China to Build Massive 20 Mile Diameter Particle Collider, Five Times More Powerful Than LHC
When a series of collisions beneath the French-Swiss border seven years ago confirmed the existence of an elementary particle, it set off a chain reaction in the world of Chinese physicist Wang Yifang. The subatomic crashes in the Large Hadron Collider had verified the existence of the elusive Higgs boson. The confirmation of the “God particle” resolved a number of … Continue reading
Solar Storm Possible for Earth over Easter Weekend
A SOLAR storm is expected to close out the Easter weekend with a bombardment of solar particles set to hit our planet on Easter Monday. Researchers have noticed a small hole on the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere – known as a sunspot – which is turning towards Earth. Sunspots are patches of darkness on the Sun which are … Continue reading
Scientist Predict the Human Brain Could be Connected to the Internet in ‘Next Few Decades’
A new research study suggests that human brains could be merged with technology significantly sooner than many expect, perhaps “within decades.” Known as the “Human Brain/Cloud Interface” (B/CI), researchers at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing in California have suggested that nanorobots could be implanted into the human body and connect to a network in real-time. “These devices would navigate the … Continue reading
Scientists in China Made Rhesus Monkeys Smarter by Adding Human Gene
The 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes begins with concerned scientists attempting to cure Alzheimer’s Disease with an experimental drug that they’re testing on chimpanzees. Naturally, things spiral out of control, eventually leading to a super-intelligent chimps, a pandemic, and two sequels that deal with the dystopia that follows. Given that film made $481.8 million at the … Continue reading
Scientists Discover an Edible Mushroom that Eats Plastic, Could Potentially ‘Clean’ Landfills
Whether we like it or not, our society has become completely reliant on plastic. From food preservation to water transportation, computer technology to healthcare and medicine, plastic can be found in nearly every facet of the human experience. But as we well know, plastic is a double-edged sword, with massive amounts of plastic waste not only piling up in landfills, … Continue reading
Aliens of the Deep Sea – The Most Intelligent Animal on Earth?
How has the octopus become so intelligent and capable of thinking in the abstract? Watch fascinating and often hilarious experiments to see just how smart they are. After this video, you’ll never think about the octopus the same. In Aliens of the Deep Sea we get to see how octopuses behave in the wild too. Off the coast of Vancouver … Continue reading
Baby Born Using DNA from 3 People
A team of Greek and Spanish doctors announced Thursday the birth of a baby using DNA from three people after a controversial fertility treatment that has provoked intense ethical debate. The team used an egg from the infertile mother, the father’s sperm and another woman’s egg to conceive the baby boy, transferring genetic material with chromosomes from the mother to … Continue reading
First Ever Image of an Actual Black Hole Captured By Event Horizon Telescope
For the first time ever astronomers capture an image of an actual black hole, not an artist interpretation or CGI. The particular black hole is supermassive measuring a staggering 40 billion km across and is located at the center of the distant Messier 87 galaxy which lies approximately 55 million light years away. The ‘ring of fire’ surrounding the black … Continue reading
Distant Destroyed Planet Offers Hint of Planet Earth’s Terrifying Future
Astronomers have revealed that a PLANETARY fragment destroyed by the death of its star offers an apocalyptic prophesy into Earth’s future. Earth has orbited the Sun at our solar system’s centre for 4.5 billion years. Our nearest star is responsible for life on Earth existing, due to the huge amount of energy it emits. Yet scientists have discovered the Sun … Continue reading
What if Aliens Have Already Found Humans Without Us Realizing?
We may not yet have found evidence of alien life, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t found us. This is according to a group of scientists who gathered this week in Paris to discuss why, despite decades of searching and the high probability that life exists beyond our own atmosphere, we’ve yet to make contact. One possibility, albeit unflattering, could … Continue reading
