Technological Aliens Once Inhabited Solar System, Prof Claims
A prior indigenous technological species might have arisen on ancient Earth or another body, such as a pre-greenhouse Venus or a wet Mars. That’s the focus of a paper by Penn State University’s Dr. Jason T. Wright, an associate professor in astronomy and astrophysics. Published this week in arXic, “Prior Indigenous Technological Species” is based on Wright’s idea that an … Continue reading

Are There Remnants of Ancient Civilizations Out There in Our Solar System?
The search for life in the Universe takes many paths. There’s SETI, or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which is searching for signals from a distant ancient civilization. There’s the exploration of our own Solar System, on Mars, or underneath the subsurface oceans of Europa and Enceladus, to see if life can be anywhere there’s liquid water and a source … Continue reading
Genetically Engineered ‘Star Trek-Type Beings’ Will Colonize Mars
The way to the Red Planet and other mysterious worlds is being inspired by the villainous Khan from the blockbuster films, according to new research. The use of stem cell technology may mean the difference between life and death on any attempt to travel beyond Earth into the wilderness of space. So the first person to walk on Mars is … Continue reading
Black Holes ARE Weird But WHITE HOLES Are More Weird, May Be ‘SPEWING Matter From Another Universe’
What scientists do know about black holes is that they are a point in space where the gravity is so intense that not even light can escape – meaning that they are impossible to see, even with modern technology. While nothing in regards to black holes is currently certain, experts believe that once information is inside a black hole, it … Continue reading
Scientists Discover Massive Impact Crater Near the Falklands Islands
Scientists have discovered what they believe is one of the biggest impact craters in the world near the Falklands Islands. They say the crater appears to date to between 270 and 250 million years ago, which, if confirmed, would link it to the world’s biggest mass extinction event, where 96 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. The presence … Continue reading
Research Shows How Dinosaurs Took to the Skies as Birds
A 145-million-year-old fossil discovered in China has helped scientists discover for the first time the evolution of bird legs. A report published Wednesday by the University of Manchester has reinforced evidence of how birds evolved gradually from early dinosaurs. Researchers from Manchester, the Royal Veterinary College and China’s Nanjing University, carried out a study of the lower leg of a … Continue reading
NASA Study Helps Confirm that the Unprecedented Rise in Noctilucent Clouds is Caused by Meteor Dust
Tuesday marked the 10-year mission mark of a NASA satellite, named AIM for Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere, whose purpose was to study noctilucent clouds and the data has proven invaluable. Noctilucent clouds, also known as “night-shining” clouds, form on the edge of space about 50 miles high off the surface. They’re made of ice crystals, which reflect sunlight … Continue reading
Working Fusion Reactor May Have Solved World’s Energy Crisis
Harnessing the power of nuclear fusion may require holding on to a little heat, about 100 million degrees Celsius (180 million degrees Fahrenheit) or so, but for a team out of the UK, it’s no big deal. Tokamak Energy, a British energy company, has built a working fusion reactor which has the potential to heat plasma up to 100 million … Continue reading
Scientists Discover that Epigenetic Memories Are Passed Down for 14 Generations
The most important set of genetic instructions we all get comes from our DNA, passed down through generations. But the environment we live in can make genetic changes, too. Researchers have now discovered that these kinds of environmental genetic changes can be passed down for a whopping 14 generations in an animal – the largest span ever observed in a … Continue reading
