like Humanoid Robots that Can Look Like You
A Russian startup has launched serial production of unique life-like robots that not only look the way you want and mimic facial expressions, but are also able to work for you. Based in the Russian city of Perm, Promobot says its humanoid bots, called Android Robo-C, can replace humans in the office and even at home. The android can answer … Continue reading
Where Do Black Holes Lead To?
So there you are, about to leap into a black hole. What could possibly await should — against all odds — you somehow survive? Where would you end up and what tantalizing tales would you be able to regale if you managed to clamor your way back? The simple answer to all of these questions is, as Professor Richard Massey … Continue reading
Faster-Than-Light Warp Drive May Actually Be Possible
A concept for a faster-than-light drive that does not violate the laws of physics has been gaining momentum. Right now the idea of traveling to planets orbiting distant stars is something that we can only dream about – even a spacecraft moving at just under the speed of light would take four years to reach the next closest star and … Continue reading
Study Reveals Unborn Babies Have Tiny ‘Lizard-Like’ Muscles
Are we the reptilian aliens, or perhaps hybrids? via Unexplained-Mysteries: A new study has identified new types of transient muscles in unborn babies that disappear before birth. These remarkable extra muscles, which grow in our hands and feet while we are still in the womb, are thought to either fuse into other muscles or shrink away to nothing before we … Continue reading

The dashed circle indicates the spot where researchers found a weird material beneath the basin that contains metal. [end of caption] Billions of years ago, something slammed into … Continue reading
Life on Mars May Be Found in Couple of Years, Earth ‘Not Prepared’, Says NASA Scientist
Next year, NASA and the European Space Agency’s drilling rovers are to leave for the red planet to seek traces of life deep under the Martian surface. According to Dr Jim Green, who is involved with both missions, it is possible that at least one of them will discover the long-anticipated evidence. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Chief … Continue reading
Lasers Powerful Enough to Rip Holes in the Fabric of Reality are Being Created by Physicists
New technology could allow a high-velocity laser to pierce “through [the] fabric of the Universe.” People generally balk at the idea of scientists experimenting with and manipulating certain pillars of physical reality, whether that be gene splicing, artificial intelligence, or nuclear fusion. But in the last couple of decades, a new twist on this modern Island of Dr. Moreau-style narrative … Continue reading
NASA Increases ‘Planetary Defense’ Spending for Detecting, Deflecting City-Killing Asteroids
NASA has doubled what it is spending to help detect and possibly deflect asteroids on a collision course with Earth. Next year, the U.S. space agency plans to spend $150 million on its so-called “planetary defense” programs. Some of the money would be going to develop systems to detect asteroids and comets like the football-field-sized space rock that zipped past … Continue reading
Cats Can be Right or Left-Pawed- Study
What is the paw preference of your cat ? It’s not only humans who favor one hand over the other – cats seem to share this preference as well. The study, which looked at the behavior of 44 cats ( 20 female and 24 male ), found that male cats tend to favor stepping forward with their left paw while … Continue reading
